Applying Postscript strokes
PostScript applies a stroke 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.
Note: PostScript programming is beyond the scope of this document. Refer to a Postscript language manual for more information.
To apply a PostScript stroke to a selected object:
1 |
In the Stroke 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. |
|
3 |
Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh) to apply the stroke.
