mag - computes fontsizes and magsteps

Synopsis

mag [-Rdpi ] magstep . . . mag [-r ] [-R dpi ] fontsize . . .

Description

eqn not supported This tool calculates fontsizes given magsteps. TeXfonts are provided as true sized fonts or as magnifications. The fontsize of a true sized font equals the resolution of the printer (ex. 300). The fontsize of a font magnified $n$ magsteps equals: eqn not supported rounded to its nearest integer value. Fontnames for TeX fonts normally consists of the name (cmr ), pointsize (10 ), type (pk ) and fontsize (360 ), for example: cmr10.360pk .

Examples

The result of mag -R240 -2 0 0.5 1 will be: 


 167 240 263 288
The inverse function is computed with the -r option. The result of mag -r -R240 167 240 263 288 will be the fontsteps: 


 -2 0 0.5 1
The UNIX shells allow command substitution. One can write: 


 mag -r -R240 `mag -R240 -2 0 0.5 1`
