9.3.29: `postscript'

`postscript \string'

Write the indicated string to the PostScript output file, after substitution of synonyms if there are any. Example:

\a = "45" # angle \w = "8.5" # page width postscript gsave \w 72 mul 0 translate \a rotate # ... other code to do stuff postscript grestore

Here is how to draw an image palette vertically instead of horizontally:

\X = "3" # cm \Y = "10" # cm \a = "90" # degrees counterclockwise postscript gsave \X 28.35 mul \Y 28.35 mul translate \a rotate # Palette is at user's origin draw image palette box 0 0 10 1 postscript grestore

NOTE: the `postscript' command is very dangerous, and should normally only be used by developers. Most of the code concerning this is in the file `doline.cc'; look for the string `postscriptCmd' to find the relevant code.
