    *  It depends what you want to draw.
    *  I've written programs both for:

    *  1. drawing a picture which is to be viewed later and  2.
    *  drawing a picture which is to be viewed while the program's
    *  running

    *  I can email sample code to anyone who is interested in this
    *  stuff.  Basically, however, it's just a matter of sending
    *  PostScript commands either:
    *  1. to a file or 2. to GhostScript, using the "flushpage"
    *  command to force the screen to be updated
    *  And this means that you have to know PostScript programming.
    *  If there were some library calls, there would be a very
    *  simple mapping to PostScript, so you either learn the
    *  library or you learn PostScript.
    *  Learning some simple PostScript is not hard.

    *        psline(x1, y1, x2, y2)
    *        printf("%d %d moveto %d %d lineto stroke\n", x1, y1, x2, y2);

          <<<<<  Stuff Deleted  >>>>
The list of library calls presented here bears a passing resemblance
to the client side library of Display PostScript.

But apart from that, the October 1989 issue of EPODD* contains an
article titled ``INSCRIPT -- A C like preprocesor for POSTSCRIPT''.
The article is by Jacob Gonczarowski and On G. Paradise.  Jacob
Gonczarowski is or was at Typographics, Jerusalem, and On G. Paradise
is or was at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
