superclass: object%

extends: | dc<%>

A post-script-dc% object is a PostScript device context, that can write PostScript files on any platform. See also ps-setup% and pdf-dc%.

Be sure to use the following methods to start/end drawing:

- start-doc

- start-page

- end-page

- end-doc

Attempts to use a drawing method outside of an active page raises an exception.

See also printer-dc%.

If interactive is true, the user is given a dialog for setting printing parameters (see get-ps-setup-from-user); the resulting configuration is installed as the current configuration). If the user chooses to print to a file (the only possibility on Windows and Mac OS X), another dialog is given to select the filename. If the user hits cancel in either of these dialogs, then ok? returns #f.

If parent is not #f, it is used as the parent window of the configuration dialog.

If interactive is #f, then the settings returned by current-ps-setup are used. A file dialog is still presented to the user if the get-file method returns #f and output is #f, and the user may hit Cancel in that case so that ok? returns #f.

If use-paper-bbox is #f, then the PostScript bounding box for the output is determined by width and height (which are rounded upward using ceiling). If use-paper-bbox is not #f, then the bounding box is determined by the current paper size (as specified by current-ps-setup). When width or height is #f, then the corresponding dimension is determined by the paper size, even if use-paper-bbox is #f.

If as-eps is #f, then the generated PostScript does not include an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) header, and instead includes a generic PostScript header. The margin and translation factors specified by current-ps-setup are used only when as-eps is #f. If as-eps is true, then the generated PostScript includes a header that identifiers it as EPS.

When output is not #f, then file-mode output is written to output. If output is #f, then the destination is determined via current-ps-setup or by prompting the user for a pathname. When output is a port, then data is written to port by a thread that is created with the post-script-dc% instance; in case that writing thread’s custodian is shut down, calling end-doc resumes the port-writing thread with thread-resume and (current-thread) as the second argument.

See also ps-setup% and current-ps-setup. The settings for a particular post-script-dc% object are fixed to the values in the current configuration when the object is created (after the user has interactively adjusted them when interactive is true).
