Pp.bmp has been updated to be compatible with other print filters
in terms of scaling and margins etc. Unfortunately the use message was
not updated. The default behaviour is to fit the image to the page size.
To override this use the -S scaling option specifying 1.0 times source size
e.g. Pp.bmp -S-1x-1 measure.phs > measure.bmp

Hhmm, it complains about an >Invalid Option (‘S’)< …
My executable is dated 14-Sep-1999, size 29163 bytes.
Are you sure that this new behaviour increases the execution time by
a factor of 100?

How reliable is your factor of 100 estimate? I know you said it used
to take a second or so, and now it takes about 25. That seems like
a factor of 25 (or so) to me.
And if Pp.bmp used to generate say a 1024x768 pixel file, and now it
generates a 6000x4800 pixel file, then that’s a factor of 36 times as many
pixels right there.

It was less than a second … exact measurement (with another sample
file):
almost factor 50 this time with a 633*689pixel² file.

That makes sense, but nevertheless:
my Pp.bmp doesn’t accept the ‘-S’ option. (
Yes, there is a new version. I thought that was the version you
had but it was released quite recently and is probably still in
the pipeline somewhere. I will send you a copy by e-mail.

I tried the new Pp.bmp you sent me with this option, but it doesn’t like
it either (Invalid option (‘S’)), I also tried the small ‘s’ but without
success.
The picture generated by the new Pp.bmp is really big, the width and
height are
ten times longer than the original PHS picture size. The BMP file size
is
approximately 17Mbyte and I think this is eating the processing time.
BTW, the picture looks really brilliant, but it is definately too large
for
our purposes .
What I need is an option to scale the BMP output dimension to a certain
format,
let’s say 640x480 or so, to get a handy file size for transmitting it
over a
serial connection.
In Photon 1.13 the Pp.bmp output had the same dimensions as the PHS file
tha would be a nice Pp.bmp option from my point of view.
