class post-script-dc% : class?
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), 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).
