- Reads an AutoCAD(Reg.) slide file and outputs a portable
- pixmap. If no _s_l_i_d_e_f_i_l_e is specified, input is read from
- standard input. The ppmdraw library is used to convert the
- vector and polygon information in the slide file to a
- pixmap; see the file ppmdraw.h for details on this package.
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- ----aaaaddddjjjjuuuusssstttt
- If the display on which the slide file was created had
- non-square pixels, when the slide is processed with
- ssssllllddddttttooooppppppppmmmm and the ----aaaaddddjjjjuuuusssstttt option is not present, the
- following warning will appear:
- Warning - pixels on source screen were non-square.
- Specifying ----aaaaddddjjjjuuuusssstttt will correct image width to
- compensate.
- Specifying the ----aaaaddddjjjjuuuusssstttt option causes ssssllllddddttttooooppppppppmmmm to scale
- the width of the image so that pixels in the resulting
- portable pixmap are square (and hence circles appear as
- true circles, not ellipses). The scaling is performed
- in the vector domain, before scan converting the
- objects. The results are, therefore, superior in
- appearance to what you'd obtain were you to perform the
- equivalent scaling with ppppnnnnmmmmssssccccaaaalllleeee after the bitmap had
- been created.
-
- ----ddddiiiirrrr The input is assumed to be an AutoCAD slide library
- file. A directory listing each slide in the library is
- printed on standard error.
-
- ----hhhheeeeiiiigggghhhhtttt _s_i_z_e
- Scales the image in the vector domain so it is _s_i_z_e
- pixels in height. If no ----wwwwiiiiddddtttthhhh or ----xxxxssssiiiizzzzeeee option is
- specified, the width will be adjusted to preserve the
- pixel aspect ratio.
-
- ----iiiinnnnffffoooo
- Dump the slide file header on standard error,
- displaying the original screen size and aspect ratio
- among other information.
-
- ----lllliiiibbbb _n_a_m_e
- Extracts the slide with the given _n_a_m_e from the slide

- library given as input. The specified _n_a_m_e is
- converted to upper case.
-
- ----LLLLiiiibbbb _n_a_m_e
- Extracts the slide with the given _n_a_m_e from the slide
- library given as input. The _n_a_m_e is used exactly as
- specified; it is not converted to upper case.
-
- ----ssssccccaaaalllleeee _s
- Scales the image by factor _s, which may be any floating
- point value greater than zero. Scaling is done after
- aspect ratio adjustment, if any. Since scaling is
- performed in the vector domain, before rasterisation,
- the results look much better than running the output of
- ssssllllddddttttooooppppppppmmmm through ppppnnnnmmmmssssccccaaaalllleeee.
-
- ----vvvveeeerrrrbbbboooosssseeee
- Dumps the slide file header and lists every vector and
- polygon in the file on standard error.
-
- ----wwwwiiiiddddtttthhhh _s_i_z_e
- Scales the image in the vector domain so it is _s_i_z_e
- pixels wide. If no ----hhhheeeeiiiigggghhhhtttt or ----yyyyssssiiiizzzzeeee option is
- specified, the height will be adjusted to preserve the
- pixel aspect ratio.
-
- ----xxxxssssiiiizzzzeeee _s_i_z_e
- Scales the image in the vector domain so it is _s_i_z_e
- pixels wide. If no ----hhhheeeeiiiigggghhhhtttt or ----yyyyssssiiiizzzzeeee option is
- specified, the height will be adjusted to preserve the
- pixel aspect ratio.
-
- ----yyyyssssiiiizzzzeeee _s_i_z_e
- Scales the image in the vector domain so it is _s_i_z_e
- pixels in height. If no ----wwwwiiiiddddtttthhhh or ----xxxxssssiiiizzzzeeee option is
- specified, the width will be adjusted to preserve the
- pixel aspect ratio.
-
- All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
- prefix.

- BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
- Only Level 2 slides are converted. Level 1 format has been
- obsolete since the advent of AutoCAD Release 9 in 1987, and
- was not portable across machine architectures.
-
- Slide library items with names containing 8 bit (such as
- ISO) or 16 bit (Kanji, for example) characters may not be
- found when chosen with the ----lllliiiibbbb option unless ssssllllddddttttooooppppppppmmmm has
- been built with character set conversion functions
- appropriate to the locale. You can always retrieve slides
- from libraries regardless of the character set by using the
