For those who were interested in the PostScript examples I posted earlier
(and confused at my inclusion of non-standard functions), I have made
available a small suite of Postscript handling and supporting procedures.
They're not terribly sophisticated, but they do help with mundane
PostScript printing chores (I think).
They may be found in /pub/idl/postscript in the anonymous FTP account of
orca.astro.washington.edu. Briefly, it contains:
PSSPECXMPL - Heavily commented example of using Postscript hardware fonts;
includes examples of Angstrom, Greek, special, double-stroke
CHARSETS - Prints out whole Postscript hardware font character sets
SETPS - Open Postscript stream with several sizing/positioning options
PSCLOSE - Close PostScript output with automatic printing options
PSOUT - Dump out an image (or graphics window) to a PostScript file
STRN * - Convert any datatype to string with formatting options
VECT * - Convert a vector (array) into a delimiter-separated list
GETDEFVAL ** - Standardized way of retrieving info from a defaults file
* also in the Astronomy Users Library (GSFC)
** called by PSCLOSE but not generally useful unless you have ASTRONLIB.
I'll be happy to take comments or questions regarding these procedures
or the general PostScript topic.
cheers,
Eric
