cairoPsSurfaceCreate: cairoPsSurfaceCreate

In RGtk2: R Bindings for Gtk 2.8.0 and Above

Description

Creates a PostScript surface of the specified size in points to be written to filename. See cairoPsSurfaceCreateForStream for a more flexible mechanism for handling the PostScript output than simply writing it to a named file.

Usage

cairoPsSurfaceCreate(filename, width.in.points, height.in.points)

Arguments

filename	[char] a filename for the PS output (must be writable), NULL may be used to specify no output. This will generate a PS surface that may be queried and used as a source, without generating a temporary file.
width.in.points	[numeric] width of the surface, in points (1 point == 1/72.0 inch)
height.in.points	[numeric] height of the surface, in points (1 point == 1/72.0 inch)

Details

Note that the size of individual pages of the PostScript output can vary. See cairoPsSurfaceSetSize. Since 1.2

Value

[CairoSurface] a pointer to the newly created surface. The caller owns the surface and should call cairoSurfaceDestroy when done with it. This function always returns a valid pointer, but it will return a pointer to a "nil" surface if an error such as out of memory occurs. You can use cairoSurfaceStatus to check for this.
