Backcover Copy

PostScript by Example is packed with 500 examples and 700 pictures to help users and programmers at all levels become knowledgeable in PostScript--the industry-standard page-description language developed by Adobe Systems Inc.

Loaded with hands-on exercises and step-by-step instructions, this book covers two broad areas. You will start with the basic concept of PostScript--graphics, text, and language. Then continue with "build-it-yourself" PostScript tools to construct fonts, patterns, forms, and manage your printing environment.

Henry McGilton and Mary Campione provide invaluable information for both beginning and experienced PostScript users on how to:

  • Lay foundations of the PostScript painting model--paths, graphic states, text, clipping, transformations, arcs, curves, and images
  • Understand PostScript Level 2 patterns, forms, images, composite fonts, halftones, and color models.
  • Construct error handlers, download fonts and PostScript programs, and understand Encapsulated PostScript.
The most comprehensive hands-on PostScript guide ever, PostScript by Example is your toolkit for building effective PostScript programs.
