Hi,
I'm trying to include the output of a program called "sun2ps"
(converts Sun raster files to PostScript) in my troff source, and not
having much luck.
I have tried using the "psfig" program (along with the modified
psdit and psdit.pro), using "!PB" directly with psdit, and using the
macro recently posted by euteal!mart. I send the output to the
LaserWriter, the light blinks for a while, and then I get nothing, not
even a blank piece of paper. Other pages in the document without
figures on them come out fine.
The PostScript I'm trying to include looks like:
%!
/inch {72 mul} def
/bpp 1 def
/scanlines 900 def
/scansize 1152 def
/bitmapx
{ 1152 900 1 [1152 0 0 -900 0 900] {currentfile readrlehexstring pop } image
} def
gsave

I know only a little about PostScript. I do recall the psdit manual
page mentioning something about only being able to include "well
behaved" PostScript, but they didn't bother to define just what "well
behaved" means. Is the above doing something which would screw other
things up?
I'm so confused,
Dave Curry

The PostScript source should include a line of the format %%BoundingBox: a b c d where a, b, c and d are numbers. Furthermore, some special commands should not be present in the source. All this information *can* be found in the psfig documentation! -- -- ###### Jos Vos ###### Internet jos@idca.tds.philips.nl ###### -- ###### ###### UUCP ...!mcvax!philapd!jos ######
