[comp.sys.mac.programmer] co-ord system in mac ps dumps???

tonyg@cs.uq.oz.au (Tony Gedge) (06/25/91)

I'm mucking around with doing tiling of macintosh generated postscript
dumps.  The problem I have is that being a postscript novice, I can't work
out how the Macintosh LaserPrep modifies the postscript translation matrix.

I've been using ghostscript for testing, but I haven't been able to reproduce
the same drawing enviroment.

What I want is a set of scale/translate/rotate commands which will set up the
same drawing conditions (wrt axes etc) as in a Mac Postscript Dump.

The dump is done in straight normal portrait mode an A4 paper with no options
set.

Thanx in advance,

Tony Gedge.
