My original plan was to read PostScript, but soon we found that it's a full programming language and you can't just parse it, you need to interpretate it, so we gave up and went to PDF instead.
Having said that, I think that writing PostScript should be easier then reading, because you don't need to use all feature, just the minimum necessary, while when reading you need to test with the output of multiple softwares which will use all different parts of the specification (I tested PDF reading against CorelDraw and Inkscape). No, I don't know any other way to achieve what you want except for the following options: * Rethink your application. Do you really need PostScript output? * Write yourself a import module for PostScript for fpvectorial * Pay someone to do it (you can try here http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Bounties or in rent-a-coder) * Write manually code to write PostScript without using fpvectorial. I think it will have a worse result then writing an import module for fpvectorial. * Find a C library which does this and translate the headers. I am willing to write the import module for a fair price. If you are interrested, please contact me in private. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
