     PSLIB(2)                                                 PSLIB(2)

     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 ren-
          dered.

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

          There should be many more useful functions in this module.
