In a bit more than a decade of occasional PostScript programming, I
have never needed to paint a bitmap image. For the first time, I do.

Are there standard routines for images in common formats (e.g., any of
PNG, GIF, JPG)? Rephrased, is there a standard snippet of PostScript
that my code can use to render a local file (e.g., example.png or
example.gif or example.jpg) onto the current page?

The image itself will probably start as JPG, but can be
GraphicConverter'd into any standard format. Further I understand that
the code might need to know a few things, such as the image size, but
I'm happy to add that 'manually'.

Thank you.
