NAME¶
PS_begin_template — Starts a new template
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <pslib.h>
int PS_begin_template(PSDoc *psdoc, float width, float height)
DESCRIPTION¶
Starts a new template which must be ended by
PS_end_template(3).
Templates are similar to macros which can be placed on a page like images.
Within a template one can call any drawing function. Once a template has been
ended by
PS_end_template(3) it can be placed on a page by
PS_place_image(3). Templates are commonly used for repeating objects
like page headers in order to minimize the document size.
If image reuse is not turned off (since version 0.4.5 of pslib it is always
turned on),
PS_place_image(3) may also be called within a template
in order to include eps or raster images.
RETURN VALUE¶
Returns an id for referencing the template.
