What is PostScript? PostScript is a programming language with powerful graphics functions. It is often called page description language because it can be used to specify the contents of a page that is to be printed. A “page” is always understood as a graphic that can contain various types of elements: ►Basic geometric components, such as lines, rectangles, circles, and curves. The lines can be drawn with any stroke weight or be dashed, surfaces can be filled with grays or colors.►Text in various typefaces, of any size and orientation. Text characters are always treated as graphical objects. There are no restrictions as to size, color, or orientation.►Bitmaps, that is pictures whose content is described not by objects but by individual pixels, in a rectangular grid. Individual pixels can have various grayscale or color values. Photos, for example, can be digitized using a scanner and stored as a bitmap.
