Hi there, I'm experimenting with PIL to create a PostScript file. The end result should be an EPS file with a couple of bar graphs.
At this moment, I have a very simple piece of code: ps = PIL.PSDraw.PSDraw(file('demo.ps', 'w')) ps.begin_document() ps.rectangle((0, 0, 650, 150)) ps.end_document() Unfortunately, when looking at 'demo.ps' using ghostview, I see an empty page. This feeling of 'emptyness' is augmented by 'ps2epsi', which tells me: $ ps2epsi demo.ps blank page!! Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've just started to use PIL, so if there is something better to create EPS files, please let me know!
