@C1@c@b@_ PostScript Options
Set many options for PostScript output. The output PS file
is fully parameterized and editing the output is possible.
By default, the output routine will write a standard EPS
file with 1 screen pixel equal to about 0.75 PS point
(1PS point is defined to be 1/72th of an inch). The exact number
depends on the screen resolution and in all cases the output would
appear exactly the same size as the image looks on screen (if the
image is no larger than the paper size) and centered both horizontally
and vertically on the printed page. Text and sgfs will also be output
if present. Text by default is immune to scaling unless requested
otherwise.
It is strongly recommended to use autofit and autoscale because in
all case they produce the most reasonable output.
@b Interaction
@f PaperSize:
Select paper size from a list of common papers the destination printer
uses. Note that page size can easily be changed in PS file.
@f Landscape
Output the image rotated 90 degrees.
@f Portrait
Output as it is.
@f AutoFit
Choose one of the two above automatically for the best fit.
The criterion is to avoid scaling if possible and to keep
margins on all sides as close as possible.
@f Xscale, Yscale
shrink or expand the image. A scale of 0.30 approximately
matches 1 screen pixel to 1 printer dot.
Note that changing xscale changes yscale, but changing yscale
does not affect xscale.
The resulting printed size is updated whenever it changes. And
it turns into red when the printed image would be larger than
paper size.
@f Autoscale
Applies only if the image is larger than page size and in that case
the image is scaled to (just) fit the page.
@f Textscale
By default, text is output in its original size and not subject
to scaling. Toggle this flag to override the default. Note that
the scaled text size will not be less than about 4pt.
@f ScrnSize
Toggle this flag off to suppressing screen size matching. When
this flag is off, 1 pixel is taken to be 1 PS point, which will
result in the printed image to be about 40% larger than it looks on
screen. For images larger than the paper size (looks on screen),
this flag has no effect.
@f OK
Take the current options
@f Cancel
Restore the default
@s@b Bugs:
If text is present, font encoding is explicitly switched to ISOLatin1
for special symbols (non-math). If PS printer is level 1, switching
has no effects.
