       Tk_Font        tkFont      (in)      Font for which Postscript is to be

                                            in canvas coordinates.  The  order
                                            of  values  in coordPtr is x1, y1,

DESCRIPTION
       These procedures are called by canvas type managers to carry out common
       functions  related  to  generating  Postscript.  Most of the procedures
       take a canvas argument, which refers  to  a  canvas  widget  for  which
       Postscript is being generated.

       Tk_CanvasPsY  takes as argument a y-coordinate in the space of a canvas
       and returns the value that  should  be  used  for  that  point  in  the
       Postscript currently being generated for canvas.  Y coordinates require
       transformation because Postscript uses an origin at the lower-left cor-
       ner  whereas X uses an origin at the upper-left corner.  Canvas x coor-
       dinates can be used directly in Postscript without transformation.

       Tk_CanvasPsBitmap generates  Postscript  to  describe  a  region  of  a
       bitmap.   The  Postscript  is generated in proper image data format for
       Postscript, i.e., as data between angle brackets, one  bit  per  pixel.
       The  Postscript  is  appended  to interp->result and TCL_OK is returned
       unless an error  occurs,  in  which  case  TCL_ERROR  is  returned  and
       interp->result is overwritten with an error message.

       Tk_CanvasPsColor  generates Postscript to set the current color to cor-
       respond to its colorPtr argument, taking into  account  any  color  map
       specified  in  the  postscript  command.   It appends the Postscript to
       interp->result and returns TCL_OK unless an error occurs, in which case
       TCL_ERROR  is  returned and interp->result is overwritten with an error
       message.

       Tk_CanvasPsFont generates Postscript that  sets  the  current  font  to
       match  tkFont  as  closely  as  possible.   Tk_CanvasPsFont  takes into
       account any font map specified in the postscript command, and  it  does
       the best it can at mapping X fonts to Postscript fonts.  It appends the
       Postscript to interp->result and returns TCL_OK unless an error occurs,
       in  which  case TCL_ERROR is returned and interp->result is overwritten
       with an error message.

       Tk_CanvasPsPath generates Postscript to set the current path to the set
       of  points  given  by coordPtr and numPoints.  It appends the resulting
       Postscript to interp->result.

       Tk_CanvasPsStipple generates Postscript that will fill the current path
       in  stippled  fashion.   It  uses bitmap as the stipple pattern and the
       current Postscript color;  ones in the stipple bitmap are drawn in  the
       current  color,  and  zeroes  are  not drawn at all.  The Postscript is
       appended to interp->result and TCL_OK  is  returned,  unless  an  error
       occurs, in which case TCL_ERROR is returned and interp->result is over-
       written with an error message.
