rem2ps - draw a PostScript calendar from Remind output
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
rreemm22ppss [[_o_p_t_i_o_n_s]
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
RReemm22ppss reads the standard input, which should be the
results of running RReemmiinndd with the --pp option. It emits
PostScript code (which draws a calendar) to the standard
output.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
--ll Produce the calendar in landscape mode rather than
the default portrait mode.
--cc Do not generate small calendars for the next and
previous months. By default, these small calendars
are generated and placed on the main calendar.
--mm mmeeddiiaa
Set the page size. You must specify the media
type, which can be one of the following. (Sizes
are approximate. For a list of media types, type
"rem2ps -m help".)
Letter 8.5 x 11 in.
Legal 11 x 17 in.
Ledger 8.5 x 14 in.
Statement
5.5 x 8.5 in.
Executive
7.5 x 10 in.
A3 29.7 x 42 cm.
A4 21 x 29.7 cm.
A5 14.8 x 21 cm.
B4 25.7 x 36.4 cm.
B5 18.3 x 25.7 cm.
Folio 8.5 x 13 in.
Quarto 8.5 x 10.8 in.
10x14 10 x 14 in.

REM2PS(1) REM2PS(1)
Type "rem2ps -m help" for a list of available
media. Note that the media type (and all RReemm22ppss
options) are case-sensitive.
--ff[sshheedd] _f_o_n_t
Set the font for the small calendar, the calendar
headings, the calendar entries, and the day num-
bers, respectively. _F_o_n_t must be the name of a
valid PostScript font. The default fonts are
equivalent to specifying:
-fhes Helvetica -fd Helvetica-BoldOblique
In other words, the heading, entry and small-
calendar fonts are set to Helvetica, and the font
for the day numbers is set to Helvetica-
BoldOblique.
--ss[hheedd] _s_i_z_e
Set the size (in points) of the text for the the
calendar headings, the calendar entries, and the
day numbers, respectively. _S_i_z_e must be a decimal
number. The default sizes are equivalent to speci-
fying:
-sdh 14 -se 8
In other words, the heading and day numbers are
14-point fonts, and the calendar entries are
printed in 8-point text.
--bb _s_i_z_e
Set the size of the blank white border in each cal-
endar box to _s_i_z_e points. The default border size
is 6 points, or 1/12 in.
--tt _s_i_z_e
Set the thickness of the black calendar grid lines.
The default is 1, for a line thickness of one point
(1/72 in.)
UUSSAAGGEE
To use RReemm22ppss, you should pipe the output of RReemmiinndd with
the --pp option to RReemm22ppss, and then send the result to a
printer. This is most easily illustrated with examples:
remind -p12 /dev/null 1 jan 1994 | rem2ps | lpr -Plaser
That example creates a blank calendar for the entire year
of 1994, and sends it the the printer named "laser."
remind -p ~/.reminders | rem2ps -l -sd 18 > cal.ps
This reminder creates a calendar for the current month,
25 November 1992 2
REM2PS(1) REM2PS(1)
filling in entries from the reminder file "~/.reminders."
The calendar is produced in landscape mode, with a font
size of 18 for the day numbers. The result is put in the
PostScript file "cal.ps."

BBUUGGSS
All RReemm22ppss options are case-sensitive, unlike RReemmiinndd. Any
time you supply a font name or size, line thickness, or
border width, it is treated as a string and sent straight
to the PostScript interpreter. Thus, if you supply
invalid fonts or sizes, RReemm22ppss will not complain, but the
resulting PostScript output will probably not work.
