Guide to developing programming techniques and to learning
how to use the PostScript tool kit. In this book you can find
some useful techniques even if you think of yourself as an
expert PS programmer. It overlaps very little with existing
material. You can find there numerous practical examples in all
areas of PS language programming, including the Display PS
system. In this volume you will also find: (a) never-before-
published information on the PS language (b) useful algorithms
for loops, conditionals, and I/O (c) detailed coverage of files,
strings, and dictionaries (d) simple and elegant programming
techniques
The books comes recommended by many. There are also exercises
after each Chapter with the results at the end of the book. You
can really find examples how to define new useful operators or
procedures which you cannot find in the Adobe books.
