![]() Paper-based reports
Paper continues to play an essential role
for meeting materials and reports.
Fortunately, ploticus can create attractive data displays on paper,
using vector graphics and PoscScript fonts, and control over page layout
and pagination.
Pre-press workThis is discussed here.Supported printer languages
Ploticus can generate paginated PostScript or
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS).
Use the -ps command line option to get paginated PostScript;
use -eps for EPS.
Paginated PostScript may be sent directly to printers and
may contain multiple pages. EPS generally contains one picture or figure;
it may be printed directly or it may be imported by other software applications.
Image import
Another way to work is to create PNG,
SVG
, or GIF files with ploticus,
and import these into your document.
ConsiderationsHere are some issues that come into play with paper-based reports:
