pbmtextps

Render text as a PBM image using PostScript. See also: pbmtext. More information: https://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pbmtextps.html.

  • Render a single line of text as a PBM image:

pbmtextps "{{Hello World!}}" > {{path/to/output.pbm}}

  • Specify the font and font size:

pbmtextps -font {{Times-Roman}} -fontsize {{30}} "{{Hello World!}}" > {{path/to/output.pbm}}

  • Specify the desired left and top margins:

pbmtextps {{[-l|-leftmargin]}} {{70}} {{[-t|-topmargin]}} {{162}} "{{Hello World!}}" > {{path/to/output.pbm}}

  • Do not output the rendered text as a PBM image, but a PostScript program that would create this image:

pbmtextps {{[-du|-dump-ps]}} "{{Hello World!}}" > {{path/to/output.ps}}
