2.4 Examples

Basic usage examples.


% dvi2bitmap --resolution=110 --magnification=2 --scale=2 \
    --output-type=gif hello.dvi
This converts the file hello.dvi to a GIF bitmap. It first sets the magnification factor to 2, so that the program uses a double-size font (eg, .../cmr10.220pk), then scales the bitmap down by a factor of 2 to obtain a bitmap of the correct size.


% dvi2bitmap -n -Qf --resolution=110 --magnification=1.5 \
    --verbose=quiet hello.dvi
Qf cmr10 165 110 1.5 localfont
This reads the DVI file to find out what fonts are required, but does not process it further. It then tries to find the fonts, fails, and produces a list of parameters which could be used to generate the font files.

See also Section 2.5, and see Section 3 for more elaborate examples of use.
