Is there any way of printing color bitmaps, i-e bitmaps with more than 2 colors. I have heard of something like colorimage, it sounds great, does it exist ? is it a standard function ? will it be a standard function ? (is it good english ?) . Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________________ Vincent SAMARCQ ILOG 2, avenue Gallieni BP 85 "Oh no ! Not again !" (D.

The colorimage operator (until recently) was found only in those printers that supported the Color extensions. With the advent of Level 2, all Level 2 printers will support the colorimage operator. The Level 2 version of the image operator also can produce color images. You can get a copy of the Color Extensions specification from our server (Color_Ext.ps) or see the image and colorimage operators in Chapter 8 of the PostScript Language Reference Manual, Second Edition. Carl 8-) --------------------------------- Server Info ------------------------------- The PS-File-Server is an automatic mail-response program. That means you mail it a request, and it mails back the response. It is not accessible via anonymous FTP. To get in touch with the server, send a message to the appropriate address, either: uucp: {sun,decwrl}!adobe!ps-file-server OR internet: ps-file-server@adobe.COM containing the word "help" in either the Subject: field or the message body. It will reply with a message on how to use the available services. There are many items available from the server; Documents (as PostScript files), program sources, Adobe Font Metrics files, PostScript Printer Description files, and other itmes. You might send a separate message containing the word "index" to save some time once you get the help message. The file server does not respond to requests from users named "root", "system", "daemon", or "mailer". This is to prevent mail loops from bounced messages. Note: If you do not receive help from the server within a day or so, it is probably because the server's mail to you has bounced. You can try again and use the "path" command within your message specifying a known return path that the server should use. For example: path pyramid!rutgers!zakkaroo!jj (substitute whatever address is appropriate) If you have any problems contacting the server, or you have any suggestions, please send a message to the moderator (ps-file-person@adobe.COM).
