# pbmtextps
> Render text as a PBM image using PostScript.
> See also: `pbmtext`.
> More information: <https://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pbmtextps.html>.
- Render a single line of text as a PBM image:
`pbmtextps "{{Hello World!}}" > {{path/to/output.pbm}}`
- Specify the font and font size:
`pbmtextps -font {{Times-Roman}} -fontsize {{30}} "{{Hello World!}}" > {{path/to/output.pbm}}`
- Specify the desired left and top margins:
`pbmtextps {{[-l|-leftmargin]}} {{70}} {{[-t|-topmargin]}} {{162}} "{{Hello World!}}" > {{path/to/output.pbm}}`
- Do not output the rendered text as a PBM image, but a PostScript program that would create this image:
`pbmtextps {{[-du|-dump-ps]}} "{{Hello World!}}" > {{path/to/output.ps}}`
