xs2ps - send graphics to a file in PS syntax

Calling Sequence

xs2ps(win_num,filen,[color])

Parameters

• win_num : integer scalar or vector .
• filen : string, file name.
• color : optional integer. 0 means black and white and 1 means color. The default value is to use a value compatible with the screen status.

Description

xs2ps saves the recorded graphics of the window win_num to file filen in Postscript syntax. The filen must not have suffix extension.

Note that the generated Postscript file cannot be direcly printed since it requires a header file. The Scilab command BEpsf or others can be used to add a header file. The function xs2eps can be used to directly produce an encapsulated Postscript file with an header.

This function works only if the selected driver is "Rec" in the window win_num or if the window is in "new style". The generated postscript file does not contrains the header part

Examples

 
    scf(0)
    plot2d()
    // Postcript export
    filename='foo'; // ! no extension
    xs2ps(0,filename)
    //add the Postscript file header and create <filename>.eps file
    if MSDOS then
      unix_s(pathconvert('""'+WSCI+'/bin/BEpsf'+'""',%f)+' -p ' +filename)
    else
      unix_s(pathconvert('SCI/bin/BEpsf',%f)+' -p ' +filename)
    end
    // Gif export
    xs2gif(0,'foo.gif')
    // ppm export
    xs2ppm(0,'foo.ppm')
