NAMEPS_place_image — Places image on the page
SYNOPSIS
#include <pslib.h>
void PS_place_image(PSDoc *psdoc, int imageid, float x, float y, float
scale)
DESCRIPTION
Places a formerly loaded image at the current point on the page.
The image is scaled if x and y have values
unequal to 1.
The image data is ascii85 encoding which is only 20 percent larger
than the raw binary data of the image (The binary data is
not equal to the file size but somewhat smaller, because
the file also contains an image header.). You can turn
on hex encoding by setting the parameter `imageencoding'
to `hex'. Hex encoding doubles the size of the image
data.
Since version 0.4.5 of pslib images are fully read and saved
into the output postscript file when they are opened
with PS_open_image(3) or
PS_open_image_file(3). Later calls of
PS_place_image(3) just replay the image.
This behaviour can be turned off by setting the parame‐
ter `imagereuse' to false with PS_set_parameter(3).
If image reuse is not turned of, this function may be called
within a template.
