       Use any setting or operator as an output-option.  Only a limited  number  of  setting
       are   input-option. They include: -antialias, -caption, -density, -define, -encoding,
       -font, -pointsize, -size, and -texture as well as any of the miscellaneous options.

       By default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic number.  To specify
       a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon
       (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the  filename  suffix  (i.e.  image.ps).
       Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output.

'-' for standard input or output.
