Scaling, rotating and shifting images

Pictures can be scaled, translated (shifted) and rotated. For example:

% psmerge -s0.5x0.5 -t72x144 -r10 pic1.eps > printme.ps

will shrink the picture to half its normal size, move the origin 1 inch to the right and 2 inches upwards and rotate it 10 degrees anti-clockwise.

Translations are in units of 1/72 of an inch1 and rotations are in degrees anti-clockwise.
