CHOPTEST(8C)CHOPTEST(8C)NAMEchoptest - HylaFAX page chopping test program
SYNOPSIS
/usr/contrib/bin/choptest [ options ] input.tif
DESCRIPTIONchoptest is a program for testing the page chopping sup-
port in the HylaFAX software (specifically, in the
faxq(8C) program). choptest analyzes a TIFF/F (TIFF Class
F) file with 1-D MR- or 2-D MR-encoded data and reports
what the automatic page chopping logic would do if the
file were submitted for transmission. Options are pro-
vided for controlling whether choptest checks the last
page or all pages of the document, and what whitespace
threshold to use in deciding if a page should be chopped.
OPTIONS-a Chop all pages in the document. This is equiva-
lent to setting the PageChop configuration
parameter to ``all''; c.f. config(5F). By
default only the last page of the document is
considered.
-t inches Set the minimum whitespace threshold that must
be present on a page for it to be chopped. This
is equivalent to the PageChopThreshold configu-
ration parameter; c.f. config(5F). By default
choptest requires that at least 3 inches of
trailing whitespace be present.
EXAMPLES
The following shows a multi-page, high-resolution docu-
ment. Each page has insufficient whitespace for it to be
chopped.
hyla% ./choptest -a ~/tiff/pics/faxix.tif
