            "content": "imagetops is a generic image to ps filter. It can be used as print filter in KDE.\n\nimagetops works in two steps:\n\n1. the given file is converted to PNM format by analyzing the file format and calling the\nappropriate conversion program.\n\n2. the file in PNM format is converted to PS format by calling pnmtops.\n\nThe supported mime types are: jpeg, png, x-png, bmp, x-bmp, gif and tiff.\n\nimagetops supports reading the parameters via stdin. A temporary file in $TMPDIR (or /tmp  if\nunset) is created then.\n",
