[comp.lang.postscript] PS programming inquiry

doerschu@rex.cs.tulane.edu (Dave Doerschuk) (01/18/91)

I would like to write a utility that takes an existing postscript file
which descibes an image approximately 2" x 3" and duplicates that image,
filling an 8.5" x 11" sheet.  The idea is to have as many "copies" of
the original image as possible, filling the sheet.  Ideally, the utility
could resize the original image to a user-specified size before executing
the duplication routine.  I have purchased a set of the "multicolored"
books from Adobe, but would like to ask the net for guidance before
ploughing thru that much information.  I intend to write the utility itself
in C, although obviously the input and output will be in PostScript.
I would deeply appreciate advice from anyone who can give me direction on
this project, or can give me a pointer to an existing utility.  Such a
utility is rumoured to exist, but searching the simtel catalog and several
BBS's has not turned it up.

Thank you very much!
