Looking for a good Postscript IDE
Does anyone know of a good IDE for developing Postscript? Something with good syntax highlighting, debugging/viewing stack contents, as well as rendering to screen would be ideal. Code completion would also be nice to have. Thanks.- bengR

FileName with trailing Pipe
Two things: 1. First you will need to quote the file name so your shell knows that you are not trying to pipe test.pl's output: ./test.pl "fileOne|" 2. Second, you should use the 3 argument mode of open. Something like: open FILE, '<', $opF or die "$!"; -

Representing character information in a compressed bitmap font
I am creating a custom compressed bitmap font (class 2) and I need some clarification as to how the character data is represented. Assuming the following character: width - 8 height - 8 binary character data: 01000001 01000001 01000001 01000001 01000001 01000001 01000001 01000001 After... -
Removing trailing zeros from a float up to and including the '.'
Thanks prex1. That works great, even on BigFloat numbers. -
Removing trailing zeros from a float up to and including the '.'
I am using Active Perl 5.8.8. I am trying to remove trailing zeros from floating point numbers. I also want to remove the decimal point if there is no decimal component. eg 1.100 => 1.1 2.020 => 2.02 3.003 => 3.003 4.000 => 4 This is what I have: { no warnings 'uninitialized'; $_ =~... -
binary conversion
Printf will perform decimal to binary conversions without any extra code: #!/usr/local/bin/perl ##open(DAT, "<", "datafile.txt") || die("Could not open file!\n$!\n"); # uncomment when ready open(FILE, ">", "output.txt") || die("Could not open file!\n$!\n"); while (<DATA>) # change to 'DAT'... -
binary conversion
What output are you expecting to the file? Do you want to print the same text to the file as is printing to the console? What does "datfile.txt" contain? At first glance it looks like you are doing a lot of unnecessary work shifting bits when printf will convert the numbers to binary... -

Parsing HPGL Plotter commands - sanity check
Aha! I knew I was making a silly logic error somewhere! Thank you for your help Annihilannic. I changed peek() to the following, which works as expected: sub peek { my ($nextChar) = @_; my ($pos, $nextRecord); $pos = tell DATA; $nextRecord = <DATA>; seek (DATA, $pos, 0)... -
Parsing HPGL Plotter commands - sanity check
Here is a commented version of the code. This should (hopefully) be clearer. (Please note that the offsets will be incorrect now). #! /usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use constant OFFSET => 3_050; { local $/ = \1; my ($pos, $line, $command, $value); # dispatch table... -
Parsing HPGL Plotter commands - sanity check
I am running perl v5.8.0 on Windows Vista via ActiveState perl build 824. The following code parses HPGL commands out of a print stream and prints the command's offset in the file, the command, and any parameters. The code compiles without any errors or warnings when I run "perl -c hpgl2.pl"...
