HOME ABOUT US FAQS PC UPDATE ... SECURE ACCESS The magazine of the Melbourne PC User Group PostScript - For the bookshelf Major Keary PostScript derives from work done at Xerox PARC in the late 1970s and early 1980s; commercial development was taken over by Adobe Systems and now PostScript is firmly established. It is widely used for the production and transfer of documents for the print industry, and has given us the PDF format. For many computer users PostScript is a black art, the secrets of which are known to only a privileged few. PostScript is both a page description language and a programming language. PostScript files are created and stored in "pure" ASCII, which means the original 7-bit standard set out in ANSI X3.4-1968; files contain only those ninety-three characters that are represented on the keyboard: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, space, and the punctuation marks and other symbols for which there are keys. PostScript files are platform-independent and particularly robust for transmission over poor communication connections. They can also be very large files, but compress well. Creating PostScript files is easy. Just use a PostScript printer driver (you don't need a physical printer) and print-to-file from any application that provides a print function (word processor, DTP, graphics, and so on). There is plenty of software-some free-that will convert a PostScript file to PDF. Even printing on non-PostScript printers can be achieved with software emulation, such as provided by

48. Moire Test Films granted the right to distribute the PostScript programs also.) The code that follows should make sense to those who are familiar with postscript programming. http://www.imagequality.com/dtp/filmsps.html

PostScript code for halftone-screen moire test films Notes by Peter Fink... The code on this page is one of three PostScript programs released to the public concurrently with the book PostScript Screening: Adobe Accurate Screens in 1992. (As author of the book and the following code, I was granted the right to distribute the PostScript programs also.) The code that follows should make sense to those who are familiar with PostScript programming. To detect moire patterns in a prospective halftone screen set, you need to image films of the screen set with large, even tint areas. You then examine these areas carefully for variations in rosette formation. If you simply want to see the rosettes you get from your standard imagesetting system you can simply put a big light-gray four-color flat tint in a page-layout program and send it off to the RIP. However, if you are a screen set developer you need to be sure you have complete control of the situation, so it makes sense to use a PostScript program similar to this one. Once you have inserted the screen parameters in the indicated places and saved the revised file, you download it directly to the RIP as you would any other PostScript file. This code was written for a specific implementation of late PostScript Level 1 Emerald imagesetters. It uses PostScript operators in effect at that time, and it assumes no screen filter is in place. The interaction of this code with current PostScript implementations and the ubiquitous screen filters is difficult to predict (see the

51. ACCU Reviews: Thinking In Postscript Reviewed by Sean Storey in C Vu 41 (Nov 1991). The postscript programming language can be very confusing to the novice since it uses Polish notation . http://www.accu.org/bookreviews/public/reviews/t/t001231.htm

Home Page Reviews Main Book Review Thinking in Postscript by Glenn Reid ISBN: Publisher: Addison-Wesley Pages: ?pp Price: Categories: printing graphics Reviewed by Sean Storey in C Vu 4-1 (Nov 1991) The Postscript programming language can be very confusing to the novice since it uses 'Polish notation'. (i.e. it is it is seemingly written upside down and back to front.) and although Postscript language devices such as printers, and more recently display systems (Next Computers) are becoming more commonplace in the office environment, the availability of books on Postscript programming is still limited. To this list you can now add "Thinking in Postscript". This book can perhaps be seen as an alternative to the "Blue" and "Green" books mentioned above, though considering the length of this book is only 180 pages excluding the appendices the book is trying to offer a perhaps more than it can deliver. However it is fair to say that the book is not aimed at the novice. The starting point for this book assumes a reasonable level of general programming experience, Glenn Reid sums up his ideal reader as someone who "...has written at least one program - from scratch - longer than 100 lines of code ( and gotten it to work correctly)... then modified the program for an additional 100 hours after it first started to work... and if you want to become a very good Postscript programmer". The book has fourteen chapters, the average length of each chapter being 10 - 15 pages. Each chapter opens with a brief overview of the material to be covered, and closes with a number of exercises that give the reader a fair appraisal of how well they have understood the material. (The example answers to these exercises are given in one of the appendices)

Postscript Programming Not only is PostScript is a way of storing images, but it's also a programming language, which means you can write directly in postscript using just any ascii text editor. PostScript images can be viewed with a viewer such as Ghostview. A few useful postscript links: A good list of key words: David Maxwell's Summary of all PostScript Commands A site which also includes another useful list of postscript operators: Peter Weingartner's First Guide to PostScript. My favourite collection of postscript links, including quite a lot of examples: Milan Vancura's list of postscript documentation on the web A useful postscript FAQ: Allen Braunsdorf's comp.lang.postscript FAQ v3.0 A book about postscript (interesting reading, though not so suitable as a quick reference): Glenn Reid's "Thinking in PostScript" A really comprehensive list of postscript commands plus more: MDWconsulting's postscript programming language guide A few examples: Click on the gif to download the postscript file, which gives an image something like the gif, but larger, and the size of the postscript file is far less than the gif file. These are just written for fun. Currently mostly just a few variants on the theme of Pascal's triangle, using three different methods.

Webmaster Feedback Volume Number: Issue Number: Column Tag: Cover Story Related Info: Quickdraw Print Manager The Postscript Programming Language A tutorial introduction to PostScript By Gregor Koomey, Albany, New York Note: Source code files accompanying article are located on MacTech CD-ROM or source code disks. This article is a tutorial introduction to PostScript programming in the Macintosh environment. We begin with a description of the context and form of the language, then ease into a practical explication of the concepts of the PostScript graphics and computational models (using examples that you are actually expected to type in and send to a printer or emulator), finishing up with a mild discussion of appropriate hardware and software (including books). A Little Context The Macintosh brought to the marketplace a user interface that defined everything as a raster graphic, including text. As such, it was fairly simple to introduce multiple typefaces for use in this WYSIWYG environment, each represented by a sequence of bitmap designs. Unfortunately, size constraints allow only a few screen and dot-matrix printer fonts to be stored as bitmaps on a floppy based system. If multiple sizes, or higher resolution printing are desired, too much disk space is required.

56. A First Guide To PostScript About this Document. This is meant to be a simple introduction to programming in the postscript page description language from Adobe. http://www.cs.indiana.edu/docproject/programming/postscript/postscript.html

This is the third edition of the First Guide to PostScript . It differs from the first and second in that a number of errors which people have brought to my attention have been fixed and a number of common reader questions have been addressed. Some more information on resources has also been added. It is my hope that this document is now stable and reasonably error-free. If you find an error, please send me e-mail and let me know. I can't promise that I'll fix it right away, but I will at least add it to my list of things to do. By the way, I wish to thank the many people who have written to point out errors in this document's predecessor. Many of the improvements are due to them. About this Document This is meant to be a simple introduction to programming in the PostScript page description language from Adobe . This document is not meant to be a comprehensive reference manual (although it does contain an index of some of PostScript's standard operators and a list of various errors ). There are far better reference books , if this is what you need. Instead, this is meant as an easily accessible on-line tutorial. It was written with the assumption that you have some experience programming and are familiar with concepts like arrays and variables.

Creating a Mirror Image Font Have you ever needed a mirror image of a symbol from the Zapf Dingbats font? Perhaps you've needed a hand or arrow pointing to the left rather than to the right. This Quick Tip demonstrates how to create a Zapf Dingbats Mirror font, in which each character is a mirror image of the corresponding character from the Zapf Dingbats font. Once you understand the process, you'll be able to use this same technique to create additional mirror fonts. Creating a Background Text Message Have you ever seen paper with the word "Confidential" printed diagonally in a large outline from the lower left corner to the upper right corner? Have you ever wished you could label your own documents "Preliminary", "Draft", "For Review Only", or with some similar message?

What is PostScript? PostScript is a programming language optimized for printing graphics and text (whether on paper, film, or CRT is immaterial). In the jargon of the day, it is a page description language . It was introduced by Adobe in 1985 and first (to my knowledge) appeared in the Apple LaserWriter. The main purpose of PostScript was to provide a convenient language in which to describe images in a device independent manner. This device independence means that the image is described without reference to any specific device features ( e.g. printer resolution) so that the same description could be used on any PostScript printer (say, a LaserWriter or a Linotron) without modification. In practice, some PostScript files do make assumptions about the target device (such as its resolution or the number of paper trays it has), but this is bad practice and limits portability. The language itself, which is typically interpreted, is stack-based in the same manner as an RPN calculator. A program pushes arguments to an operator onto a stack and then invokes the operator. Typically, the operator will have some result which is left at the top of the stack. As an example, let us say we want to multiply 12 and 134. We would use the following PostScript code: 12 134 mul The first two words '12' and '134' push the numbers 12 and 134 onto the stack.

Programming Language Semantics using Miranda Simon Thompson Technical Report 9-95*, University of Kent, Computing Laboratory, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK, May 1995. Abstract This paper explains the use of the functional programming language Miranda as a vehicle for describing the semantics of imperative programming languages. In particular we give a Miranda denotational description of a substantial subset of a Pascal-like language, describing a number of variants of the semantics, including parameter passing by value-result, dynamic binding of values to names and a simple semantics of jumps. We also give an executable operational semantics of our basic language, as well as a compiler for this language into a simple stack machine, which is itself modelled in Miranda.
