My original trials of large format PostScript plotting started with such
prior advise of Mark Johnson, which makes it sound so easy. But all the
source code and documentation seems to be oriented toward a page size
plotter. The conversion from ppm to PS seemed to generate page size color
plot when viewed on SUN's pageview. I also have the impression that the ppm
plot would like to span several page-size plots. I need Mark to give more
explicit instructions and application description that assure me that I am
getting a large-format, color PostScript plot.
I would be very grateful to hear the outcome of your investigations -
we are looking at using a (commercially operated) Canon BJ-A1 for
generating hardcopy, and that is driven by PS - so if a direct route
to large format PS were found, then we would be in clover.
Does anyone else have experience with one of these?
