I need to create compact/fast PostScript illustrations for a PM
application's documentation.
 
Is there a way to capture a high-level description of a PM
screen? I know that there are numerous screen-capture programs
that take a snapshot of the bitmap (I currently use one), but
this is huge and takes forever to print as an included
illustration in PostScript.  I'd rather have a high-level
description such as what one would get when writing to a
PostScript printer's presentation space. PM looks like it could
almost do this, if one could slide the printer driver between
the desktop and the video driver and force a screen repaint,
but there are just enough differences between the presentation
spaces to cause trouble, and I know of no way to intercept the
graphics calls from the applications and redirect them to the
printer driver.
