 8 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull .SH DESCRIPTION
 9 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull .I Laserbar
10 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull prints on the standard output the PostScript text that will produce
11 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull (on a suitable laser printer) the \s-2CODE-39\s+2 bar code
12 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull corresponding to
13 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull .I string.
14 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull The \fBr\fP option may be used to specify a rotation (in
15 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull degrees) of the bar code.
16 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull The \fBx\fP, \fBy\fP, \fBX\fP, and \fBY\fP options may be used to specify
17 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull an x- or y-axis offset (in inches) or scaling factor, respectively.
18 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull (The offset is measured from the lower left corner of the page
19 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull to the upper left corner of the bar
20 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull code.  By default, the bar code produced is one inch high, and is scaled
21 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull so that the narrowest elements are each 1/72-inch \- i.e., one point \- wide.)
22 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull If the \fBl\fP option is specified, the bar code produced is labeled.
23 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull If the \fBn\fP option is specified, the resulting PostScript text
24 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull includes a leading \f(CWnewpath\fP command, so that the text may stand
25 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull alone or precede any other PostScript commands.
26 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull If the \fBs\fP option is specified, the resulting PostScript text includes 
27 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull a trailing \f(CWshowpage\fP command, so that the text may stand alone
28 b855148c 2004-05-16 devnull or follow any other PostScript commands.
