I am unfamiliar with the details of postscript, and I have a
simple question for the postscript experts out there. How does
display postscript handle digitalized images? Does the system
give a bitmap to the postscript "engine" to display or does the
system use another format? In particular, what are the typical
disk storage requirements of arbitrary digitized images?
Furthermore, what types (if any) of compaction mechanisms are used?
I bring this question to light in view of the use of postscript
on the NeXT machine. How much disk storage space is needed to
store NeXT graphic images?
