| | PostScript - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Prior to the introduction of PostScript, printers were designed to print character output given the text—typically in ASCII—as input. | | | The concepts of the PostScript language were seeded in 1976 when John Warnock was working at Evans and Sutherland, a famous computer graphics company. | | | It prints PostScript documents on non-PostScript printers using the CPU of the host computer to do the rasterization, sending the result as a single large bitmap to the printer. |

| | PostScript Tutorial |
| | Postscript files are (generally) plain text files and as such they can easily be generated by hand or as the output of user written programs. | | | Postscript is a programming language that was designed to specify the layout of the printed page. | | | This is so that spoolers and other printing software detect that the file is to interpreted as postscript instead of a plain text file. |

| | The history of PostScript |
| | The history of PostScript starts at Parc, the research institute of Xerox, where many of the computer technologies we now take for granted were developed: the laser printer, the graphical user interface and ethernet are some prime examples. | | | PostScript was a pretty big gamble for Adobe and they might have failed to convince the market of its value if it hadn't been for Steve Jobs from Apple Computer. | | | Adobe fixed all of this by improving the memory management of its code and by optimizing the code. |

| | Encapsulated PostScript - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | By placing the PostScript in the data fork and a standard Mac PICT resource in the resource fork, both images could be moved about together invisibily as if they were one file. | | | This has become possible with the increased processing power of modern computers; when EPS was first designed this would have either have been beyond the abilities of the typical computer, or too slow to have been acceptable. | | | Both of these PC format EPS files have a particular disadvantage: because the PostScript data, header and preview are all in the same file, they will cause printing errors if a program does not understand the format well enough to extract only the PostScript data. |

| | PostScript is a Computer Programming Language and a Page Description Language. | | | PostScript describes document pages in mathematical expressions, and in it's purest forms, describes the fonts, pages, and resources in a document as completely independent procedures, which can be extracted and used by other PostScript files or by programs that manipulate PostScript pages (sometimes referred to as Imposition Programs. | | | You can of course create PostScript by learning it's operators and programming a document, but, as the main desktop operating systems provide drivers for PostScript printers, it is easier to set up such a print driver and print to it. |

| | PostScript Output |
| | PostScript was designed and developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated; it began to be used by the general public in the mid 1980s. | | | The relevance of this value for PostScript output from NCAR GKS is the size of the output files that contain numerous filled areas. | | | This revision is known as "PostScript Level 2." One of the major additions to the PostScript language was an operator to allow for display of color images, rather than just grayscale images as in PostScript Level 1. |

| | PostScript is a programming language optimized for printing graphics and text (whether on paper, film, or CRT is immaterial). | | | The main purpose of PostScript was to provide a convenient language in which to describe images in a device independent manner. | | | In practice, some PostScript files do make assumptions about the target device (such as its resolution or the number of paper trays it has), but this is bad practice and limits portability. |
