Netfolks, I am looking for a C function library to help me be more productive in producing 'spiffy' reports on a PostScript printer. The reports will be a combination of 2-D and 3-D bar charts (in color) with accompanying paragraphs of text. The C programs I will be replacing use custom C code to generate PostScript output. Too many nit-picking format details are sprinkled throughout the C code. (Example: determining how big a paragraph of text is so an appropriate size box can be placed around it.) Historically, creating one of these custom C programs took a considerable amount of time. Any ideas on how this process can be speeded up? I have heard about a C library called c_pslib, available from The Austin Works. Any comments on this package? Any others out there like it? Any comments of any kind? Regards, David dharper@hounix.org
