NAME¶
Games::Go::Dg2TkPs - Perl extension to convert Games::Go::Diagrams to
Postscript.
SYNOPSIS¶
use Games::Go::Dg2TkPs
my $dg2ps = B<Games::Go::Dg2TkPs-E<gt>new> (options);
my $canvas = $dg2ps->convertDiagram($diagram);
DESCRIPTION¶
This is a real hack to get PostScript output from the Dg2Tk converter. All it
does is use the built-in PostScript that a Tk::Canvas widget provides to
convert the Dg2Tk canvas pages to PostScript. The resulting PostScript is
fairly crude because the Canvas that it is drawn from is crude to begin with.
See Games::Go::Dg2Ps for a better PostScript converter.
A Games::Go::Dg2TkPs inherits from Games::Go::Dg2Tk, and uses all its methods
and options. The main difference is that after conversion to Tk is complete,
each diagram Tk::Canvas is converted to PostScript via the
Tk::Canvas->postscript method. Some minor massaging of the PostScript
source is done to string the canvas pages together.
METHODS¶
See Dg2Tk for the usual Dg2* conversion methods.
- $dg2ps->comment ($comment ? , ... ?)
- Inserts comments into the PostScript source code. Note that since the
PostScript is generated after the diagrams are all constructed by
Dg2Tk, comments are likely to be out of order - they will all be at the
head of the PostScript file.
- $dg2ps->configure (option => value, ?...?)
- Grabs 'file' configuration option, passes all other requests to
Dg2Tk.
- $dg2ps->close
- Converts each diagram Tk::Canvas in the Dg2Tk NoteBook to PostScript via
the Tk::Canvas->postscript method.

BUGS¶
The output is pretty ugly. Oh well, what can one expect from such a simple hack?
