- convert a one page EPS file to an Iris image (fromeps);
- convert a PostScript file into a series of IRIS images (fromps);
- using a PS interpreter to render each word, convert words into .gif files (htmltext);
- transmute b/w img to a PS path, then generate showpage cmd on output (imgtops);
- emulate a 132 column line-printer that generates PostScript output (lptops);
- print square array of pages ("readable" factors: 2-3) on single page (multiprint);
- make an array of a set of EPS files (psarray);
take one or more PostScript documents with page structuring conventions and
- generate 2 or 4 page signatures on laser printer (psbook);
- output PS that prints pages reduced in size and arrayed in x and y (psnup);
- insert transformations to adjust offset and scale of documents (psfold);
- print a calendar for one month using a specified image file (pscal);
- concatenate a series of PostScript files for book generation (pscat);
- delete image objects data from a PostScript file (psdeimg);
- convert carriage returns (cr) to newlines (nl) in a PostScript file (psnl);
- make a calibration pattern for use with mkwarp and unwarp (pspattern);
- generate PS doc of an SGI image file with text of dimensions in pixels (pspic);
- quantize an RGB image into PostScript shapes (psquant);
- print CMYK test scales that can be used to calibrate printers (psscale);
- generate smooth shaded triangles in PostScript (psshade);
- print an image on transparency material to make a slide (psslide);
- take 1-page PS doc, and generate a 2-D array of copies on the output page (pstile);
- convert multipage PS file into series of separate EPS files, one per page (pstoeps);
- and/or display a PS file on the screen with this ultra-simple previewer (psview);
- there are also PostScript-based modules in src/haeberli/libgutil/ including:
- path.c: creation of PostScript stroked/filled/beveled paths support
- psimg.c: convert image data into b/w or color PostScript
- pstri.c: PostScript support for drawing lines, and shaded triangles
- setscreen.c: PostScript style halftoning stuff
