A printer/display protocol developed by Adobe Corporation PostScript is an actual printing and programming language to display text and graphics Unlike line/ASCII printers, which print character input verbatim, PostScript printers accept an entire PostScript page, and then interpret and print it The programming aspects of PostScript can be used to define shapes and routines that will be used on successive pages, change fonts and text orientation, and print fine bitmap images within blocks of text
A paragraph added to a letter after it is concluded and signed by the writer; an addition made to a book or composition after the main body of the work has been finished, containing something omitted, or something new occurring to the writer
A language designed for describing text and graphics, usually built into high-end output devices such as laser printers and typesetters Display PostScript is the use of PostScript for the computer's own display (on a monitor)
A page description language developed by Adobe Systems, Inc to control precisely how and where shapes and type will appear on a page Software and hardware may be described as being PostScript compatible
A page description language from Adobe Systems, Inc PostScript translates the text and graphic images that appear on the computer screen into instructions for the printer PostScript must be used with a printer that can interpret it
A page-description language from Adobe Systems that offers flexible font capability and high-quality graphics The most well-known page-description language, PostScript uses English-like commands to control page layout and to load and scale outline fonts Adobe Systems is also responsible for Display PostScript, a graphics language for computer displays that gives users of both PostScript and Display PostScript absolute WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get), which is difficult when different methods are used for displaying and printing
Page description language used in many laser printers including those in the CIS public computing labs PostScript files are ASCII text files written in PostScript code
A print description language used as a way of communicating with printers that is not dependent on program, operating system or model of computer Desk Top Publishing can produce EPS (encapsulated postscript) files on disks which can then be sent to high volume print companies, thereby saving the expense of typesetting and allowing the small system user access to professional quality publication
A postscript is something written at the end of a letter after you have signed your name. You usually write `PS' in front of it. A brief, hand-written postscript lay beneath his signature
A page description language (PDL) developed by Adobe Systems PostScript is primarily a language for printing documents on laser printers, but it can be adapted to produce images on other types of devices
A postscript is an addition to a finished story, account, or statement, which gives further information. I should like to add a postscript to your obituary for John Cage
A general-purpose programming language that contains a rich set of graphics operators PostScript is produced by many popular word processing and graphics packages and can be displayed on a wide variety of printers, plotters, and workstation screens
A language that describes the appearance (text and graphics) of a printed page PostScript is an industry standard for printing and imaging Many printers contain or can be loaded with PostScript software PostScript handles industry-standard, scalable typefaces in the Type 1 and TrueType formats PostScript is an output format of Quartz
A page description programming language created by Adobe Systems Inc that is a device-independent industry standard for outputting documents and graphics
A page-description language (PDL) developed by Adobe Systems for printing with laser printers PostScript offers flexible font capability and high-quality graphics It is the standard for desktop publishing because it is supported by imagesetters, the high-resolution printers used by printing services for commercial typesetting See also printer control language (PCL); page-description language (PDL)
A page description language developed and marketed by Adobe Systems PostScript can be used by a wide variety of computers and printers, and is the dominant format used for desktop publishing Documents in PostScript format are able to use the full resolution of any PostScript printer, because they describe the page to be printed in terms of primitive shapes which are interpreted by the printer's own controller PostScript is often used to share documents on the Internet because of this ability to work on many different platforms and printers
Adobe System's page description language Many programs use PostScript to create complex pages, text, and graphics on screen This language is then sent to the printer to produce high-quality printed text and graphics
A page description language primarily used for printing documents on laser printers; it is the standard for desktop publishing because it takes advantage of high resolution output devices Example: A graphic design saved in PostScript format looks much better when printed on a 600 dpi printer than on a 300 dpi printer
A page description language (PDL) from Adobe that is used extensively on all computer platforms It is the de facto standard in commercial typesetting and printing houses Most all accept and may even require PostScript files as electronic input PostScript commands do not drive the printer directly They are language statements in ASCII text that are translated into the printer's machine language by a PostScript interpreter built into the printer Fonts are scaled to size by the interpreter, thus eliminating the need to store a variety of font sizes on disk PostScript Level 2, downward compatible with original PostScript, adds data compression and enhancements, especially for color printing Level 3 adds more enhancements and native fonts and the ability to directly support more formats, including HTML, PDF, GIF and JPEG Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) is a subset of PostScript used to exchange a single graphic image in the PostScript format
A page description language developed and marketed by Adobe Inc Widely implemented in laser printers, especially where high-quality output is required (e g phototypesetters) and, under Linux, widely emulated in software for non-Postcript printers
