NAME

       psmegaplot - To create poster-size PostScript plots from page-size plot

SYNOPSIS

       psmegaplot plotfile -Sscale [ -C ]

DESCRIPTION

       psmegaplot reads a GMT-produced PostScript file and ’blows it up’ by an
       arbitrary scale. The result is several plots that make up the pieces in
       a jigsaw puzzle. Cut and paste these pieces to make a ’megaplot’.


       plotfile
              PostScript file as created by the GMT programs.

       -S     Multiply the x- and y-dimension by scale. scale must  be  larger
              than 1.0.

OPTIONS

       No space between the option flag and the associated arguments.

       -C     Plot crop marks in each corner of every output page. [Default is
              no marks]

EXAMPLES

       To magnify a contour-map PostScript file 3 times, giving a total  of  9
       output pages to be pasted together, use

       psmegaplot hawaii_contour.ps -S3 -C > hawaii_contour_megaplot.ps

BUGS

       This  program  is unlikely to work on non-GMT-produced PostScript files
       since it anticipates the structure of the file. It  also  assumes  that
       the output media is Letter size.
