choptest(8)
HylaFAX page chopping test program
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/choptest
[
options
] input.tif
DESCRIPTION
choptest
is a program for testing the page chopping support in
the
HylaFAX software (specifically, in the
faxq(8)
program).
choptest
analyzes a
TIFF/F
(
TIFF
Class F) file with 1-D MH- 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 provided 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 equivalent to setting the
PageChop
configuration parameter to ``all''; c.f.
hylafax-config(5).
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
configuration parameter; c.f.
hylafax-config(5).
By default
choptest
requires that at least 3 inches of trailing whitespace be present.
EXAMPLES
The following shows a multi-page, high-resolution document.
Each page has insufficient whitespace for it to be chopped.
hyla% ./choptest -a ~/tiff/pics/faxix.tif
Chop pages with >=3" of white space at the bottom.
