This rather long section describes +the advantages of using Dvips, and may be skipped if you are just +interested in learning how to use the program. See <a href="#Installation">Installation</a>, for +details of compilation and installation. + + <p>The Dvips driver generates excellent, standard PostScript, that +can be included in other documents as figures or printed through a +variety of spoolers. The generated PostScript requires very little +printer memory, so very complex documents with a lot of fonts can easily +be printed even on PostScript printers without much memory, such as the +original Apple LaserWriter. The PostScript output is also compact, +requiring less disk space to store and making it feasible as a transfer +format. + + <p>Even those documents that are too complex to print in their entirety on +a particular printer can be printed, since Dvips will +automatically split such documents into pieces, reclaiming the printer +memory between each piece. + + <p>The Dvips program supports graphics in a natural way, allowing +PostScript graphics to be included and automatically scaled and +positioned in a variety of ways. + + <p>Printers with any resolution are supported, even if they have different +resolutions in the horizontal and vertical directions. High resolution +output is supported for typesetters, including an option that compresses +the bitmap fonts so that typesetter virtual memory is not exhausted. +This option also significantly reduces the size of the PostScript file +and decoding in the printer is very fast. + + <p>Missing fonts can be automatically generated if Metafont exists on +the system, or fonts can be converted from GF to PK format +on demand. If a font cannot be generated, a scaled version of the same +font at a different size can be used instead, although Dvips will +complain loudly about the poor aesthetics of the resulting output. + + <p>Users will appreciate features such as collated copies and support for +<samp><span class="file">tpic</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">psfig</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">emtex</span></samp>, and <samp><span class="file">METAPOST</span></samp>; system +administrators will love the support for multiple printers, each with +their own configuration file, and the ability to pipe the output +directly to a program such as <samp><span class="file">lpr</span></samp>. Support for MS-DOS, OS/2, and +VMS in addition to Unix is provided in the standard distribution, and +porting to other systems is easy. + + <p>One of the most important features is the support of virtual fonts, +which add an entirely new level of flexibility to TeX. Virtual fonts +are used to give Dvips its excellent PostScript font support, handling +all the font remapping in a natural, portable, elegant, and extensible +way. Dvips even comes with its own Afm2tfm program that creates +the necessary virtual fonts and TeX font metric files automatically +from the Adobe font metric files. + + <p>Source is provided and freely distributable, so adding a site-specific feature +is possible. Adding such features is made easier by the highly modular +structure of the program. + + <p>There is really no reason to use another driver, and the more people use +Dvips, the less time will be spent fighting with PostScript and the +more time will be available to create beautiful documents. +So if you don't use Dvips on your system, get it today. + + <p><a name="index-Rokicki_002c-Tomas-1"></a>Tom Rokicki wrote and maintains the original Dvips program. + +<!-- INSTALLONLY --> +<div class="node"> +<p><hr> +<a name="Installation"></a> +Next: <a rel="next" accesskey="n" href="#Invoking-Dvips">Invoking Dvips</a>, +Previous: <a rel="previous" accesskey="p" href="#Why-Dvips">Why Dvips</a>, +Up: <a rel="up" accesskey="u" href="#Top">Top</a> + +</div> + +<h2 class="chapter">2 Installation</h2> + +<p><a name="index-configuration_002c-of-Dvips-2"></a><a name="index-compilation-3"></a><a name="index-installation_002c-of-Dvips-4"></a> +(A copy of this chapter is in the distribution file <samp><span class="file">dvipsk/INSTALL</span></samp>.) + + <p>Installing Dvips is mostly the same as installing any Kpathsea-using +program.

All the color names use a mixed case +scheme to avoid conflicts with other macros. There are 68 predefined +colors, with names taken primarily from the Crayola crayon box of 64 +colors, and one pair of macros for the user to set his own color pattern +(see <a href="#User_002ddefinable-colors">User-definable colors</a>). You can browse the file +`<samp><span class="samp">colordvi.tex</span></samp>' for a list of the predefined colors. The comments +in this file also show a rough correspondence between the crayon names +and Pantones. + + <p>A local color command has the form + +<pre class="example"> \<var>ColorName</var>{this is the color <var>ColorName</var>} +</pre> + <p><a name="index-g_t_005c_0040var_007bColorName_007d-644"></a>where <var>ColorName</var> is the name of a predefined color, e.g., +`<samp><span class="samp">Blue</span></samp>'. As shown, these macros take one argument, the text to +print in the specified color. This can be used for nested color changes +since it restores the original color state when it completes. For +example: + +<pre class="example"> This text is normal but here we are \Red{switching to red, + \Blue{nesting blue}, recovering the red} and back to original. +</pre> + <p class="noindent"><a name="index-color-nesting-level-645"></a>The color nesting level has no hard limit, but it is not advisable to +nest too deeply lest you and the reader lose track of the color history. + + <p>The global color command has the form + +<pre class="example"> \text<var>ColorName</var> +</pre> + <p class="noindent"><a name="index-g_t_005ctext_0040var_007bColorName_007d-646"></a>These macros take no arguments and changes the default color from that +point on to <var>ColorName</var>. This of course can be overridden globally +by another such command or locally by local color commands.

Now we are back to cyan. +</pre> + <p>The color commands will even work in math mode and across math mode +boundaries. This means that if you have a color before going into math +mode, the mathematics will be set in that color as well. In alignment +environments like <code>\halign</code>, `<samp><span class="samp">tabular</span></samp>' or `<samp><span class="samp">eqnarray</span></samp>', +local color commands cannot extend beyond the alignment characters. + + <p>Because local color commands respect only some environment and +delimiter changes besides their own, care must be taken in setting +their scope.

The first argument is four numbers between zero and one and +specifies the intensity of cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) in +that order. The second argument is the text that should appear in the +given color. For example, suppose you want the words “this color is +pretty” to appear in a color which is 50% cyan, 85% magenta, 40% yellow +and 20% black. You would use the command + +<pre class="example"> \Color{.5 .85 .4 .2}{this color is pretty} +</pre> + <p>For global color changes, there is a command <code>\textColor</code> which +takes one argument, the CMYK quadruple of relative color intensities. +For example, if you want the default color to be as above, then the +command + +<pre class="example"> \textColor{.5 .85 .4 .2} + The text from now on will be this pretty color +</pre> + <p class="noindent">will do the trick. + + <p>Making a global color change in the midst of nested local colors is +highly discouraged.

As such, they +are put in the `<samp><span class="samp">.dvi</span></samp>' file only as explicit message strings to the +driver. The (unpleasant) result is that certain unprotected regions of +the text can have unwanted color side effects. For example, if a color +region is split by TeX across a page boundary, then the footers of +the current page (e.g., the page number) and the headers of the next +page can inherit that color. To avoid this effect globally, users +should make sure that these special regions of the text are defined with +their own local color commands. For example, to protect the +header and footer in plain TeX, use + +<pre class="example"> \headline{\Black{My Header}} + \footline{\Black{\hss\tenrm\folio\hss}} +</pre> + <p>This warning also applies to figures and other insertions, so be careful! + + <p>Of course, in LaTeX, this is much more difficult to do because of the +complexity of the macros that control these regions. This is +unfortunate but inevitable, because TeX and LaTeX were +not written with color in mind. + + <p>Even when writing your own macros, much care must be taken. The macros +that `colorize' a portion of the text work prefix the text work by +outputting one <code>\special</code> command to turn the color on before the +text, and outputting another <code>\special</code> command afterwards to +restore the original color. It is often useful to ensure that TeX is +in horizontal mode before the first special command is issued; this can +be done by prefixing the color command with <code>\leavevmode</code>. + +<div class="node"> +<p><hr> +<a name="Ted-Turner"></a> +Next: <a rel="next" accesskey="n" href="#Color-device-configuration">Color device configuration</a>, +Previous: <a rel="previous" accesskey="p" href="#Color-subtleties">Color subtleties</a>, +Up: <a rel="up" accesskey="u" href="#Color">Color</a> + +</div> + +<h3 class="section">7.4 Printing in black/white after colorizing</h3> + +<p>If you have a TeX or LaTeX document written with color macros and +you want to print it in black and white there are two options. On all +(good) PostScript devices, printing a color file will print in +corresponding gray levels. This is useful to get a rough idea of the +colors without using expensive color printing devices. The second +option is to replace the call to input <samp><span class="file">colordvi.tex</span></samp> with +`<samp><span class="samp">blackdvi.tex</span></samp>' (and similarly for the `<samp><span class="samp">.sty</span></samp>' files). So in +the above example, replacing the word `<samp><span class="samp">colordvi</span></samp>' with +`<samp><span class="samp">blackdvi</span></samp>' suffices. <samp><span class="file">blackdvi.tex</span></samp> defines the color macros +as no-ops, and so will produce normal black/white printing. By this +simple mechanism, the user can switch to all black/white printing +without having to ferret out the color commands. Also, some device +drivers, particularly non-PostScript ones like screen previewers, will +simply ignore the color commands and so print in black/white. +Hopefully, in the future screen previewers for color displays will be +compatible with some form of color support. + +<div class="node"> +<p><hr> +<a name="Color-device-configuration"></a> +Next: <a rel="next" accesskey="n" href="#Color-support-details">Color support details</a>, +Previous: <a rel="previous" accesskey="p" href="#Ted-Turner">Ted Turner</a>, +Up: <a rel="up" accesskey="u" href="#Color">Color</a> + +</div> + +<h3 class="section">7.5 Color device configuration</h3> + +<p><a name="index-color-configuration-650"></a><a name="index-configuration_002c-of-color-devices-651"></a> +To configure Dvips for a particular color device you need to fine tune +the color parameters to match your device's color rendition. To do this, +you will need a Pantone chart for your device. The header file +`<samp><span class="samp">color.lpro</span></samp>' shows a (rough) correspondence between the Crayola +crayon names and the Pantone numbers and also defines default CMYK +values for each of the colors. Note that these colors must be defined +in CMYK terms and not RGB, as Dvips outputs PostScript color commands in +CMYK. This header file also defines (if they are not known to the +interpreter) the PostScript commands `<samp><span class="samp">setcmykcolor</span></samp>' and +`<samp><span class="samp">currentcmykcolor</span></samp>' in terms of a RGB equivalent so if your device +only understands RGB, there should be no problem. + + <p><a name="index-Phaser-printer_002c-used-for-color-calibration-652"></a><a name="index-Tektronix-Phaser-printer_002c-used-for-color-calibration-653"></a>The parameters set in this file were determined by comparing the Pantone +chart of a Tektronix Phaser printer with the actual Crayola Crayons. +Because these were defined for a particular device, the actual color +rendition on your device may be very different. There are two ways to +adjust this. One is to use the PAntone chart for your device to rewrite +`<samp><span class="samp">color.lpro</span></samp>' prior to compilation and installation. A better +alternative, which supports multiple devices, is to add a header file +option in the configuration file (see <a href="#Configuration-file-commands">Configuration file commands</a>) +for each device that defines, in `<samp><span class="samp">userdict</span></samp>', the color parameters +for those colors that need redefining. + + <p>For example, if you need to change the parameters defining +`<samp><span class="samp">Goldenrod</span></samp>' (approximately Pantone 109 on the Phaser) for your +device `<samp><span class="samp">mycolordev</span></samp>', do the following. In the Pantone chart for +your device, find the CMYK values for Pantone 109. Let's say they are +`<samp><span class="samp">{\ 0 0.10 0.75 0.03 }</span></samp>'. Then create a header file named +`<samp><span class="samp">mycolordev.pro</span></samp>' with the commands + +<pre class="example"> userdict begin + /Goldenrod { 0 0.10 0.75 0.03 setcmykcolor} bind def +</pre> + <p class="noindent">Finally, in `<samp><span class="samp">config.mycolordev</span></samp>' add the line + +<pre class="example"> h mycolordev.pro +</pre> + <p class="noindent">This will then define `<samp><span class="samp">Goldenrod</span></samp>' in your device's CMYK values in +<samp><span class="file">userdict</span></samp> which is checked before defining it in <samp><span class="file">TeXdict</span></samp> by +<samp><span class="file">color.pro</span></samp>. (On MS-DOS, you will have to call this file +<samp><span class="file">mycolordev.cfg</span></samp>.) + + <p>This mechanism, together with additions to <samp><span class="file">colordvi.tex</span></samp> and +<samp><span class="file">blackdvi.tex</span></samp> (and the `<samp><span class="samp">.sty</span></samp>' files), can also be used to +predefine other colors for your users. + +<div class="node"> +<p><hr> +<a name="Color-support-details"></a> +Previous: <a rel="previous" accesskey="p" href="#Color-device-configuration">Color device configuration</a>, +Up: <a rel="up" accesskey="u" href="#Color">Color</a> + +</div> + +<h3 class="section">7.6 Color support details</h3> + +<p>To support color, Dvips recognizes a certain set of specials. These +specials start with the keyword `<samp><span class="samp">color</span></samp>' or the keyword +`<samp><span class="samp">background</span></samp>', followed by a color specification. + +<ul class="menu"> +<li><a accesskey="1" href="#Color-specifications">Color specifications</a> +<li><a accesskey="2" href="#Color-specials">Color specials</a> +</ul> + +<div class="node"> +<p><hr> +<a name="Color-specifications"></a> +Next: <a rel="next" accesskey="n" href="#Color-specials">Color specials</a>, +Up: <a rel="up" accesskey="u" href="#Color-support-details">Color support details</a> + +</div> + +<h4 class="subsection">7.6.1 Color specifications</h4> + +<p><a name="index-color-specifications-654"></a> +What is a color specification? One of three things. First, it might be +a PostScript procedure as defined in a PostScript header file. The +<samp><span class="file">color.pro</span></samp> file defines 64 of these, including `<samp><span class="samp">Maroon</span></samp>'. +This PostScript procedure must set the current color to be some value; +in this case, `<samp><span class="samp">Maroon</span></samp>' is defined as `<samp><span class="samp">0 0.87 0.68 0.32 +setcmykcolor</span></samp>'. + + <p>The second possibility is the name of a color model (initially, one of +`<samp><span class="samp">rgb</span></samp>', `<samp><span class="samp">hsb</span></samp>', `<samp><span class="samp">cmyk</span></samp>', or `<samp><span class="samp">gray</span></samp>') followed by the +appropriate number of parameters. When Dvips encounters such a macro, +it sends out the parameters first, followed by the string created by +prefixing `<samp><span class="samp">TeXcolor</span></samp>' to the color model. Thus, the color +specification `<samp><span class="samp">rgb 0.3 0.4 0.5</span></samp>' would generate the PostScript code +`<samp><span class="samp">0.3 0.4 0.5 TeXrgbcolor</span></samp>'. Note that the case of zero arguments is +disallowed, as that is handled by the single keyword case +(`<samp><span class="samp">Maroon</span></samp>') above, where no changes to the name are made before it +is sent to the PostScript file. + + <p>The third and final type of color specification is a double quote +followed by any sequence of PostScript. The double quote is stripped +from the output. For instance, the color specification +`<samp><span class="samp">"AggiePattern setpattern</span></samp>' will set the `color' to the Aggie logo +pattern (assuming such exists.) + +<div class="node"> +<p><hr> +<a name="Color-specials"></a> +Previous: <a rel="previous" accesskey="p" href="#Color-specifications">Color specifications</a>, +Up: <a rel="up" accesskey="u" href="#Color-support-details">Color support details</a> + +</div> + +<h4 class="subsection">7.6.2 Color specials</h4> + +<p>We will describe `<samp><span class="samp">background</span></samp>' first, since it is the simplest. The +`<samp><span class="samp">background</span></samp>' keyword must be followed by a color specification. +That color specification is used as a fill color for the background. +The last `<samp><span class="samp">background</span></samp>' special on a page is the one that gets +issued, and it gets issued at the very beginning of the page, before any +text or specials are sent. (This is possible because the prescan phase +of Dvips notices all of the color specials so that the appropriate +information can be written out during the second phase.) + + <p>The `<samp><span class="samp">color</span></samp>' special itself has three forms. +The first is just `<samp><span class="samp">color</span></samp>' followed by a color specification. In +this case, the current global color is set to that color; the color stack +must be empty when such a command is executed. + + <p>The second form is `<samp><span class="samp">color push</span></samp>' followed by a color specification. +This saves the current color on the color stack and sets the color to be +that given by the color specification. This is the most common way to +set a color. + + <p>The final version of the `<samp><span class="samp">color</span></samp>' special is just `<samp><span class="samp">color pop</span></samp>', +with no color specification; this says to pop the color last pushed on +the color stack from the color stack and set the current color to be +that color. + + <p>Dvips correctly handles these color specials across pages, even when the +pages are repeated or reversed. + + <p>These color specials can be used for things such as patterns or screens +as well as simple colors. However, note that in the PostScript, only +one color specification can be active at a time. For instance, at the +beginning of a page, only the bottommost entry on the color stack is +sent; also, when a color is popped, all that is done is that the color +specification from the previous stack entry is sent. No `<samp><span class="samp">gsave</span></samp>' or +`<samp><span class="samp">grestore</span></samp>' is used. This means that you cannot easily mix usage of +the `<samp><span class="samp">color</span></samp>' specials for screens and colors, just one or the other. +This may be addressed in the future by adding support for different +categories of color-like state. + +<div class="node"> +<p><hr> +<a name="Index"></a> +Previous: <a rel="previous" accesskey="p" href="#Color">Color</a>, +Up: <a rel="up"
