NAME

fbm2pod - convert grayscale to Diablo graphics  

SYNOPSIS

fbm2pod [ -fbc<parm> ] [-s<sharpen> ] [ size ] < 8bit > pod
 

DESCRIPTION

Equivalent to fbhalf, but generates a file for the Diablo printer at 30 dpi horizontal and 24 dpi vertical.  

EXAMPLE

Given a grayscale image, reproduce it on a Diablo printer. Use blue noise dithering and size the output for about 25,000 pixels (around 5x7 inches on a Diablo). Use sharpening with beta=10 to enhance edges:


    % fbm2pod -s10 25000 < foo.8bit > foo.pod

At CMU, the podtype(1) command is used to send files to Diablo printers.
