This rather long section describes the advantages of using Dvips, and may be skipped if you are just interested in learning how to use the program. See <a href="#Installation">Installation</a>, for details of compilation and installation. </p> <p>The Dvips driver generates excellent, standard PostScript, that can be included in other documents as figures or printed through a variety of spoolers. The generated PostScript requires very little printer memory, so very complex documents with a lot of fonts can easily be printed even on PostScript printers without much memory, such as the original Apple LaserWriter. The PostScript output is also compact, requiring less disk space to store and making it feasible as a transfer format. </p> <p>Even those documents that are too complex to print in their entirety on a particular printer can be printed, since Dvips will automatically split such documents into pieces, reclaiming the printer memory between each piece. </p> <p>The Dvips program supports graphics in a natural way, allowing PostScript graphics to be included and automatically scaled and positioned in a variety of ways. </p> <p>Printers with any resolution are supported, even if they have different resolutions in the horizontal and vertical directions. High resolution output is supported for typesetters, including an option that compresses the bitmap fonts so that typesetter virtual memory is not exhausted. This option also significantly reduces the size of the PostScript file and decoding in the printer is very fast. </p> <p>Missing fonts can be automatically generated if Metafont exists on the system, or fonts can be converted from GF to PK format on demand. If a font cannot be generated, a scaled version of the same font at a different size can be used instead, although Dvips will complain loudly about the poor aesthetics of the resulting output. </p> <p>One of the most important features is the support of virtual fonts, which add an entirely new level of flexibility to TeX. Dvips even comes with its own Afm2tfm program that can create the virtual fonts and TeX font metric files automatically from Adobe font metric files. </p> <p>Source is provided and freely distributable, so adding a site-specific feature is possible. Adding such features is made easier by the highly modular structure of the program. </p> <span id="index-Rokicki_002c-Tomas"></span> <p>Tom Rokicki wrote and maintains the original Dvips program. </p> <hr> <span id="Installation"></span><div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="#Invoking-Dvips" accesskey="n" rel="next">Invoking Dvips</a>, Previous: <a href="#Why-Dvips" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Why Dvips</a>, Up: <a href="#Top" accesskey="u" rel="up">Top</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="Installation-1"></span><h2 class="chapter">2 Installation</h2> <span id="index-configuration_002c-of-Dvips"></span> <span id="index-compilation"></span> <span id="index-installation_002c-of-Dvips"></span> <p>Installing Dvips is mostly the same as installing any Kpathsea-using program.

Practically any file sent to a PostScript laser printer should generate some output, at the very least a page detailing what error occurred, if any. Talk to your system administrator about downloading a PostScript error handler.

Even then it should generate an error message. Dvips tries to work around as many bugs as possible in common non-Adobe PostScript interpreters, but doubtless it misses a few. PowerPage Revision 1, Interpreter Version 20001.001, on a Mitsubishi Shinko CHC-S446i color thermal dye sublimation printer is known to be unable to print with any but builtin fonts. </p> <p>If Dvips gives any strange error messages, or compilation on your machine generated a lot of warnings, perhaps the Dvips program itself is broken. Try using the debug options to determine where the error occurred (see <a href="#Debug-options">Debug options</a>). </p> <p>It is possible your spooler is broken and is misinterpreting the structured comments.

You can force Dvips to do this with the ‘<samp>-F</samp>’ flag (or ‘<samp>F</samp>’ config file option), but this generates files with a terminating binary character (control-D).

One of the most common error messages is ‘<samp>bop undefined</samp>’. This is caused by old versions of Transcript and other spoolers that do not properly parse the setup section of the PostScript. To fix this, turn off structured comments with the ‘<samp>-N</samp>’ option, but it’d be best to get your spooling software updated. </p> <span id="index-VM-exhausted"></span> <span id="index-printer-memory-exhausted"></span> <span id="index-memory-of-printer-exhausted"></span> <p>Another error message is ‘<samp>VM exhausted</samp>’. Some printers indicate this error by locking up, others quietly reset. This is caused by Dvips thinking that the printer has more memory than it actually does, and then printing a complicated document. To fix this, try lowering the ‘<samp>m</samp>’ parameter in the configuration file; use the debug option to make sure you adjust the correct file. </p> <p>Other errors may indicate you are trying to include graphics that don’t nest properly in other PostScript documents, among other things. Try the PostScript file on a QMS PS-810 or other Adobe PostScript printer if you have one, or Ghostscript (see <a href="#Ghostscript-installation">Ghostscript installation</a>); it might be a problem with the printer itself. </p> <hr> <span id="Long-documents-fail"></span><div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="#Including-graphics-fails" accesskey="n" rel="next">Including graphics fails</a>, Previous: <a href="#Printer-errors" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Printer errors</a>, Up: <a href="#Diagnosing-problems" accesskey="u" rel="up">Diagnosing problems</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="Long-documents-fail-to-print"></span><h4 class="subsection">2.4.5 Long documents fail to print</h4> <span id="index-long-documents-not-printing"></span> <span id="index-failure_002c-of-long-documents"></span> <p>This is usually caused by incorrectly specifying the amount of memory the printer has in the configuration file; see the previous section. </p> <hr> <span id="Including-graphics-fails"></span><div class="header"> <p> Previous: <a href="#Long-documents-fail" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Long documents fail</a>, Up: <a href="#Diagnosing-problems" accesskey="u" rel="up">Diagnosing problems</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="Including-graphics-fails-1"></span><h4 class="subsection">2.4.6 Including graphics fails</h4> <span id="index-including-graphics-fails"></span> <span id="index-graphics-inclusion-fails"></span> <span id="index-failure_002c-to-include-graphics"></span> <p>The most common problem with including graphics is an incorrect bounding box (see <a href="#Bounding-box">Bounding box</a>).

This might be necessary if the PostScript spooling software does not read the structured comments correctly.

For instance, you may want to design a document that has the long edge of the paper horizontal. This can be useful when typesetting booklets, brochures, complex tables, or many other documents. This type of paper orientation is called <em>landscape</em> orientation (the default orientation is called <em>portrait</em>). Alternatively, a document might be designed for ledger or A3 paper. </p> <p>Since the intended paper size in these cases is a document design decision, not a printing decision, such information should be given in the TeX file and not on the Dvips command line. For this reason, Dvips supports a ‘<samp>papersize</samp>’ special. It is hoped that this special will become standard over time for TeX previewers and other printer drivers. </p> <p>Some LaTeX packages, e.g., ‘<samp>hyperref.sty</samp>’, write a ‘<samp>papersize</samp>’ special into the DVI file.

The first ‘<samp>@</samp>’ command defines the default paper size. It has three possible parameters: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@ <span class="roman">[</span><var>name</var> <span class="roman">[</span><var>hsize</var> <var>vsize</var><span class="roman">]]</span> </pre></div> <p>If ‘<samp>@</samp>’ is specified on a line by itself, with no parameters, it instructs Dvips to discard all previous paper size information (possibly from another configuration file). </p> <p>If three parameters are given, with the first parameter being a name and the second and third being a dimension (as in ‘<samp>8.5in</samp>’ or ‘<samp>3.2cc</samp>’, just like in the ‘<samp>papersize</samp>’ special), then the option is interpreted as starting a new paper size description, where <var>name</var> is the name and <var>hsize</var> and <var>vsize</var> define the horizontal and vertical size of the sheet of paper, respectively. For example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@ letterSize 8.5in 11in </pre></div> <p>If both <var>hsize</var> and <var>vsize</var> are zero (you must still specify units!) then any page size will match. If the ‘<samp>@</samp>’ character is immediately followed by a ‘<samp>+</samp>’ sign, then the remainder of the line (after skipping any leading blanks) is treated as PostScript code to send to the printer, presumably to select that particular paper size: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@ letter 8.5in 11in @+ %%BeginPaperSize: Letter @+ letter @+ %%EndPaperSize </pre></div> <p>After all that, if the first character of the line is an exclamation point, then the line is put in the initial comments section of the final output file; else, it is put in the setup section of the output file. For example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@ legal 8.5in 14in @+ ! %%DocumentPaperSizes: Legal @+ %%BeginPaperSize: Legal @+ legal @+ %%EndPaperSize </pre></div> <p>When Dvips has a paper format name given on the command line, it looks for a match by the <var>name</var>; when it has a ‘<samp>papersize</samp>’ special, it looks for a match by dimensions. The best match found (from the paper size information in the configuration file) is used. The dimensions must match within 5bp. </p> <p>If nothing matches, a warning is printed and the first paper size with zero dimensions is used; this should be the <code>unknown</code> paper size definition mentioned below, resulting in the actual dimensions being used. </p> <p>Landscape mode for all paper sizes is automatically supported. </p> <p>If your printer has a command to set a special paper size, then give dimensions of ‘<samp>0in 0in</samp>’; the PostScript code that sets the paper size can refer to the dimensions the user requested as ‘<samp>hsize</samp>’ and ‘<samp>vsize</samp>’; these will be macros defined in the PostScript that return the requested size in default PostScript units. Also, some printers want ‘<samp>BeginPaperSize</samp>’ comments and paper size setting commands; others (such as the NeXT) want ‘<samp>PaperSize</samp>’ comments and they will handle setting the paper size. So paper size entries should typically specify both. </p> <span id="index-unknown_002c-paper-format-for-_002dt-1"></span> <p>When using a paper size that is not already defined in <samp>config.ps</samp>, you probably want to say ‘<samp>-t unknown</samp>’ on the command line; the <code>unknown</code> paper size definition in <samp>config.ps</samp> has the requisite PostScript incantation to set the PostScript page size, as just described. </p> <span id="index-nopaper_002c-paper-format-for-_002dt"></span> <p>If you want no paper size information in the output at all, use ‘<samp>-t nopaper</samp>’. This is useful with multi-page output that will be processed further. If you just have a single page document, you can use ‘<samp>-E</samp>’ to get pure EPSF output. </p> <span id="index-mkdvipspapers"></span> <p>The Perl 5 script <samp>contrib/configs/mkdvipspapers</samp> in the distribution directory may help in determining appropriate paper size definitions. </p> <span id="index-config_002eps-paper-sizes"></span> <span id="index-letter-paper-size"></span> <span id="index-a4-paper-size"></span> <p>Notwithstanding the above, the default <code>letter</code> and <code>a4</code> paper size definitions in <samp>config.ps</samp> execute the <code>setpagedevice</code> operator if it exists (it was defined in PostScript Level 2), or the ‘<samp>letter</samp>’ or ‘<samp>a4</samp>’ operator if they exist (they are nonstandard and thus perhaps cause failures on certain (unknown) printers).

If the file contains instead a line like </p> <span id="index-atend_002c-bounding-box-specification"></span> <span id="index-_0028atend_0029_002c-bounding-box-specification"></span> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">%%BoundingBox: (atend) </pre></div> <p>the file is still probably Encapsulated PostScript, but the bounding box is given at the end of the file. Dvips needs it at the beginning. You can move it with that same text editor, or a simple script. (The bounding box is given in this way when the program that generated the PostScript couldn’t know the size in advance, or was too lazy to compute it.) </p> <span id="index-bbfig"></span> <span id="index-bounding-box_002c-determining"></span> <p>If the document lacks a ‘<samp>%%BoundingBox:</samp>’ altogether, you can determine one in a couple of ways. One is to use the ‘<samp>bbfig</samp>’ program distributed with Dvips in the <samp>contrib</samp> directory. This can usually find the correct bounding box automatically; it works best with Ghostscript. </p> <span id="index-612-792-bounding-box-size"></span> <p>If the comment looks like this: </p><div class="example"> <pre class="example">%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792 </pre></div> <p>the graphic claims to take up an entire sheet of paper. This is usually a symptom of a bug in the program that generated it. </p> <p>The other is to do it yourself: print the file. Now, take a ruler, and make the following measurements (in PostScript units, so measure in inches and multiply by 72): From the left edge of the paper to the leftmost mark on the paper is <var>llx</var>, the first number. From the bottom edge of the paper to the bottommost mark on the paper is <var>lly</var>, the second number. From the left edge of the paper to the rightmost mark on the paper is <var>urx</var>, the third number. The fourth and final number, <var>ury</var>, is the distance from the bottom of the page to the uppermost mark on the paper. </p> <p>Once you have the numbers, add a comment of the following form as the second line of the document. (The first line should already be a line starting with the two characters ‘<samp>%!</samp>’; if it is not, the file probably isn’t PostScript.) </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">%%BoundingBox: <var>llx</var> <var>lly</var> <var>urx</var> <var>ury</var> </pre></div> <p>Or, if you don’t want to modify the file, you can simply write these numbers down in a convenient place and give them in your TeX document when you import the graphic, as described in the next section. </p> <p>If the document does not have such a bounding box, or if the bounding box is given at the end of the document, or the bounding box is wrong, please complain to the authors of the software package that generated the file. </p> <hr> <span id="g_t_005cincludegraphics"></span><div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="#EPSF-macros" accesskey="n" rel="next">EPSF macros</a>, Previous: <a href="#Bounding-box" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Bounding box</a>, Up: <a href="#PostScript-figures" accesskey="u" rel="up">PostScript figures</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="The-_005cincludegraphics-macro-for-LaTeX"></span><h4 class="subsection">5.1.2 The \includegraphics macro for LaTeX</h4> <span id="index-_005cincludegraphics-LaTeX-macro"></span> <span id="index-macros-for-epsf-inclusion"></span> <p>Once the figure file has a bounding box comment (see the previous section) you are ready to import the graphic into a LaTeX document.

The Dvips program provides support for this with the ‘<samp>header</samp>’ <code>\special</code>. For instance, to ensure that <samp>foo.ps</samp> gets downloaded: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">\special{header=foo.ps} </pre></div> <span id="index-fonts_002c-as-header-files"></span> <p>As another example, if you have some PostScript code that uses a PostScript font not built into your printer, you must download it to the printer. If the font isn’t used elsewhere in the document, Dvips can’t know you’ve used it, so you must include it in the same way, as in: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">\special{header=putr.pfa} </pre></div> <p>to include the font definition file for Adobe Utopia Roman. </p> <p>The <code>header</code> also special allows for specifying some additional code that should be inserted into the PostScript document before and after the file itself, as follows: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">\special{header={foo.ps} pre={pre code} post={post code}} </pre></div> <span id="index-before-header_002c-inserting-code"></span> <span id="index-after-header_002c-inserting-code"></span> <span id="index-pre-code-before-headers"></span> <span id="index-post-code-after-headers"></span> <p>This will insert <code>pre code</code> just before <samp>foo.ps</samp> and <code>post code</code> just after. It is required to use the (balanced) braces in <em>all</em> of the arguments, including the <code>header</code>, when using this extended syntax. </p> <p>This allows, for instance, dynamic headers, where some of the content depends on settings from the user in (La)TeX. Another application is the inclusion of graphics inside the PostScript header, so that they can be reused throughout the document, as with logs. That avoids including the same graphic several times. This is implemented in the <samp>graphics/graphicx-psmin</samp> package. </p> <p>This extended syntax has one additional feature. When Dvips finds the extended syntax, it will also look in the installed <samp>tex/</samp> tree(s) for the header file (<samp>foo.ps</samp> in our example), and not only in the current directory and dvips tree as the original syntax does.

If this causes problems, the simplest solution is to use ‘<samp>dvips -Pmaxmem</samp>’, which reads the Dvips file <samp>config.maxmem</samp>, which sets Dvips’s idea of the memory available to a very large number.

You can check the fonts in a PDF file with Acrobat Reader by selecting the menu entries ‘<samp>File|Document Info|Fonts</samp>’. </p> <span id="index-psi-character-missing"></span> <span id="index-trailing-spaces_002c-dropped"></span> <span id="index-spaces_002c-dropped-trailing"></span> <p>Also, the Adobe distillers prior to 2.1 drop trailing space characters (character code 32) from strings. Unfortunately, the PostScript fonts use this character code for characters other than space (notably the Greek letter psi in the <code>Symbol</code> font), and so these characters are dropped. This bug is fixed in version 2.1. </p> <p>If you can’t upgrade, one workaround is to change all the trailing blanks in strings to a character code that isn’t in the font. This works because the default behavior is to substitute a blank for a missing character, i.e., the distiller is fooled into substituting the right character. For instance, with the Blue Sky fonts, you can globally replace ‘<samp> )</samp>’ with ‘<samp>\200)</samp>’ (with <code>sed</code>, for example) and get the desired result. With the public domain fonts, you will probably have to use a character code in the range 128 to 191 since these fonts duplicate the first 32 characters starting at 192 to avoid MS-DOS problems. </p> <p>For more information on the use of TeX to produce PDF files, see the article “Creating quality Adobe PDF files from TeX with DVIPS” by Kendall Whitehouse of Adobe.

Aside from general information about the font itself, a metric file has two kinds of information: information about individual characters, organized by character code, and information about sequences of characters. </p> <p>The per-character information specifies the width, height, depth, and italic correction of each character in the font.

It further specifies <em>ligature</em> information: when a sequence of input characters should be typeset as a single (presumably different) “ligature” character. For example, it’s traditional for the input ‘<samp>fi</samp>’ to be typeset as ‘fi’, not as ‘<span class="roman">f</span><span class="roman">i</span>’ (with the dot of the ‘i’ colliding with ‘f’). (In English, the only common ligatures are fi, fl, ff, ffi, and ffl.) </p> <p>Different typesetting systems use different metric file formats: </p> <ul> <li> <span id="index-afm-files"></span> <span id="index-_002eafm-Adobe-metric-files"></span> Each Postscript font has an <em>Adobe font metrics</em> (‘<samp>.afm</samp>’) file. These files are plain text, so you can inspect them easily. You can get AFM files for Adobe’s fonts from <a href="ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/Fonts/AFMs">ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/Fonts/AFMs</a>. </li><li> <span id="index-tfm-files"></span> <span id="index-_002etfm-TeX-font-metric-files"></span> TeX uses <em>TeX font metrics</em> (‘<samp>.tfm</samp>’) files. When you say ‘<samp>\font = <var>font</var></samp>’ in your TeX document, TeX reads a file named ‘<samp><var>font</var>.tfm</samp>’. (Well, except for the <samp>texfonts.map</samp> feature; see <a href="https://tug.org/texinfohtml/kpathsea.html#Fontmap">Fontmap</a> in <cite>Kpathsea</cite>). TeX can then calculate the space occupied by characters from the font when typesetting. In addition, the DVI drivers you use to print or view the DVI file produced by TeX may need to look at the TFM file. <span id="index-property-list-files"></span> <span id="index-tftopl"></span> <span id="index-pltotf"></span> <span id="index-_002epl-property-list-files"></span> <p>TFM files are binary (and hence are typically much smaller than AFM files).

You can also edit a PL file and transform it back to a TeX-readable TFM with the companion program <code>pltotf</code> (see <a href="https://tug.org/texinfohtml/web2c.html#pltotf-invocation">pltotf invocation</a> in <cite>Web2c</cite>).

TeX itself only reads the TFM file for a font; it does not need to know character shapes. </p> <p>A <em>glyph file</em> is a file that defines the shapes of the characters in a font. The shapes can be defined either by outlines or by bitmaps. </p> <span id="index-outline-fonts"></span> <span id="index-arcs"></span> <span id="index-splines"></span> <p>PostScript fonts are defined as <em>outline fonts</em>: Each character in the font is defined by giving the mathematical curves (lines, arcs, and splines) that define its contours. Different sizes of a character are generated by linearly scaling a single shape. For example, a 10-point ‘A’ is simply half the size of a 20-point ‘A’.

For example, <samp>cmr10.600pk</samp> contains the bitmaps for the ‘<samp>cmr10</samp>’ font at a resolution of 600dpi.

The explanation in this manual is intended to suffice for understanding enough about virtual fonts to use them with Dvips. It isn’t a reference manual on virtual fonts. For more information: The primary document on virtual fonts is Donald E. Knuth, <cite>TUGboat</cite> 11(1), Apr. 1990, pp. 13–23, “Virtual Fonts: More Fun for Grand Wizards” (<a href="mirror.ctan.org/info/virtual-fonts.knuth">mirror.ctan.org/info/virtual-fonts.knuth</a>).

The <code>vftovp</code> and <code>vptovf</code> programs convert a VF file to a human-readable VPL (virtual property list) format and back again. See <a href="https://tug.org/texinfohtml/web2c.html#vftovp-invocation">vftovp invocation</a> in <cite>Web2c</cite>, and <a href="https://tug.org/texinfohtml/web2c.html#vptovf-invocation">vptovf invocation</a> in <cite>Web2c</cite>. </p> <span id="index-base-fonts"></span> <p>In the case of a PostScript font <var>f</var> being used in a straightforward way, the recipe says: character <var>i</var> in the VF font is character <var>j</var> in font <var>f</var>.

See <a href="#Encodings">Encodings</a>. </p> <p>Since TeX reads only TFM files, not VF’s, each VF must have a corresponding TFM for use with TeX.

For example, the ASCII encoding specifies that the character numbered 65 (decimal) is an uppercase ‘A’. The encoding does not specify what the character at that position looks like; there are lots of ways to draw an ‘A’, and a glyph file (see <a href="#Glyph-files">Glyph files</a>) tells how. Nor does it specify how much space that character occupies; that information is in a metric file (see <a href="#Metric-files">Metric files</a>). </p> <span id="index-Computer-Modern_002c-encoding-of"></span> <p>TeX implicitly assumes a particular encoding for the fonts you use with it. For example, the plain TeX macro <code>\'</code>, which typesets an acute accent over the following letter, assumes the acute accent is at position 19 (decimal). This happens to be true of standard TeX fonts such as Computer Modern, as you might expect, but it is not true of normal PostScript fonts. </p> <p>It’s possible but painful to change all the macros that assume particular character positions.

An <em>encoding file</em> (‘<samp>.enc</samp>’) gives such a vector, together with ligature and kerning information (with which we are not concerned at the moment). These encoding files are used by the Afm2tfm program.

The ‘<samp>bitmapfontenc</samp>’ command line option (see <a href="#Option-details">Option details</a> and <code>bitmapfontenc</code> configuration option (see <a href="#Configuration-file-commands">Configuration file commands</a>) enable and disable this functionality; by default it is set to enabled, without warnings. </p> <span id="index-dvips_002dall_002eenc"></span> <p>To do this, dvips must find encoding information for the bitmapped fonts. It does this by first searching for a font-specific encoding file; for instance, for cmr10, it will search for <samp>dvips-cmr10.enc</samp> in the standard encoding path. If it does not find such a file, it will search for a <samp>dvips-all.enc</samp> file which contains a base set of encodings for many fonts. </p> <p>The specific syntax of an encoding file is unspecified, except that it must be a PostScript fragment that leaves exactly one object on the operand stack. (This is different from the encoding files used to define encodings for PostScript fonts, described earlier). Normally that object is just an array of 256 names; in this case, that array is used as the encoding vector for the font. Alternatively, the object can be a procedure that, when executed, leaves a legal encoding vector on the stack. This second option is made available to support future enhancements that may add additional constructs to the font dictionary to enhance the interpretation of font characters. </p> <p>The <samp>dvips-all.enc</samp> file contains encodings for many fonts, and it is loaded by dvips at most once. The format is just a sequence of font names, one per line, each terminated by a colon, followed by the encoding to use for those files. </p> <span id="index-bounding-box_002c-for-bitmap-fonts"></span> <span id="index-coordinate-system_002c-for-bitmap-fonts"></span> <p>As part of its operation, to enable heuristics in PostScript and PDF viewers to properly identify word breaks and column gutters, dvips also generates a modified font bounding box and a modified font coordinate system. </p> <hr> <span id="PostScript-typesetting"></span><div class="header"> <p> Previous: <a href="#Bitmap-font-encodings" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Bitmap font encodings</a>, Up: <a href="#Font-concepts" accesskey="u" rel="up">Font concepts</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="How-PostScript-typesets-a-character"></span><h4 class="subsection">6.1.6 How PostScript typesets a character</h4> <span id="index-typesetting-in-PostScript"></span> <span id="index-character-lookup-procedure-in-PostScript"></span> <p>The output of Dvips is a program in the PostScript language that instructs your (presumably PostScript-capable) printer how to typeset your document by transforming it into toner on paper.

Once you have installed the font, of course, it is available for any document thereafter and you don’t need to reinstall it. You must have an AFM file for any font you install. Unless the font is built into your printer, you must also have a PFA or PFB file. </p> <p>In the following examples, we use the font ‘<samp>Times-Roman</samp>’ to illustrate the process. But you should use the prebuilt fonts for Times and the other standard fonts, rather than rebuilding them. The prebuilt fonts are made using a more complicated process than that described here, to make them work as well as possible with TeX. So following the steps in this manual will not generate files identical to the distributed ones. See <a href="#PostScript-font-installation">PostScript font installation</a>, for pointers to the prebuilt fonts. </p> <p>Installation of a PostScript font proceeds in three steps. See <a href="#Font-concepts">Font concepts</a>, for descriptions of the various files involved. </p> <ol> <li> Run <code>afm2tfm</code> to create a TFM file for the original font, and the VPL form of the virtual font: <div class="example"> <pre class="example">afm2tfm Times-Roman -v ptmr rptmr </pre></div> </li><li> Run <code>vptovf</code> to generate a VF and TFM file for the virtual font from the VPL file: <div class="example"> <pre class="example">vptovf ptmr.vpl ptmr.vf ptmr.tfm </pre></div> </li><li> Insert an entry for the font in <samp>psfonts.map</samp> (see <a href="#psfonts_002emap">psfonts.map</a>): <div class="example"> <pre class="example">rptmr Times-Roman <ptmr8a.pfa </pre></div> </li><li> Install the files in the standard locations, as in: <div class="example"> <pre class="example">cp ptmr.vf <var>fontdir</var>/vf/… cp *ptmr.tfm <var>fontdir</var>/tfm/… cp ptmr.afm <var>fontdir</var>/afm/… cp ptmr.pf? <var>fontdir</var>/type1/… </pre></div> </li></ol> <p>The simplest invocation of Afm2tfm to make virtual fonts goes something like this: </p> <span id="index-afm2tfm"></span> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">afm2tfm Times-Roman -v ptmr rptmr </pre></div> <p>This reads the file <samp>Times-Roman.afm</samp>, and produces two files as output, namely the virtual property list’file <samp>ptmr.vpl</samp>, and the “raw” font metric file <samp>rptmr.tfm</samp>. To use the font in TeX, you first run </p> <span id="index-vptovf"></span> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">vptovf ptmr.vpl ptmr.vf ptmr.tfm </pre></div> <p>You should then install the virtual font file <samp>ptmr.vf</samp> where Dvips will see it and install <samp>ptmr.tfm</samp> and <samp>rptmr.tfm</samp> where TeX and Dvips will see them. </p> <p>Using these raw fonts is not recommended; there are no raw fonts in the prebuilt PostScript fonts distributed along with Dvips. But nevertheless, that’s how Afm2tfm presently operates, so that’s what we document here. The ‘<samp>r</samp>’ prefix convention is likewise historical accident. </p> <p>You can also make more complex virtual fonts by editing <samp>ptmr.vpl</samp> before running ‘<samp>vptovf</samp>’; such editing might add the uppercase Greek characters in the standard TeX positions, for instance. (This has already been done for the prebuilt fonts.) </p> <p>Once the files have been installed, you’re all set. You can now do things like this in TeX: </p><div class="example"> <pre class="example">\font\myfont = ptmr at 12pt \myfont Hello, I am being typeset in 12-point Times-Roman. </pre></div> <p>Thus, we have two fonts, one actual (‘<samp>rptmr</samp>’, which is analogous to the font in the printer) and one virtual (‘<samp>ptmr</samp>’, which has been remapped to the standard TeX encoding (almost)), and has typesetting know-how added. You could also say </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">\font\raw = rptmr at 10pt </pre></div> <p>and typeset directly with that, but then you would have no ligatures or kerning, and you would have to use Adobe character positions for special letters like The virtual font ‘<samp>ptmr</samp>’ not only has ligatures and kerning, and most of the standard accent conventions of TeX, it also has a few additional features not present in the Computer Modern fonts. For example, it includes all the Adobe characters (such as the Polish ogonek and the French guillemots). The only things you lose from ordinary TeX text fonts are the dotless ‘j’ (which can be hacked into the VPL file with literal PostScript specials if you have the patience) and uppercase Greek letters (which just don’t exist unless you buy them separately). See <a href="#Reencoding-with-Afm2tfm">Reencoding with Afm2tfm</a>. </p> <p>As a final step you need to record information about both the virtual font and the original font (if you ever might want to use it) in the <samp>psfonts.map</samp> file (see <a href="#psfonts_002emap">psfonts.map</a>). For our example, you’d insert the following into <samp>psfonts.map</samp>: </p><div class="example"> <pre class="example">rptmr Times-Roman <ptmr8a.pfa </pre></div> <p>Of course, <code>Times-Roman</code> is already built in to most every printer, so there’s no need to download any Type 1 file for it. But if you are actually following these instructions for new fonts, most likely they are not built in to the printer. </p> <span id="index-memory_002c-used-by-PostScript-fonts"></span> <span id="index-efficiency_002c-and-fonts"></span> <p>These PostScript fonts can be scaled to any size. Go wild! Using PostScript fonts, however, does use up a great deal of the printer’s memory and it does take time.

Afm2tfm generates these files from two encodings: one for TeX and one for PostScript. The TeX encoding is used to map character numbers to character names while the PostScript encoding is used to map each character name to a possibly different number. In combination, you can get access to any character of a PostScript font at any position for TeX typesetting. </p> <p>In the default case, when you specify none of the <code>-t</code>, <code>-p</code>, or <code>-T</code> options, Afm2tfm uses a default TeX encoding (which mostly corresponds to the Computer Modern text fonts) and the PostScript encoding found in the AFM file being read. The reencoding is also sometimes called a <em>remapping</em>. </p> <p>For example, the default encodings reencode the acute accent in two steps: first the default TeX encoding maps the number 19 to the character name ‘<samp>acute</samp>’; then the default PostScript encoding, as found in the AFM file for an ordinary PostScript font, maps the character name ‘<samp>acute</samp>’ to the number 194. (The PostScript encoding works in reverse, by looking in the encoding vector for the name and then yielding the corresponding number.) The combined mapping of 19 to 194 shows up explicitly in the VF file and also implicitly in the fact that the properties of PostScript character 194 appear in position 19 of the TFM file for the virtual font. </p> <span id="index-accents_002c-in-wrong-position"></span> <span id="index-Hungarian-umlaut"></span> <span id="index-dot-accent"></span> <span id="index-Scandinavian-A-ring"></span> <span id="index-A-ring_002c-Scandinavian-letter"></span> <p>The default encoding of the distributed fonts (e.g., <samp>ptmr.tfm</samp>) mostly follows plain TeX conventions for accents. The exceptions: the Hungarian umlaut (which is at position <code>0x7D</code> in ‘<samp>cmr10</samp>’, but position <code>0xCD</code> in ‘<samp>ptmr</samp>’); the dot accent (at positions <code>0x5F</code> and <code>0xC7</code>, respectively); and the Scandinavian A ring <code>\AA</code>, whose definition needs different tweaking. In order to use these accents with PostScript fonts or in math mode when <code>\textfont0</code> is a PostScript font, you will need to use the following definitions.

Here is a skeletal example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">% <span class="roman">Comments are ignored, unless the first word after the percent sign</span> % <span class="roman">is ‘<samp>LIGKERN</samp>’; see below.</span> /MyEncoding [ % <span class="roman">exactly 256 entries follow, each with a leading ‘<samp>/</samp>’</span> /Alpha /Beta /Gamma /Delta … /A /B … /Z … /.notdef /xfooaccent /yfooaccent /zfooaccent ] def </pre></div> <p>These encoding files are downloaded as part of changing the encoding at the PostScript level (see the previous section). </p> <span id="index-comments_002c-in-encoding-files"></span> <p>Comments, which start with a percent sign and continue until the end of the line, are ignored unless they start with ‘<samp>LIGKERN</samp>’ (see below). </p> <p>The first non-comment word of the file must start with a forward slash ‘<samp>/</samp>’ (i.e., a PostScript literal name) and defines the name of the encoding. The next word must be an left bracket ‘<samp>[</samp>’. Following that must be precisely 256 character names; use ‘<samp>/.notdef</samp>’ for any that you want to leave undefined. Then there must be a matching right bracket <code>]</code>. A final ‘<samp>def</samp>’ token is optional. All names are case-sensitive. </p> <p>Any ligature or kern information is given as a comment. If the first word after the ‘<samp>%</samp>’ is ‘<samp>LIGKERN</samp>’, then the entire rest of the line is parsed for ligature and kern information. This ligature and kern information is given in groups of words: each group is terminated by a space and a semicolon and (unless the semicolon is at the end of a line) another space. </p> <span id="index-LIGKERN-encoding-file-command"></span> <p>In these <code>LIGKERN</code> statements, three types of information may be specified. These three types are ligature pairs, kerns to ignore, and the character value of this font’s boundary character. </p> <span id="index-boundary-character"></span> <p>Throughout a <code>LIGKERN</code> statement, the boundary character is specified as ‘<samp>||</samp>’. To set the font’s boundary character value for TeX: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">% LIGKERN || = 39 ; </pre></div> <p>To indicate a kern to remove, give the names of the two characters (without the leading slash) separated by ‘<samp>{}</samp>’, as in ‘<samp>one {} one ;</samp>’. This is intended to be reminiscent of the way you might use ‘<samp>{}</samp>’ in a TeX file to turn off ligatures or kerns at a particular location. Either or both of the character names can be given as ‘<samp>*</samp>’, which is a wild card matching any character; thus, all kerns can be removed with ‘<samp>* {} * ;</samp>’. </p> <span id="index-ligature-operations"></span> <span id="index-Metafont-ligature-operations"></span> <p>To specify a ligature, specify the names of the pair of characters, followed by the ligature operation (as in Metafont), followed by the replacing character name. Either (but not both) of the first two characters can be ‘<samp>||</samp>’ to indicate a word boundary. </p> <span id="index-_003d_003a-ligature-operation"></span> <p>The most common operation is ‘<samp>=:</samp>’ meaning that both characters are removed and replaced by the third character, but by adding the ‘<samp>|</samp>’ character on either side of the ‘<samp>=:</samp>’, you can retain either or both of the two leading characters. In addition, by suffixing the ligature operation with one or two ‘<samp>></samp>’ signs, you can make the ligature scanning operation skip that many resulting characters before proceeding. This works just like in Metafont. For example, the ‘fi’ ligature is specified with ‘<samp>f i =: fi ;</samp>’<!-- /@w -->. A more convoluted ligature is ‘<samp>one one |=:|>> exclam ;</samp>’ which separates a pair of adjacent <code>1</code>’s with an exclamation point, and then skips over two of the resulting characters before continuing searching for ligatures and kerns. You cannot give more <tt>></tt>’s than <tt>|</tt>’s in an ligature operation, so there are a total of eight possibilities: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">=: |=: |=:> =:| =:|> |=:| |=:|> |=:|>> </pre></div> <p>The default set of ligatures and kerns built in to Afm2tfm is: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">% LIGKERN question quoteleft =: questiondown ; % LIGKERN exclam quoteleft =: exclamdown ; % LIGKERN hyphen hyphen =: endash ; endash hyphen =: emdash ; % LIGKERN quoteleft quoteleft =: quotedblleft ; % LIGKERN quoteright quoteright =: quotedblright ; % LIGKERN space {} * ; * {} space ; 0 {} * ; * {} 0 ; % LIGKERN 1 {} * ; * {} 1 ; 2 {} * ; * {} 2 ; 3 {} * ; * {} 3 ; % LIGKERN 4 {} * ; * {} 4 ; 5 {} * ; * {} 5 ; 6 {} * ; * {} 6 ; % LIGKERN 7 {} * ; * {} 7 ; 8 {} * ; * {} 8 ; 9 {} * ; * {} 9 ; </pre></div> <hr> <span id="Special-font-effects"></span><div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="#Afm2tfm-options" accesskey="n" rel="next">Afm2tfm options</a>, Previous: <a href="#Changing-font-encodings" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Changing font encodings</a>, Up: <a href="#Invoking-afm2tfm" accesskey="u" rel="up">Invoking afm2tfm</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="Special-font-effects-1"></span><h4 class="subsection">6.3.2 Special font effects</h4> <span id="index-oblique-fonts"></span> <span id="index-slanted-fonts"></span> <span id="index-fonts_002c-slanted"></span> <p>Besides the reencodings described in the previous section, Afm2tfm can do other manipulations.

The characters have the same code in the TFM file as in the AFM file. For text fonts, this means printable ASCII characters will work ok, but little else, because standard PostScript fonts have a different encoding scheme than the one that plain TeX expects (see <a href="#Encodings">Encodings</a>). Although the encodings agree for most printable ASCII characters, other characters such as ligatures and accents vary. Thus, in practice, it’s almost always desirable to create a virtual font as well with the ‘<samp>-v</samp>’ or ‘<samp>-V</samp>’ option.

The <code>-a</code> option omits such adjustments, so that all characters’ heights remain as they are given in the AFM file.

To access these macros simply add to the top of your plain TeX file the command: </p><div class="example"> <pre class="example">\input colordvi </pre></div> <p>For (the obsolete) LaTeX 2.09, add the ‘<samp>colordvi</samp>’ style option as in: </p><div class="example"> <pre class="example">\documentstyle[12pt,colordvi]{article} </pre></div> <p>For LaTeX2e, these examples are not applicable. Instead, please see the documentation for the graphics package (<a href="https://ctan.org/pkg/graphics">https://ctan.org/pkg/graphics</a>), and the epslatex document (<a href="https://ctan.org/pkg/epslatex">https://ctan.org/pkg/epslatex</a>). </p> <span id="index-Crayola-crayon-box"></span> <span id="index-Pantone-colors"></span> <span id="index-color-names_002c-mixed-case"></span> <p>These macros provide two basic kinds of color macros: ones for local color changes (a few words, a single symbol) and one for global color changes (the whole document). All the color names use a mixed case scheme to avoid conflicts with other macros. There are 68 predefined colors, with names taken primarily from the Crayola crayon box of 64 colors, and one pair of macros for the user to set his own color pattern (see <a href="#User_002ddefinable-colors">User-definable colors</a>). You can browse the file ‘<samp>colordvi.tex</samp>’ for a list of the predefined colors. The comments in this file also show a rough correspondence between the crayon names and Pantones. </p> <p>A local color command has the form </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">\<var>ColorName</var>{this is the color <var>ColorName</var>} </pre></div> <span id="index-_005cColorName"></span> <p>where <var>ColorName</var> is the name of a predefined color, e.g., ‘<samp>Blue</samp>’. As shown, these macros take one argument, the text to print in the specified color. This can be used for nested color changes since it restores the original color state when it completes. For example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">This text is normal but here we are \Red{switching to red, \Blue{nesting blue}, recovering the red} and back to original. </pre></div> <p><span id="index-color-nesting-level"></span> The color nesting level has no hard limit, but it is not advisable to nest too deeply lest you and the reader lose track of the color history. </p> <p>The global color command has the form </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">\text<var>ColorName</var> </pre></div> <p><span id="index-_005ctextColorName"></span> These macros take no arguments and changes the default color from that point on to <var>ColorName</var>. This of course can be overridden globally by another such command or locally by local color commands. For example, expanding on the example above, we might have </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">\textGreen This text is green but here we are \Red{switching to red, \Blue{nesting blue}, recovering the red} and back to original green. \textCyan The text from here on will be cyan until \Yellow{locally changed to yellow}. Now we are back to cyan. </pre></div> <p>The color commands will even work in math mode and across math mode boundaries. This means that if you have a color before going into math mode, the mathematics will be set in that color as well. In alignment environments like <code>\halign</code>, ‘<samp>tabular</samp>’ or ‘<samp>eqnarray</samp>’, local color commands cannot extend beyond the alignment characters. </p> <p>Because local color commands respect only some environment and delimiter changes besides their own, care must be taken in setting their scope. It is best not to have them stretch too far. </p> <p>At the present time there are no macros for color environments in LaTeX which might have a larger range. This is primarily to keep the TeX and LaTeX use compatible. </p> <hr> <span id="User_002ddefinable-colors"></span><div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="#Color-subtleties" accesskey="n" rel="next">Color subtleties</a>, Previous: <a href="#Color-macro-files" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Color macro files</a>, Up: <a href="#Color" accesskey="u" rel="up">Color</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="User_002ddefinable-colors-1"></span><h3 class="section">7.2 User-definable colors</h3> <span id="index-user_002ddefinable-colors"></span> <span id="index-colors_002c-user_002ddefinable"></span> <p>There are two ways for the user to specify colors not already defined. For local changes, there is the command <code>\Color</code> which takes two arguments. The first argument is four numbers between zero and one and specifies the intensity of cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) in that order. The second argument is the text that should appear in the given color. For example, suppose you want the words “this color is pretty” to appear in a color which is 50% cyan, 85% magenta, 40% yellow and 20% black. You would use the command </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">\Color{.5 .85 .4 .2}{this color is pretty} </pre></div> <p>For global color changes, there is a command <code>\textColor</code> which takes one argument, the CMYK quadruple of relative color intensities.

Consequently, Dvips will give you warning message and do its best to recover by discarding the current color history. </p> <hr> <span id="Color-subtleties"></span><div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="#Ted-Turner" accesskey="n" rel="next">Ted Turner</a>, Previous: <a href="#User_002ddefinable-colors" accesskey="p" rel="prev">User-definable colors</a>, Up: <a href="#Color" accesskey="u" rel="up">Color</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="Color-subtleties-1"></span><h3 class="section">7.3 Color subtleties</h3> <span id="index-color-subtleties"></span> <p>Color macros are defined via <code>\special</code> keywords. As such, they are put in the ‘<samp>.dvi</samp>’ file only as explicit message strings to the driver. The (unpleasant) result is that certain unprotected regions of the text can have unwanted color side effects. For example, if a color region is split by TeX across a page boundary, then the footers of the current page (e.g., the page number) and the headers of the next page can inherit that color. To avoid this effect globally, users should make sure that these special regions of the text are defined with their own local color commands. For example, to protect the header and footer in plain TeX, use </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">\headline{\Black{My Header}} \footline{\Black{\hss\tenrm\folio\hss}} </pre></div> <p>This warning also applies to figures and other insertions, so be careful! </p> <p>Of course, in LaTeX, this is much more difficult to do because of the complexity of the macros that control these regions. This is unfortunate but inevitable, because TeX and LaTeX were not written with color in mind. </p> <p>Even when writing your own macros, much care must be taken. The macros that ‘colorize’ a portion of the text work prefix the text work by outputting one <code>\special</code> command to turn the color on before the text, and outputting another <code>\special</code> command afterwards to restore the original color. It is often useful to ensure that TeX is in horizontal mode before the first special command is issued; this can be done by prefixing the color command with <code>\leavevmode</code>. </p> <hr> <span id="Ted-Turner"></span><div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="#Color-device-configuration" accesskey="n" rel="next">Color device configuration</a>, Previous: <a href="#Color-subtleties" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Color subtleties</a>, Up: <a href="#Color" accesskey="u" rel="up">Color</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="Printing-in-black_002fwhite-after-colorizing"></span><h3 class="section">7.4 Printing in black/white after colorizing</h3> <p>If you have a TeX or LaTeX document written with color macros and you want to print it in black and white there are two options. On all (good) PostScript devices, printing a color file will print in corresponding gray levels. This is useful to get a rough idea of the colors without using expensive color printing devices. The second option is to replace the call to input <samp>colordvi.tex</samp> with ‘<samp>blackdvi.tex</samp>’ (and similarly for the ‘<samp>.sty</samp>’ files). So in the above example, replacing the word ‘<samp>colordvi</samp>’ with ‘<samp>blackdvi</samp>’ suffices. <samp>blackdvi.tex</samp> defines the color macros as no-ops, and so will produce normal black/white printing. By this simple mechanism, the user can switch to all black/white printing without having to ferret out the color commands. Also, some device drivers, particularly non-PostScript ones like screen previewers, will simply ignore the color commands and so print in black/white. Hopefully, in the future screen previewers for color displays will be compatible with some form of color support. </p> <hr> <span id="Color-device-configuration"></span><div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="#Color-support-details" accesskey="n" rel="next">Color support details</a>, Previous: <a href="#Ted-Turner" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Ted Turner</a>, Up: <a href="#Color" accesskey="u" rel="up">Color</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="Color-device-configuration-1"></span><h3 class="section">7.5 Color device configuration</h3> <span id="index-color-configuration"></span> <span id="index-configuration_002c-of-color-devices"></span> <p>To configure Dvips for a particular color device you need to fine tune the color parameters to match your device’s color rendition. To do this, you will need a Pantone chart for your device. The header file ‘<samp>color.lpro</samp>’ shows a (rough) correspondence between the Crayola crayon names and the Pantone numbers and also defines default CMYK values for each of the colors. Note that these colors must be defined in CMYK terms and not RGB, as Dvips outputs PostScript color commands in CMYK. This header file also defines (if they are not known to the interpreter) the PostScript commands ‘<samp>setcmykcolor</samp>’ and ‘<samp>currentcmykcolor</samp>’ in terms of a RGB equivalent so if your device only understands RGB, there should be no problem. </p> <span id="index-Phaser-printer_002c-used-for-color-calibration"></span> <span id="index-Tektronix-Phaser-printer_002c-used-for-color-calibration"></span> <p>The parameters set in this file were determined by comparing the Pantone chart of a Tektronix Phaser printer with the actual Crayola Crayons. Because these were defined for a particular device, the actual color rendition on your device may be very different. There are two ways to adjust this. One is to use the PAntone chart for your device to rewrite ‘<samp>color.lpro</samp>’ prior to compilation and installation. A better alternative, which supports multiple devices, is to add a header file option in the configuration file (see <a href="#Configuration-file-commands">Configuration file commands</a>) for each device that defines, in ‘<samp>userdict</samp>’, the color parameters for those colors that need redefining. </p> <p>For example, if you need to change the parameters defining ‘<samp>Goldenrod</samp>’ (approximately Pantone 109 on the Phaser) for your device ‘<samp>mycolordev</samp>’, do the following. In the Pantone chart for your device, find the CMYK values for Pantone 109. Let’s say they are ‘<samp>{\ 0 0.10 0.75 0.03 }</samp>’. Then create a header file named ‘<samp>mycolordev.pro</samp>’ with the commands </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">userdict begin /Goldenrod { 0 0.10 0.75 0.03 setcmykcolor} bind def </pre></div> <p>Finally, in ‘<samp>config.mycolordev</samp>’ add the line </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">h mycolordev.pro </pre></div> <p>This will then define ‘<samp>Goldenrod</samp>’ in your device’s CMYK values in <samp>userdict</samp> which is checked before defining it in <samp>TeXdict</samp> by <samp>color.pro</samp>. (On MS-DOS, you will have to call this file <samp>mycolordev.cfg</samp>.) </p> <p>This mechanism, together with additions to <samp>colordvi.tex</samp> and <samp>blackdvi.tex</samp> (and the ‘<samp>.sty</samp>’ files), can also be used to predefine other colors for your users. </p> <hr> <span id="Color-support-details"></span><div class="header"> <p> Previous: <a href="#Color-device-configuration" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Color device configuration</a>, Up: <a href="#Color" accesskey="u" rel="up">Color</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="Color-support-details-1"></span><h3 class="section">7.6 Color support details</h3> <p>To support color, Dvips recognizes a certain set of specials. These specials start with the keyword ‘<samp>color</samp>’ or the keyword ‘<samp>background</samp>’, followed by a color specification. </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="#Color-specifications" accesskey="1">Color specifications</a></td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> </td></tr> <tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="#Color-specials" accesskey="2">Color specials</a></td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> </td></tr> </table> <hr> <span id="Color-specifications"></span><div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="#Color-specials" accesskey="n" rel="next">Color specials</a>, Up: <a href="#Color-support-details" accesskey="u" rel="up">Color support details</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="Color-specifications-1"></span><h4 class="subsection">7.6.1 Color specifications</h4> <span id="index-color-specifications"></span> <p>What is a color specification? One of three things. First, it might be a PostScript procedure as defined in a PostScript header file. The <samp>color.pro</samp> file defines 64 of these, including ‘<samp>Maroon</samp>’. This PostScript procedure must set the current color to be some value; in this case, ‘<samp>Maroon</samp>’ is defined as ‘<samp>0 0.87 0.68 0.32 setcmykcolor</samp>’. </p> <p>The second possibility is the name of a color model (initially, one of ‘<samp>rgb</samp>’, ‘<samp>hsb</samp>’, ‘<samp>cmyk</samp>’, or ‘<samp>gray</samp>’) followed by the appropriate number of parameters. When Dvips encounters such a macro, it sends out the parameters first, followed by the string created by prefixing ‘<samp>TeXcolor</samp>’ to the color model. Thus, the color specification ‘<samp>rgb 0.3 0.4 0.5</samp>’ would generate the PostScript code ‘<samp>0.3 0.4 0.5 TeXrgbcolor</samp>’. Note that the case of zero arguments is disallowed, as that is handled by the single keyword case (‘<samp>Maroon</samp>’) above, where no changes to the name are made before it is sent to the PostScript file. </p> <p>The third and final type of color specification is a double quote followed by any sequence of PostScript. The double quote is stripped from the output. For instance, the color specification ‘<samp>"AggiePattern setpattern</samp>’ will set the ‘color’ to the Aggie logo pattern (assuming such exists.) </p> <hr> <span id="Color-specials"></span><div class="header"> <p> Previous: <a href="#Color-specifications" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Color specifications</a>, Up: <a href="#Color-support-details" accesskey="u" rel="up">Color support details</a> [<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="#Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> <span id="Color-specials-1"></span><h4 class="subsection">7.6.2 Color specials</h4> <p>We will describe ‘<samp>background</samp>’ first, since it is the simplest. The ‘<samp>background</samp>’ keyword must be followed by a color specification. That color specification is used as a fill color for the background. The last ‘<samp>background</samp>’ special on a page is the one that gets issued, and it gets issued at the very beginning of the page, before any text or specials are sent. (This is possible because the prescan phase of Dvips notices all of the color specials so that the appropriate information can be written out during the second phase.) </p> <p>The ‘<samp>color</samp>’ special itself has three forms. The first is just ‘<samp>color</samp>’ followed by a color specification. In this case, the current global color is set to that color; the color stack must be empty when such a command is executed. </p> <p>The second form is ‘<samp>color push</samp>’ followed by a color specification. This saves the current color on the color stack and sets the color to be that given by the color specification. This is the most common way to set a color. </p> <p>The final version of the ‘<samp>color</samp>’ special is just ‘<samp>color pop</samp>’, with no color specification; this says to pop the color last pushed on the color stack from the color stack and set the current color to be that color. </p> <p>Dvips correctly handles these color specials across pages, even when the pages are repeated or reversed. </p> <p>These color specials can be used for things such as patterns or screens as well as simple colors. However, note that in the PostScript, only one color specification can be active at a time. For instance, at the beginning of a page, only the bottommost entry on the color stack is sent; also, when a color is popped, all that is done is that the color specification from the previous stack entry is sent. No ‘<samp>gsave</samp>’ or ‘<samp>grestore</samp>’ is used. This means that you cannot easily mix usage of the ‘<samp>color</samp>’ specials for screens and colors, just one or the other. This may be addressed in the future by adding support for different categories of color-like state. </p> <hr> <span id="Index"></span><div class="header"> <p> Previous: <a href="#Color" accesskey="p"
