NAME

pslib - postscript generation

SYNOPSIS

include "pslib.m";
pslib := load Pslib Pslib->PATH;

init: fn(bufio: Bufio);
writeimage: fn(f: ref Bufio->Iobuf,
			img: ref Draw->Image, dpi: int): string;

DESCRIPTION

Pslib must first be initialised by calling Init with a loaded Bufio module. Writeimage writes a Postscript file containing the data within img to f, which should first have been opened for writing by bufio. Dpi is a value specifying the pixel width of pixels in img; the width (and height) of dpi dots in img will be one inch when the Postscript is rendered.

BUGS

The resulting Postscript is really only suitable for use as encapsulated Postscript, as there's no way to set the destination paper size.

There should be many more useful functions in this module.
