I have a PostScript file of a color image that I would like to have
printed in landscape format instead of portrait format. It currently
prints in portrait format without problems. To change to landscape, I
inserted the following at the top of the file after Initgraphics:
90 rotate
0 -8.5 inch translate
Unfortunately, after making this change, nothing comes out of the printer.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Please reply to me at: jrh@techctr.deere.com
or follow up with another post.
Thanks.
John
The version that works looks like:
initgraphics
/rstr 585 string def
/gstr 585 string def
/bstr 585 string def
45.000000 567.000000 translate
702.000000 -522.000000 scale
1.000000 1.000000 scale
585 435 8
[585 0 0 -435 0 435]
{currentfile rstr readhexstring pop} %read red data from file
{currentfile gstr readhexstring pop} %read green data from file
{currentfile bstr readhexstring pop} %blue red data from file
true 3
colorimage
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
etc, etc, etc
