Excerpts from internet.info-andrew: 17-May-91 Importing PostScript Mark

> 1. Ability to import PostScript.
This is straight-forward, though it could certainly be made less klunky.
here is an example:
.ne 1.9i
'PB 432 80
'if \n(zT \{\
\!%!
\! 432 troffadjust 80 neg translate
\!
\! %%%%%%%%%%The postscript embedment comes after this.
\!
\! 0 0 moveto 72 0 lineto 72 72 lineto stroke
\!
\! %%%%%%%%%%Embedment ends before here.
\!\}
'PE 432 80
Figure 1. Draw the bottom and right of a one inch cube. The
space for this image is 432 PostScript points wide and 80 high.
The 1.9 in the .ne leaves room for this caption as well.
The PB and PE macros are part of the standard tmac.atk. They work by
breaking the line into two separately composed sublines, so things don't
work too well if there are multiple images on a line or if the image
comes near the margin. Incidentally, giving the whole thing the style
RightFlush or Centrered will make the image have that justification;
that is the purpose of the troffadjust line.
