Help on method postscript:

This is from interactive help.

That method, following your lead, is how I got to .postscript.
The doc says
" Return the Canvas of this TurtleScreen. Useful for insiders who know
what to do with a Tkinter Canvas."
The module is a bit messy, but the accompanying documentation seems OK to
me.
?? I am not an 'insider' ;-).
I did not see anything similar in the list of
about 100 attributes.
Of Canvas, mostly methods. I can understand that no one who could write
decent doc strings for the 100 methods has actually volunteered to do so.
The image_type of the canvas is 'photo bitmap' but
I see no method to write that.
That's probably a bitmap that you can draw on the canvas. The Canvas is
actually that of Tkinter, and according to
http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/canvas.htm#M59
it writes Encapsulated Postscript 3.0. Also:
$ file tmp.ps
tmp.ps: PostScript document text conforming DSC level 3.0, type EPS
Try changing the file extension from .ps to .eps.
I will. Thank you.
