tc - phototypesetter simulator
SYNOPSIS
tc
[
-t
]
[
-sN
]
[
-pL
]
[
file
]
DESCRIPTION
Tc
interprets its
input (standard input default)
as device codes for a Graphic Systems phototypesetter (cat).
The standard output of
tc
is intended for a Tektronix 4015 (a 4014 terminal
with ASCII and APL character sets).
The sixteen typesetter sizes are mapped into the 4014's
four sizes;
the entire TROFF character set is drawn using the 4014's
character generator,
using overstruck combinations where necessary.
Typical usage:
-
troff -t file | tc
At the end of each page
tc
waits for a newline (empty line) from the keyboard before
continuing on to the next page.
In this wait state, the command
e
will suppress the screen erase before the next page;
sN will cause the next N pages to be skipped;
and
!line will send line to the shell.
The command line options are:
- -t
-
Don't wait between pages; for directing output into a file.
- -sN
-
Skip the first N pages.
- -pL
-
Set page length to L.
L may include the scale factors
p
(points),
i
(inches),
c
(centimeters),
and
P
(picas);
default is picas.
- '-l w'
-
Multiply the default aspect ratio, 1.5, of a displayed page
by
l/w.

plot(1G)
BUGS
Font distinctions are lost.
tc's
character set is limited to ASCII in just one size.
The aspect ratio option is unbelievable.
