.TH PSMEGAPLOT l DATE
.SH NAME
psmegaplot \- To create poster-size \fIPostScript\fP plots from page-size plot
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBpsmegaplot\fP \fIplotfile\fP \fB\-S\fP\fIscale\fP [ \fB\-C\fP ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBpsmegaplot\fP reads a \fIPostScript\fP 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'.
NB! Any rotation/translation/scaling performed at the top of the original \fIPostScript\fP file must be
reversed at the end of the file in order for psmegaplot to work. Also, there must be no
showpage command at the end of the file. (Run \fBGMT\fP programs with the \fB\-K\fP option)
