CHOPTEST(8C)

NAME
       choptest - HylaFAX page chopping test program

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/local/sbin/choptest [ options ] input.tif

DESCRIPTION
       choptest  is  a program for testing the page chopping sup-
       port  in  the  HylaFAX  software  (specifically,  in   the
       faxq(8C) program).  choptest analyzes a TIFF/F (TIFF Class
       F) file with 1-D MR- or 2-D MR-encoded  data  and  reports
       what  the  automatic  page  chopping logic would do if the
       file were submitted for transmission.   Options  are  pro-
       vided  for  controlling  whether  choptest checks the last
       page or all pages of the  document,  and  what  whitespace
       threshold  to use in deciding if a page should be chopped.

OPTIONS
       -a        Chop all pages in the document.  This is equiva-
                 lent   to  setting  the  PageChop  configuration
                 parameter  to  ``all'';  c.f.   config(5F).   By
                 default  only  the  last page of the document is
                 considered.

       -t inches Set the minimum whitespace threshold  that  must
                 be present on a page for it to be chopped.  This
                 is equivalent to the PageChopThreshold  configu-
                 ration  parameter; c.f.  config(5F).  By default
                 choptest requires that  at  least  3  inches  of
                 trailing whitespace be present.

EXAMPLES
       The  following  shows  a multi-page, high-resolution docu-
       ment.  Each page has insufficient whitespace for it to  be
       chopped.

       hyla% ./choptest -a ~/tiff/pics/faxix.tif
       Chop pages with >=3" of white space at the bottom.
