PostScript::Simple ================== INTRODUCTION PostScript::Simple allows you to have a simple method of writing PostScript files from Perl. It has several graphics primitives that allow lines, circles, polygons and boxes to be drawn. Text can be added to the page using standard PostScript fonts. It is named PostScript::Simple because it is intended to be simple to use to generate PostScript pages from Perl, not because it is a simplified interface for some other module, or can't do advanced things. Features include: Generation of multi-page PostScript files Generation of single-page EPS files Creating lines/circles etc. Rectangles and boxes Text Colour Pre-defined paper sizes Etc. etc. The file examples/example.pl provides some bad examples of what this module does.
