POSTER(1) POSTER(1) NAME poster - Scale and tile a postscript image to print on multiple pages SYNOPSIS poster <options> infile DESCRIPTION Poster can be used to create a large poster by building it from multi- ple pages and/or printing it on large media. It expects as input a generic (encapsulated) postscript file, normally printing on a single page. The output is again a postscript file, maybe containing multiple pages together building the poster. The output pages bear cutmarks and have slightly overlapping images for easier assembling.
