[comp.sys.sgi] psview for .ps images

murthy@utkcs2.cs.utk.edu (Nagesh Murthy) (07/27/90)

Has anybody attempted to use psview on a .ps image file. I mean a .rgb file
converted to .ps image file. Some how when I say "psview <filename>.ps" it
opens the psview window with nothing in it. I can print the same .ps file
on a apple laser printer though.

Any useful advice?

Thanking in advance.

I had probelms also viewing .ps images with psview. Talking with Paul Haeberli,
he suggested using psh.

It worked, but you can't move the image around.

   Under 3.2 psview's image related commands (as well as others) don't
work.  I haven't check 3.3 to see if it has been fixed yet.  I think
part of the problem is that the transformation matrix function doesn't
work.
