Explanation:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
: This is the PostScript header, indicating the version of PostScript being used. It’s good practice to include this./Helvetica findfont 12 scalefont
: This line defines a font./Helvetica
: Specifies the font name (Helvetica).findfont
: Finds the specified font.12
: Sets the font size to 12 points.scalefont
: Applies the scaling factor.
gsave
: This command saves the current graphics state. This is important so that changes to the state (like the current font or current color) don’t affect the rest of the script.0 600 translate
: This moves the origin of the coordinate system to (0, 600). This puts the top of the page at y=600, allowing us to position the text correctly.0 0 rotate
: Rotates the coordinate system 0 degrees (i.e., no rotation). Without this, the text would be oriented differently.(Hello World!)
: This is the actual text string to be drawn. The parentheses are necessary to enclose the string.show
: This command tells PostScript to draw the text using the currently defined font and size.grestore
: This restores the graphics state to what it was before thegsave
command was executed. This is crucial for maintaining a clean and predictable PostScript environment. It undoes all the changes made within thegsave
/grestore
block.
How to run this PostScript code:
You’ll need a PostScript interpreter or viewer to run this code. Here are a few options:
- Ghostscript: A popular and versatile PostScript interpreter. You can run it from the command line:
gs your_script.ps
(replaceyour_script.ps
with the actual name of your file). - MuPDF: Another option for running PostScript files.
mupdf your_script.ps
- Online PostScript Interpreters: There are websites that provide online PostScript interpreters. Just search for “PostScript interpreter online”.
This code will output “Hello World!” in a window or document depending on the interpreter/viewer used.
