## NAME
       imagetops - generic image to ps filter

## SYNOPSIS
       **imagetops** [**-gray**] [**arguments** **for** **pnmtops**] [_filename_]

## DESCRIPTION
       **imagetops** is a generic image to ps filter. It can be used as print filter in KDE.

       **imagetops** works in two steps:

           1. the given file is converted to PNM format by analyzing the file format and calling the
              appropriate conversion program.

           2. the file in PNM format is converted to PS format by calling **pnmtops**.

       The supported mime types are: jpeg, png, x-png, bmp, x-bmp, gif and tiff.

       **imagetops** supports reading the parameters via stdin. A temporary file in _$TMPDIR_ (or _/tmp_  if
       unset) is created then.
