edit] How to debug a PostScript program?

PostScript FAQ - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textb...
The first skill you should learn as soon as you can is how to interpret PostScript error messages. They are not always easy. Error reporting varies by product. Some products will not give PostScript error details (e.g. EPS import to Photoshop), and are best avoided for any learning purposes.

edit] Q: Something bad happened; how can I help debug?

FAQ - GnuCash
In order to get more detail, open a Terminal from your system menu, and start gnucash at the prompt; this is almost always done by typing simply "gnucash" at the prompt. Save the detail emitted to the terminal (if any), as well as the contents of the /tmp/gnucash.trace file. edit] Q: I think I found a bug. How do I report it? A: First of all, try to verify that it is indeed a bug and that it has not been reported before.

edit] How to report a PostScript error?

PostScript FAQ - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textb...
Unfortunately little can be done without the sample file and detailed description of the problem. Please generate and submit the PostScript file - that's what PostScript programmers know the best. If possible, create a small file: delete insignificant objects in your graphic application and choose small images. Don't submit native application files. Most likely PostScript programmers don't have your applications.

edit] Do I need a PostScript printer?

PostScript FAQ - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textb...
Software RIP with a non-PostScript printer is becoming a good alternative to a PostScript printer. Unlike built-in RIP the software and hardware can be easily upgraded. The host OS also provides a better debugging environment.

edit] How to justify text in PostScript?

PostScript FAQ - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textb...
The common approach is to do text formatting in an application. The application emits PostScript code reflecting the final format - now a simple question of dumping things at x, y coordinates. If an application overrides the default interword/interletter spacing (say, for justification or kerning), it should use PostScript's ashow, widthshow, awidthshow, kshow, xshow, yshow, or xyshow operators, which take an intact text string and a separate specification for positioning the elements.

What is PostScript?

Priority Copy: FAQ
PostScript is a Page Description Language (PDL) - in other words, the PostScript code described everything you see printed on the page including graphics, text and layout. When properly created (see the Instructions page for step-by-step instructions), PostScript contains everything needed to print a given document. Another PDL is called Hewlett-Packard Print Command Language (HP-PCL).

Prepress FAQ - Central Plains Book Manufacturing
Developed by Adobe Systems, it is a programming language that is independent of any layout software. To understand the main advantages of postscript, you must be aware of the differences between vector graphics and bitmapped graphics. Postscript is an object oriented language -- it responds to text and graphics as collections of geometrical objects, not a bit map. For instance, printing a postscript graphic on a 600 dpi laser printer will look much better than on a 300 dpi laser printer.

PostScript interpreters include: In fact this will check correctness of the PostScript program only on the interpreter where it has been tested.

edit] How to recombine plates in preseparated PostScript file?

PostScript FAQ - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textb...
It is very simple to rasterize the pages and recombine the pages into the composite file. Rasterization can be done at 8 bit per plane or 1 bit per plane depending whether any color correction is desired for the composite image. Merging the planes on vector level is much more difficult. The only known tool for this job is the Seps2Comp Acrobat plug-in from Creo (now discontinued and unsupported).

edit] How to extract figures from PostScript files?

PostScript FAQ - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textb...
Figures in PostScript document are often included as EPS files and can be easily extracted with a text editor. In the DSC-conforming document the EPS file is framed by using a text editor. %%BeginDocument ... %%EndDocument EPS files extracted from the PostScript file don't have a preview, which can be re-generated with Ghostscript. If you can run perl, look for bw_convert, a tiny perl script that will change every RGB color declaration in a PostScript file to a black or grey value.

Do I need to build the program with debug to trace it?

RootCause/Aprobe FAQ
No, but for non-Java programs it helps. The suggested compromise is to build it with debug, develop your traces, then strip the debug information when shipping the product. This is fully discussed in Chapter 6 of RootCause for C++ User's Guide, "Building a Traceable Application".

PostScript FAQ - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textb...
Sometimes it is impossible to re-create the file as 7-bit ASCII but any file is easy to convert to ASCII stream and execute it through the corresponding decoding filter. The following script converts standard input to hexadecimal stream and adds the decoding code. All DSC comments will be hidden but most printers ignore them anyway. The script was tested on bash and GNU/Linux system.

Anchor(gen_dbg)]]How can I debug my Java program?

GCJ FAQ - GCC Wiki
GDB 5.0 includes support for debugging GCJ-compiled Java programs. For more information please read Java Debugging with GDB. libgcj has a bytecode interpreter that allows you to mix .class files with compiled code. It works pretty transparently: if a compiled version of a class is not found in the application binary or linked shared libraries, the class loader will search for a bytecode version in your classpath, much like a VM would.
