mag - computes fontsizes and magsteps
!!SYNOPSIS


__mag__ [[-__R__''dpi] magstep . . .''


__mag__ [[-__r__] [[-__R__''dpi''] fontsize . .
.
!!DESCRIPTION


delim $$ This tool calculates fontsizes given magsteps.
!TeXfonts are provided as true sized fonts or as
magnifications. The fontsize of a true sized font equals the
resolution of the printer (ex. 300). The fontsize of a font
magnified $n$ ''magsteps'' equals: 1.2 sup{n} times 300
delim off rounded to its nearest integer value. Fontnames
for TeX fonts normally consists of the name (''cmr''),
pointsize (''10''), type (''pk'') and fontsize
(''360''), for example: ''cmr10.360pk''.
!!EXAMPLES


The result of ''mag -R240 -2 0 0.5 1'' will
be:


167 240 263 288
The inverse function is computed with the ''-r'' option. The result of ''mag -r -R240 167 240 263 288'' will be the fontsteps:


-2 0 0.5 1
The UNIX shells allow command substitution. One can write:


mag -r -R240 `mag -R240 -2 0 0.5 1`
