PHP PostScript document creation Functions
EditRocket provides the following information on PostScript document creation functions in the PHP source code builder.
int ps_add_bookmark ( resource $psdoc , string $text [, int $parent [, int $open ]] ) - Adds a bookmark for the current page. Bookmarks usually appear in PDF-Viewers left of the page in a hierarchical tree. Clicking on a bookmark will jump to the given page.
bool ps_add_launchlink ( resource $psdoc , float $llx , float $lly , float $urx , float $ury , string $filename ) - Places a hyperlink at the given position pointing to a file program which is being started when clicked on. The hyperlink's source position is a rectangle with its lower left corner at (llx, lly) and its upper right corner at (urx, ury). The rectangle has by default a thin blue border.
bool ps_add_locallink ( resource $psdoc , float $llx , float $lly , float $urx , float $ury , int $page , string $dest ) - Places a hyperlink at the given position pointing to a page in the same document. Clicking on the link will jump to the given page. The first page in a document has number 1.
bool ps_add_note ( resource $psdoc , float $llx , float $lly , float $urx , float $ury , string $contents , string $title , string $icon , int $open ) - Adds a note at a certain position on the page. Notes are like little rectangular sheets with text on it, which can be placed anywhere on a page. They are shown either folded or unfolded. If unfolded, the specified icon is used as a placeholder.
bool ps_add_pdflink ( resource $psdoc , float $llx , float $lly , float $urx , float $ury , string $filename , int $page , string $dest ) - Places a hyperlink at the given position pointing to a second pdf document. Clicking on the link will branch to the document at the given page. The first page in a document has number 1.
bool ps_add_weblink ( resource $psdoc , float $llx , float $lly , float $urx , float $ury , string $url ) - Places a hyperlink at the given position pointing to a web page. The hyperlink's source position is a rectangle with its lower left corner at (llx, lly) and its upper right corner at (urx, ury). The rectangle has by default a thin blue border.
bool ps_arc ( resource $psdoc , float $x , float $y , float $radius , float $alpha , float $beta ) - Draws a portion of a circle with at middle point at (x, y). The arc starts at an angle of alpha and ends at an angle of beta.
bool ps_arcn ( resource $psdoc , float $x , float $y , float $radius , float $alpha , float $beta ) - Draws a portion of a circle with at middle point at (x, y). The arc starts at an angle of alpha and ends at an angle of beta.
bool ps_begin_page ( resource $psdoc , float $width , float $height ) - Starts a new page. Although the parameters width and height imply a different page size for each page, this is not possible in PostScript. The first call of ps_begin_page() will set the page size for the whole document. Consecutive calls will have no effect, except for creating a new page. The situation is different if you intent to convert the PostScript document into PDF. This function places pdfmarks into the document which can set the size for each page indiviually. The resulting PDF document will have different page sizes.
int ps_begin_pattern ( resource $psdoc , float $width , float $height , float $xstep , float $ystep , int $painttype ) - Starts a new pattern. A pattern is like a page containing e.g. a drawing which can be used for filling areas.
int ps_begin_template ( resource $psdoc , float $width , float $height ) - Starts a new template. A template is called a form in the postscript language. It is created similar to a pattern but used like an image. Templates are often used for drawings which are placed several times through out the document, e.g. like a company logo. All drawing functions may be used within a template.
bool ps_circle ( resource $psdoc , float $x , float $y , float $radius ) - Draws a circle with its middle point at (x, y). The circle starts and ends at position (x+radius, y). If this function is called outside a path it will start a new path. If it is called within a path it will add the circle as a subpath. If the last drawing operation does not end in point (x+radius, y) then there will be a gap in the path.
bool ps_clip ( resource $psdoc ) - Takes the current path and uses it to define the border of a clipping area. Everything drawn outside of that area will not be visible.
bool ps_close ( resource $psdoc ) - Closes the PostScript document.
void ps_close_image ( resource $psdoc , int $imageid ) - Closes an image and frees its resources. Once an image is closed it cannot be used anymore.
bool ps_closepath ( resource $psdoc ) - Connects the last point with the first point of a path. The resulting path can be used for stroking, filling, clipping, etc..
bool ps_closepath_stroke ( resource $psdoc ) - Connects the last point with first point of a path and draws the resulting closed line.
bool ps_continue_text ( resource $psdoc , string $text ) - Output a text one line below the last line.
bool ps_curveto ( resource $psdoc , float $x1 , float $y1 , float $x2 , float $y2 , float $x3 , float $y3 ) - Add a section of a cubic Bézier curve described by the three given control points to the current path.
bool ps_delete ( resource $psdoc ) - Mainly frees memory used by the document.
bool ps_end_page ( resource $psdoc ) -
bool ps_end_pattern ( resource $psdoc ) -
bool ps_end_template ( resource $psdoc ) -
bool ps_fill ( resource $psdoc ) -
bool ps_fill_stroke ( resource $psdoc ) -
int ps_findfont ( resource $psdoc , string $fontname , string $encoding [, bool $embed ] ) - Loads a font for later use.
string ps_get_buffer ( resource $psdoc ) - This function is not implemented yet. It will always return an empty string. The idea for a later implementation is to write the contents of the postscript file into an internal buffer if in memory creation is requested, and retrieve the buffer content with this function. Currently, documents created in memory are send to the browser without buffering.
string ps_get_parameter ( resource $psdoc , string $name [, float $modifier ] ) -
float ps_get_value ( resource $psdoc , string $name [, float $modifier ] ) -
array ps_hyphenate ( resource $psdoc , string $text ) - Hyphenates the passed word.
bool ps_lineto ( resource $psdoc , float $x , float $y ) - Adds a straight line from the current point to the given coordinates to the current path.
int ps_makespotcolor ( resource $psdoc , string $name [, float $reserved ] ) - Creates a spot color from the current fill color. The fill color must be defined in rgb, cmyk or gray colorspace. The spot color name can be an arbitrary name.
bool ps_moveto ( resource $psdoc , float $x , float $y ) - Sets the current point to new coordinates. If this is the first call of ps_moveto() after a previous path has been ended then it will start a new path. If this function is called in the middle of a path it will just set the current point and start a subpath.
resource ps_new ( void ) - Creates a new document instance. It does not create the file on disk or in memory, it just sets up everything.
bool ps_open_file ( resource $psdoc [, string $filename ] ) - Creates a new file on disk and writes the PostScript document into it.
int ps_open_image ( resource $psdoc , string $type , string $source , string $data , int $lenght , int $width , int $height , int $components , int $bpc , string $params ) - Reads an image which is already available in memory. The parameter source is currently not evaluated and assumed to be memory. The image data is a sequence of pixels starting in th upper left corner and ending in the lower right corner. Each pixel consists of components color components, and each component has bpc bits.
int ps_open_image_file ( resource $psdoc , string $type , string $filename [, string $stringparam [, int $intparam ]] ) - Loads an image for later use.
bool ps_place_image ( resource $psdoc , int $imageid , float $x , float $y , float $scale ) - Places a formerly loaded image on the page. The image can be scaled.
bool ps_rect ( resource $psdoc , float $x , float $y , float $width , float $height ) - Draws a rectangle with its lower left corner at (x, y). The rectangle starts and ends in its lower left corner. If this function is called outside a path it will start a new path. If it is called within a path it will add the rectangle as a subpath. If the last drawing operation does not end in the lower left corner then there will be a gap in the path.
bool ps_restore ( resource $psdoc ) - Restores a previously saved graphics context.
bool ps_rotate ( resource $psdoc , float $rot ) - Sets the rotation of the coordinate system.
