GROLBP(1) | GROLBP(1) |
For compatibility with grolj4 there is an additional drawing command available:
\D'R dh dv' | Draw a rule (i.e. a solid black rectangle), with one corner at the current position, and the diagonally opposite corner at the current position +(dh,dv). |
-cnumcopies | --copies=numcopies Print numcopies copies of each page. |
-l | --landscape Print the document with a landscape orientation. |
-ppaper_size | --papersize=paper_size Set the paper size to paper_size, which must be a valid paper size description as indicated in the section PAPER SIZES. |
-oorientation | --orientation=orientation Print the document with orientation orientation, which must be `portrait' or `landscape'. |
-wwidth | --linewidth=width Set the default line thickness to width thousandths of an em. If this option isn't specified, the line thickness defaults to 0.04 em. |
-v | --version Print the version number. |
-Fdir | --fontdir=dir Prepend directory dir/devname to the search path for font and device description files; name is the name of the device, usually lbp. |
-h | --help Print a short help text. |
The following chart summarizes the font names you can use to access these fonts:
See groff_font(1) how to set the paper dimensions in the DESC file.
To set the paper size in the command line, add
If no paper size is specified in the DESC file or the command line, a default size of A4 is used.
To set the orientation in the DESC file, insert a line with the following content:
To set the page orientation with command line options you can use the -o or --orientation option with the same parameters (portrait or landscape) as in the DESC file. Or you can use the -l option to force the pages to be printed in landscape.

For bitmapped fonts, printer_font_name has the form N<base_fontname><font_style> |
For instance, if the printer's font listing A shows font `Nelite12I.ISO_USA', the corresponding entry in the font description file is lbpname NeliteI |
Note that you may need to modify grolbp to add support for new bitmapped fonts, since the available font names and font sizes of bitmapped fonts (as documented above) are hard-coded into the program. |
• | For scalable fonts, printer_font_name is identical to the font name as it appears in the printer's font listing A. |
For instance, to select the `Swiss' font in bold style, which appears in the printer's font listing A as `Swiss-Bold', the required lbpname command line is lbpname Swiss-Bold |
The argument of lbpname is case sensitive.
/usr/share/groff_font/devlbp/DESC | Device description file. |
/usr/share/groff_font/devlbp/F | Font description file for font F. |
/usr/share/tmac/lbp.tmac | Macros for use with grolbp. |
