44. PostScript Hardcopy
These commands convert buffer contents to PostScript, either printing it or leaving it in another Emacs buffer.
- M-x ps-print-buffer
Print hardcopy of the current buffer in PostScript form.
- M-x ps-print-region
Print hardcopy of the current region in PostScript form.
- M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces
Print hardcopy of the current buffer in PostScript form, showing the faces used in the text by means of PostScript features.
- M-x ps-print-region-with-faces
Print hardcopy of the current region in PostScript form, showing the faces used in the text.
- M-x ps-spool-buffer
Generate PostScript for the current buffer text.
- M-x ps-spool-region
Generate PostScript for the current region.
- M-x ps-spool-buffer-with-faces
Generate PostScript for the current buffer, showing the faces used.
- M-x ps-spool-region-with-faces
Generate PostScript for the current region, showing the faces used.
- M-x handwrite
Generates/prints PostScript for the current buffer as if handwritten.
The PostScript commands, ps-print-buffer
and
ps-print-region
, print buffer contents in PostScript form. One
command prints the entire buffer; the other, just the region. The
corresponding ‘-with-faces’ commands,
ps-print-buffer-with-faces
and ps-print-region-with-faces
,
use PostScript features to show the faces (fonts and colors) in the text
properties of the text being printed.
If you are using a color display, you can print a buffer of program
code with color highlighting by turning on Font-Lock mode in that
buffer, and using ps-print-buffer-with-faces
.
The commands whose names have ‘spool’ instead of ‘print’ generate the PostScript output in an Emacs buffer instead of sending it to the printer.
M-x handwrite is more frivolous. It generates a PostScript
rendition of the current buffer as a cursive handwritten document. It
can be customized in group handwrite
. This function only
supports ISO 8859-1 characters.
The following section describes variables for customizing these commands.
