I am writing a postscript application that attempts to poster when a scene is too large to fit on a page. I tried using the algoritm described in the cookbook, but I found that when there were many objects in the scene the program failed to work. (It worked fine with one or two small objects, I also limited by objects to text types although images can also be supported). I think the reason I am having problems is that I am creating too large a procedure for the loops in the algorithm. I am thinking of implementing the code on the front end (the C code) and then keep send the objects to the printer each time through the loop i.e. re-send the ps file with the appropriate translations. This doesn't seem like such a great idea, does anyone have any software solutions I might use Thanks alot Ross
