Reads a Group 3 fax file (raw or digifax) as input. If no filename is given, stdin is used. Produces a
displayable xwd file as output.
Name
g3toxwd - converts a Group 3 fax file into a displayable xwd file
Options
-kludge
Tells g3toxwd to skip the first lines for synchronisation.
-reversebits
Tells g3toxwd to interpret bits least-significant first, instead of the default most-significant
first. Apparently some fax modems do it one way and others do it the other way. If you get a
whole bunch of "invalid code" messages, try using this flag.
-scaleN
Scale the output to match the printer resolution and paper size, the default of 0.58 will do in
most cases.
-aspectN
Scale the output to match the printer resolution and paper size, the default of 1.0 will do for
high resolution faxes, 2.0 will do for low resolution faxes.
-skiprowsN
N faxrows of the input file will be skipped.
-name<name>
The name <name> will be put in the output file for xwd.

The standard for Group 3 fax is defined in CCITT Recommendation T.4.
