[comp.lang.postscript] color sampled images

johns@haggis.ccsf.caltech.edu (John Salmon) (03/08/91)

Is there any standard (or non-standard) way of defining a
color sampled image in postscript (I am referring to a color analog
of the "image" operator.  Not to [set|current][rgb|hsb]color.)

The "Red" book has a footnote on pg. 72 (sec. 4.7) which begins:
"At present, the PostScript language does not provide a way to
represent full color in a single image..."  The implication is that
maybe someday there will be such a mechanism.  What's the current
state of affairs?

Thanks,
