%\iffalse % % This is a set of utilities that I have used in London % to print large files to an HP 6xx series plotter. % At least the way I use it, this plotter handles the top % margin in a bizzare way that requires some preprocessing % to get things into a predictable location on the physical % page. I don't provide any documentation here, because the % chances are good that my problems were one-off problems. % But it you, too, have trouble with HP 6xx series plotters % and dvips, I will be happy to explain how this stuff works % together (if I can remember). % %\fi % % \iffalse %<*driver> \documentclass{ltxdoc} %\CodelineIndex %\EnableCrossrefs \begin{document} \OnlyDescription % Comment out for implementation details \DocInput{plotutil.dtx} \end{document} % % \fi % % \CheckSum{77} % %\StopEventually{\PrintIndex} % % \begin{macrocode} %<*script> #!/bin/bash JOBNAME=`basename ${*##* } .dvi` if [ $# -gt 1 ] ; then OPTIONS=${*% *} else OPTIONS="" fi echo ------------------------------------------------------------------- echo : Calculating offset value HEIGHT=`cat ./$JOBNAME.hps | sed -e s/.*PageSize\ \\\[[0-9]*\ \\\\\([0-9]*\\\\\)\\\].*/\\\1/` OFFSET=795 echo : Offset base figure is ${OFFSET}pt PT_OFFSET=`echo $OFFSET $HEIGHT-p|dc|sed s/-/_/` echo : Required offset in points is ${PT_OFFSET}pt CM_OFFSET=`echo 2k$PT_OFFSET 72.27/2.54*p|dc` echo : Setting offset to ${CM_OFFSET}cm echo : ... echo : God only knows why this process is necessary. echo : \$\#\&\^\"\=\$\%\@ echo ------------------------------------------------------------------- echo dvips $OPTIONS -P372hpplotq -O 2.1cm,${CM_OFFSET}cm -h ./$JOBNAME.hps -o $JOBNAME.ps $JOBNAME.dvi dvips $OPTIONS -P372hpplotq -O 2.1cm,${CM_OFFSET}cm -h ./$JOBNAME.hps -o $JOBNAME.ps $JOBNAME.dvi echo Wrote PostScript\(TM\) output to $JOBNAME.ps \(I think\). % % \end{macrocode} % % \begin{macrocode} %<*style> \NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1995/06/01] \ProvidesPackage{hpplotsz} [1997/11/07 Custom page sizes with HP 6xx series plotters (Frank Bennett)] \newlength\hps@templen \newwrite\hps@pagesizeheader \newcount\hps@orientation \def\hps@@strip#1.#2\end{#1} \def\hps@strip#1{\expandafter\hps@@strip\the#1\end} \def\sethpplotsize{% \ifnum\hsize>\vsize\hps@orientation=3\else\hps@orientation=0\fi \immediate\openout\hps@pagesizeheader=./\jobname.hps \immediate\write\hps@pagesizeheader{% <>setpagedevice} \immediate\closeout\hps@pagesizeheader} % % \end{macrocode} % \Finale \PrintChanges
