While reading the excellent article on NeWS in SunTechnology Spring 1988 I wondered how one would go about getting a hard copy output of such a window? (The example draws a simple plot). I can think of two ways, but they seem very inelegant. 1. Use the Journaling feature. Somehow. Anyone have a example how? 2. Have all of the PostScript functions called from C with an option that either sends the postscript command to the server or to a file. Ideally it would be nice to have a pop-up menu for EACH window with the option PRINT, along with move, zap, open, resize, etc. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Let's face it, doing screendumps is a real printer hog. p.s. I have been using the postscript.el file that comes with the Gnuemacs/NeWS program, and it is a real nice way to preview a PostScript image. Just use Emacs to edit the *.ps file, and type Control-C Control-C. Diagram not quite right? Just edit the file and hit Control-C Control-C again. -- Bruce G.
