wxbmpp _options_ _path_
Wxbmpp is a GUI version of bitmap2pp. It converts bitmap images from PNG, JPEG, NetPBM, and TIFF to PDF and PS/EPS.
Two operating modes are available:
Option | Purpose |
---|---|
-l…, --language=… | Driver, optionally with output mode, optionally key=value pairs for detailed configuration. |
-m, --make | Activate "make mode" when processing directories. |
The program is intended to convert all suitable input images in a directory, so you must choose the directory first.
Use the left toolbar button or the "File → Choose directory" menu item.
The conversion options are set in the main window.
Option | Purpose |
---|---|
Make | Operate like the "make" program, avoid unnecessary conversions if a destination file exists and is up to date. |
Output | The output file type and intended purpose, one from: "PDF object", "PDF image", "PDF document", "EPS image", "PS image", "PS document". |
PS level | The PS language level, if PS or EPS output is produced. |
DSC | Write DSC comments to PS/EPS output. |
LZW | Allow LZW compression when producing PS/EPS level 2 output. |
Paper size | One of the paper sizes defined in dk3paper.conf and/or dk4paper.conf files. |
Rotation | Allow to rotate image for better page filling. |
Finishing | The finishing process, either print single-sided, duplex or duplex+tumble. |
Resolution | How to find the image size either use resolution information found in input file, ignore resolution and use 72 dpi or manually specify a resolution or a resolution pair (x and y resolution). |
Color | Produce coloured or grayscaled output. |
RGB to gray | Method to convert RGB pixel data to gray. |
Background | Default background colour to use for transparent images if the image does not provide background colour information. |
Enforce background | Use default background colour also for files containing background colour information. |
Interpolation | Set interpolation flag in output. If this flag is set, image rendering programs are allowed to optimize on-screen representation. |
Analyze bit depth | Check whether the number of bits per component can be used without quality loss. |
Analyze colour use | For images indicating RGB colour space check whether all pixels are gray (R=G=B), switch to grayscaled colour space if no colours are used. |
Analyze alpha | For input images with alpha channel we can ignore the alpha channel if it indicates full opacity for all pixels. |
Width/height for LaTeX | Restrict output width and height to 16322 bp when creating images or objects. |
DCT interpolation | A separated switch to control image interpolation is available for direct use of DCT encoded data from JPEG files. |
JPEG DCT data | Use DCT encoded data from JPEG files directly without decoding and flate/LZW/run-length coding. Using DCT encoded data directly results in faster processing and smaller output files. |
Use the right toolbar button or the "Conversion → Run" menu item to start a conversion.
A progress dialog box is shown while the conversion is running.
0 on success, all other values indicate errors.
This program uses DK libraries version 4.
