Applying PostScript fills

PostScript applies a fill with a unique pattern and shape that you create in the PostScript code entry text box. FreeHand sends the PostScript code to the PostScript Interpreter in your printer's Raster Image Processor (RIP). If your code is incorrect, you will receive a PostScript error message when printing.

PostScript fills do not appear on the monitor, but will appear when printed.

Note: PostScript programming is beyond the scope of this document. Refer to a Postscript language manual for more information.

To apply a PostScript fill to a selected object:

1

In the Fill inspector, choose Postscript from the list.

2

Enter up to 255 characters of code in the Postscript Code text box. You can type the code directly or paste it from another source.

Separate commands with a space, and allow them to wrap on their own.
