  11. There's no direct support for PostScript in X-Icon, but the library packages
  12. "psrecord" and "autopost" may be useful under some circumstances.
  13.  
  14. "psrecord" intercepts calls to XDrawRectangle, XFillArc, etc., and writes
  15. copies of those commands to a PostScript file; not all X-Icon primitives
  16. are handled, though.
  17.  
  18. "autopost" provides a way to slip "psrecord" into an arbitrary Icon program
  19. without modifying the program.
