flexfax: Re: faxmail :attachment file ?

[Ben Parker <ben@dha.unon.org>]

This is what I now use for GIF. Haven't had time to try any other formats
yet (JPEG would be nice). Two scripts. The second, the perl script, hacks
the output to make it fit on one separate page almost full size (18/20). 

#/usr/local/sbin/faxmail/image/gif
#!/bin/bash
giftopnm -v $1 | ppmtopgm | pnmtops -rle -nocenter | /usr/local/sbin/faxmail/image/pnmpsfix.pl

#/usr/local/sbin/faxmail/image/pnmpsfix.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<STDIN>) {
	if ($_ =~ "scale") {
		($x,$y,$junk) = split(/\s/);
		$newx = $x * 18;
		$newy = $y * 18;
		print "showpage\n";
		print "15 25 translate\n";
	}
	print $_;
}



Good luck,

Ben
