2001.03.14 21:44 "Changes to tiff2ps.c", by Bruce A. Mallett

I've made a couple of changes to the tiff2ps tool for my own local use and was wondering:

• if the changes were of general interest?
• if so, how to go about getting the changes in the general distribution?

The changes are minor as follows:

1. Added "-i #" switch to enable/disable pixel interpolation
2. Added "-m" switch to force use of imagemask operator instead of image.

The imagemask operator is something that I need to enable transparency for one bit deep images (my changes revert back to using "image" if the image is other than one bit deep).

This is what tiff2ps usage info looks like here:

    ==========

 -p            generate regular PostScript
 -s            generate PostScript for a single image
