#	file header and initializes the PostScript coordinate system.

############################################################################
#
#  This file is intended to contain procedures for writing PostScript
#  output explicitly, as contrasted with the procedures in psrecord.icn
#  that write PostScript as a side effect of normal graphics calls.
#  There is only one procedure at present.
#
#  epsheader(f, x, y, w, h, flags) aids the creation of an Encapsulated
#  PostScript file by writing a header.  An EPS file can either be
#  incorporated as part of a larger document or sent directly to a
#  PostScript printer.
#
#  Epsheader() writes the first portion of the PostScript output to file
#  f; the calling program then generates the rest.  It is the caller's
#  responsibility to ensure that the rest of the file conforms to the
#  requirements for EPS files as documented in the PostScript Reference
#  Manual, second edition.
#
#  (x,y,w,h) specify the range of coordinates that are to be used in the
#  generated PostScript code.  Epsheader() generates PostScript commands
#  that center this region on the page and clip anything outside it.
#
#  If the flags string contains the letter "r" and abs(w) > abs(h), the
#  coordinate system is rotated to place the region in "landscape" mode.
#
#  The generated header also defines an "inch" operator that can be used
#  for absolute measurements as shown in the example below.
# 
#  Usage example:
#
#	f := open(filename, "w") | stop("can't open ", filename)
#	epsheader(f, x, y, w, h)
#	write(f, ".07 inch setlinewidth")
#	write(f, x1, " ", y1, " moveto ", x2, " ", y2, " lineto stroke")
#	   ...
#	write(f, "showpage")
