NAME¶
PS_place_image — Places image on the page
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <pslib.h>
void PS_place_image(PSDoc *psdoc, int imageid, float x, float y, float scale)
DESCRIPTION¶
Places a formerly loaded image at the current point on the page. The image is
scaled if
x and
y have values unequal to 1.
The image data is ascii85 encoding which is only 20 percent larger than the raw
binary data of the image (The binary data is not equal to the file size but
somewhat smaller, because the file also contains an image header.). You can
turn on hex encoding by setting the parameter `imageencoding' to `hex'. Hex
encoding doubles the size of the image data.
Since version 0.4.5 of pslib images are fully read and saved into the output
postscript file when they are opened with
PS_open_image(3) or
PS_open_image_file(3). Later calls of
PS_place_image(3) just
replay the image. This behaviour can be turned off by setting the parameter
`imagereuse' to false with
PS_set_parameter(3).
If image reuse is not turned of, this function may be called within a template.
