PROGRAM:

NAME


dvipos - compute positions in a DVI file

SYNOPSIS


dvipos [ OPTION... ] infile[.dvi]

DESCRIPTION


dvipos parses a DVI file looking for pos: specials. It currently recognizes pos:pxy,
pos:pxywhd, pos:pxyplus, pos:begbox, pos:endbox, pos:beglines, and pos:endlines. It then
outputs the information from those specials along with information that only a DVI
postprocessor could determine, such as the current x and y location. The output looks
like:
\pospxywhd{text:54}{54}{10663sp}{8535sp}{21326sp}{34081sp}{0sp}
and is suitable for including in a tex(1) or pdftex(1) auxilliary file, such as
document.tuo, to be read in by the next run of the tex(1) or similar typesetting engine.

OPTIONS


-h, --help
print usage.

-W, --warning
print warnings.

-v, --verbose
print verbose output.

-d, --debug
print dvitype(1) debugging data.

-s, --smashchars
regard height and depth as zero.

-o, --output=FILE
send all output to FILE. Without this option, output goes to stdout.

-b, --bbox[=FILE]
send bounding box to FILE (default FILE is infile.pos).

-f, --framed[=BASE]
request copy of DVI file, BASE.dvi, with bounding boxes framed (default FILE is
infile_frames.dvi). See the --framesize option.

-m, --mag=INT
override tex(1) magnification by INT.

-w, --framesize=INT
set frame rule size by INT (default 6554 = .1pt).

-p, --pages=X:Y
set page ranges from X to Y.

USAGE


dvipos is run mostly behind the scenes by ConTeXt's texexec(1) between runs of tex(1) or
pdftex(1), in order to provide information to and get information about positional
graphics. These graphics are provided by the MetaFun interface to mpost(1). dvipos is
not used (or needed) in PDF-output mode but is needed for DVI-output mode. pdftex(1)
starting with version 1.40 can produce position information even in DVI mode, so once the
ConTeXt macros take advantage of this feature, the need for dvipos will fade.

Until then, here is a typical use of dvipos:
dvipos notes.dvi
The position information that is output is collected by texexec(1) to include in the
notes.tuo auxilliary file to use in the next run.

EXAMPLES


Extract positions from doc.dvi, with output to doc.loc:
dvipos -o doc.loc doc.dvi

Same as above, but also send bbox information to doc.pos:
dvipos -b -o doc.loc doc.dvi

Instead send bbox information to /tmp/debug.pos:
dvipos -b=/tmp/debug.pos -o doc.loc doc.dvi
