Actually, this is what I had in mind for implemented an ATK version of
apostscript previewer.  It would use ghostscript to render the
postscript in awindow, but otherwise would provide an ATK interface
consistent with ez.  Ifthe X server supports display postscript, that
can be used instead.

Let me clarify my comments about a postscript graphics class.  What I
wouldlike is a class that could render a drawing in some kind of
abstract ``page''(not necessarily a full page) much like graphic renders
bits in a window. Then my inset can generate a rectanglar drawing that
the text in which it isembedded can put somewhere in its physical output
page.  A postscriptimplementation would probably use encapsulated
postscript to do this. However, it could be subclassed for other
implementations (HPGL for example)as graphic could have different
implementations.  It could also be subclassedto produce conversions to
other document formats (Framemaker, TeX, etc)provided the function is
high level.
