Ghostscript

GNU Ghostscript

Table of Contents

Ghostscript is the name of a set of software that provides:

• An interpreter for the PostScript language and the PDF file format,
• A set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library) that implement
  the graphics capabilities that appear as primitive operations in the
  PostScript language, and
• A wide variety of output drivers for various file formats and printers.

Ghostscript was originally written by Peter Deutsch.

The original Ghostscript program is maintained by a group of
developers from Artifex Software Inc.
Henry Stiles and Ray Johnston are the main developers.

GNU Ghostscript is maintained by a team of GNU programmers. The GNU version of
the software is a distribution of the Ghostscript project from Artifex Software.

GNU Ghostscript is known to run on the following platform families:

• A wide variety of Unix systems using X Window version 11,
  release 4, 5, and 6, including Sun-3, Sun-4, Sun-386i, and
  Sun SPARCStation; generic machines running
  GNU/Linux, 386/ix, ISC Unix, SCO Unix, and Solaris; H-P
  9000/300 and 9000/800; DECStation 2100 and 3100; VAX running
  Ultrix and OSF/1; Sequent Symmetry; Convex C1 and C2;
  Tektronix 4300; SGI Iris Indigo;
• Sun workstations (Sun-3, SPARC, Sun-386i) running SunView;
• VAX or AXP systems running VMS with X11R4/5 and DEC C or gcc.

GNU Ghostscript is a copyrighted work; it is distributed under
the GNU General Public License. You
can get the current version of GNU Ghostscript by Internet FTP from
ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ghostscript
from any of the GNU distribution sites; likely, alpha versions may be
available
on alpha.gnu.org/gnu/ghostscript.

The Ghostscript source code distribution requires the jpeg library,
the zlib compression library, optionally the libpng image format library,
Jasper (for JPEG2000 format support), expat, freetype, jbig2dec, lcms and tiff.
The versions eventually included in the distribution sources contain some
modifications essentials to Ghostscript and not included upstream for the moment.

GNU Ghostscript documentation is distributed with the source packages.

The main GNU Ghostscript mailing list is

<bug-ghostscript@gnu.org> (subscribe) (archive).

It is used to discuss all aspects of GNU Ghostscript, including development and porting.

Discussion about GNU Ghostscript and Ghostview can be found in the
USENET gnu.ghostscript.bug newsgroup.

• GV allows to view and navigate
  through PostScript and PDF documents on an X display by
  providing a user interface for the ghostscript interpreter.

Возможности [ править | править код ]

Ghostscript может осуществлять конвертирование файлов PostScript в файлы различных графических форматов, выводить на дисплей интерпретированное содержимое и осуществлять печать на принтерах не поддерживающих PostScript; часто используется как «виртуальный принтер» для создания документов в формате PDF или PostScript из программ, не поддерживающих конвертирование в эти форматы.

Может использоваться как процессор растровых изображений (RIP) для растровых компьютерных принтеров — например, как входной фильтр для LPD — или как механизм RIP для программ просмотра PDF или PostScript.

Поскольку Ghostscript является интерпретатором языка, то он может также использоваться в качестве универсальной среды программирования. Ghostscript был перенесён на многие операционные системы, включая Unix, Linux, Mac OS, OpenVMS, Microsoft Windows, MS-DOS, FreeDOS, OS/2 и AmigaOS.

GhostPDL

Historically, we’ve used GhostPDL as an umbrella term to encompass our entire line of products. We’ve now brought all these disparate products together into a single package, called, appropriately enough, GhostPDL.

When running on a printer (or server) GhostPDL now automatically detects the type of data being fed to it and processes it accordingly. The individual interpreters all plug into a top-level module that handles both automatic language detection and Printer Job Language (PJL) based configuration.

The exact set of interpreters present in an installation can be tuned by the integrator for their specific product/use cases.

In addition to our existing PDL modules (PS, PDF, PCL, PXL, and XPS) we have now added new modules to handle a range of common image formats. With these installed, GhostPDL will handle JPEGs (both JFIF and EXIF), PWGs, TIFFs, PNGs, JBIG2s, and JPEG2000s.

GhostPDL is available both under the GNU Affero GPL license
and for commercial licensing
from Artifex.

The source code for GhostPDL can be found on
here.

A full example

The file in the Ghostscript fileset is a complete
example program that initializes the library and produces output using it;
files named (such as
and ) are makefiles using
as the main program. The following annotated excerpts from this file are
intended to provide a roadmap for applications that call the library.

Any application using Ghostscript should include the fragment above at the
very beginning of the main program.

The header includes a wealth of declarations related
to the Ghostscript memory manager, portability machinery, debugging
framework, and other substrate facilities. Any application file that calls
any Ghostscript API functions should probably include .

The externs above are needed for initializing the library.

The code above initializes the library and its memory manager. now
points to the graphics state that will be passed to the drawing routines in
the library.

The code above initializes the default device and sets a default halftone
screen. (For brevity, we have omitted the definition of odsf, the spot
function.)

The call above completes initializing the graphics state. When the program
is finished, it should execute:

Types

Type		Declared /defined in		Represents
				A character code that appears in a string. Currently it is always a single byte, but composite fonts or Unicode may require it to be wider in the future.
				A character name like «period» or «epsilon». From the xfont implementation’s point of view, it is just a handle; when necessary, Ghostscript provides a procedure to convert it to a string name.
				A procedure that maps a to its string name; see the procedure.
				A character or glyph code that can be used with a specific platform font. Normally it will be a character code that the implementation of will turn into a 1-character string and give to the platform’s «display string» operation.
		,		The xfont analogue of , the type of the procedure record that defines an xfont implementation.
		,		The gxfont analogue of , the type of the basic structure for an xfont.
()				Not really a type, although it probably should be: an used to indicate the used by a font. Defined values are 1 2 3 -1 Other encoding

Performance.

Incremental loading for CIDFontType 2 and TrueType fonts.

There is one other type of CID-keyed font that should also be
loaded incrementally: CFF CIDFontType0, i.e., a CIDFontType 0
font represented using the compact binary CFF format. This is
important because this is one of the two variants of Asian OpenType
fonts (the other is essentially the same as TrueType). Ghostscript
already supports both of these OpenType variants, but not with
incremental loading.

Bug #223992, November 30, 2000.

We suggest that anyone who would like to work on this project
start by looking at how CIDFontType 0 fonts do incremental loading
(lib/gs_cidfn.ps and psi/zfcid0.c). Probably much of this
code can be also be used with CIDFontType 2 and TrueType fonts.

Ghostscript

Ghostscript is an interpreter for PostScript and Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

Ghostscript consists of a PostScript interpreter layer, and a graphics library. The graphics library is shared with all the other products in the Ghostscript family, so all of these technologies are sometimes referred to as Ghostscript, rather than the more correct GhostPDL.

Binaries for Ghostscript and (seel below) GhostPDF (included in the Ghostscript binaries) for various systems can be downloaded from here.
The source can be found in both the Ghostscript and GhostPDL downloads from
the same site.

The Ghostscript library

This document describes the Ghostscript library, a set of procedures
to implement the graphics and filtering capabilities that are primitive
operations in the PostScript language and in Adobe Portable Document Format
(PDF).

Ghostscript is actually two programs: a language interpreter, and a
graphics library. The library provides, in the form of C procedures, all
the graphics functions of the language, that is, approximately those
facilities listed in section 8.1 of the PostScript
Language Reference Manual, starting with the
graphics state operators. In addition, the library provides some
lower-level graphics facilities that offer higher performance in exchange
for less generality.

Presence on the World Wide Web

Ghostscript’s home page

Ghostscript has a home page on the World Wide Web with helpful information
such as the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):

Adobe PostScript, Encapsulated
PostScript, and PDF reference documentation

Adobe makes a wealth of technical documentation available over the Web,
including the

PostScript Language Reference Manual (Third Edition); the

Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) Format Specification version 3, including

format; the
PDF Reference manuals.
The Acrobat SDK contains

pdfmark and Acrobat Distiller parameters documentation.
Some of these documents
are also available at Adobe’s ftp
site, but not necessarily under the same filenames.

Other material on the WWW

Much other material about Ghostscript is available on the World Wide Web,
both as web pages and as archived Usenet and mailing list discussions. Use
the well-known search engines to find such material.

Introduction

Ghostscript can use the character rasterizer provided by the underlying
operating system and window system; specifically, Adobe Type Manager (ATM)
or a TrueType rasterizer under MS Windows, or the facilities provided by X
Windows. This ability augments, but does not replace, Ghostscript’s own
Type 1 rasterizer: Ghostscript may still use its own rasterizer for very
large characters, characters that are clipped or transformed in unusual
ways, and for output to devices other than the screen.

Ghostscript connects to these platform facilities through a driver-like
interface called the xfont (external font) interface. Current xfont
implementations are associated directly with device drivers; in a future
release, Ghostscript may separate them, so that (for example) it will be
possible to use the platform rasterizer when writing to a file.

Please note that from this point, this file is likely to be useful only
to a small number of Ghostscript porters and implementors.

Бесплатные шрифты

Для Ghostscript поставляется несколько наборов бесплатных шрифтов, которые должны быть метрически совместимы с общими шрифтами, прилагаемыми к стандарту PostScript. Это включает:

• 35 базовых предоставленных URW ++ Design and Development Incorporated из Гамбурга, Германия, в 1996 г. по лицензиям GPL и AFPL . Это полный набор шрифтов, аналогичный классическому набору Adobe: Bookman L ( Bookman ), Century Schoolbook L ( New Century Schoolbook ), Chancery L ( Zapf Chancery ), Dingbats ( Zapf Dingbats ), Gothic L ( Avant Garde ), Nimbus Mono. L ( курьер ), Nimbus Roman No9 L ( Times ), Nimbus Sans L ( Helvetica ), Palladio L ( Palatino ), стандартные символы L ( символ ) в форматах Type1, TrueType и OpenType.
• Пакет GhostPDL (включая Ghostscript, а также сопутствующие реализации HP PCL и Microsoft XPS ) включает дополнительные шрифты в рамках AFPL, которые запрещают коммерческое использование. Он включает версии URW ++ Garamond (Garamond No. 8), Optima (URW Classico), Arial (A030), Antique Olive и Univers (U001), Clarendon , Coronet , Letter Gothic , а также URW Mauritius и измененную форму Альбертус, известный как A028. В сочетании с базовым набором они составляют немногим более половины стандартного набора шрифтов PostScript 3.
• Разный набор, включающий кириллицу , кана и шрифты, полученные из бесплатных шрифтов Hershey, с улучшениями Томаса Вольфа (например, добавлением акцентированных символов).

Шрифты Ghostscript были разработаны в формате PostScript Type 1, но были преобразованы в формат TrueType, пригодный для использования большинством современных программ, и часто используются в сообществе разработчиков ПО с открытым исходным кодом. Дополнительно был улучшен шрифт Garamond. 35 основных шрифтов URW были впоследствии включены в GNU FreeFont и TeX Gyre .
