Postscript/

openps.pro

switch to postscript mode and define it

openps

openps[, namepsin], FILENAME=FILENAME, INFOWIDGET=INFOWIDGET, KEEPPFONT=KEEPPFONT, KEEP_PFONT=KEEP_PFONT, PORTRAIT=PORTRAIT, LANDSCAPE=LANDSCAPE, LIGHTNESS=LIGHTNESS, _extra=_extra

Parameters

namepsin        in optional

name of the postscript file. Extension '.ps' is added if missing. It will be stored in the psdir directory.

Keywords

FILENAME       

to define the name of the postscript file through a keyword rather than with nameps input argument (in this case the keyword can be pass through different routines via _EXTRA keyword).

INFOWIDGET       

If INFOWIDGET is present, it specifies a named variable into which the id of the widget giving informations about the postscript creation is stored as a long integer. This id is needed by close ps to kill the information widget.

KEEPPFONT       

same as keep_pfont

KEEP_PFONT       

activate to suppress the modification of !p.font (by default we force !p.font = 0 to make smaller postscripts)

PORTRAIT       

LANDSCAPE       

LIGHTNESS       

a scalar used to change the Lightness of the color palette to be able to adjust according to the printer we use, the media (paper or slide)... > 1 to get darker colors

_extra       

used to pass any keyword to device procedure.
