% helper file to simplify use of Stochastic Halftone - uses ht_ccsto.ps
|
|
|
|
% This file sets the /StochasticDefault /Halftone as the current
|
|
% and the /Default halftoning, loading the Stochastic halftone
|
|
% if required.
|
|
|
|
% Stochastic halftoning is recommended for inkjet printers, and may
|
|
% produce output as pleasing as the more computationally expensive
|
|
% "error diffusion" that *some* device drivers provide.
|
|
|
|
% For printing technologies other than inkjet, Stochastic halftoning
|
|
% may not look better than standard screening. In particular, thermal
|
|
% transfer and direct thermal tend to be better with standard ordered
|
|
% screening methods. Some laser printers may produce "smoother"
|
|
% looking gray shades with Stochastic halftoning. Try it, and if
|
|
% you like it, use it.
|
|
|
|
% Note that this /Default halftone can be overridden by PostScript
|
|
% operators that set the screening or halftone (such as setscreen).
|
|
|
|
% To make Stochastic Halftone be "sticky" so that other screening and
|
|
% halftone setting in the subsequent PostScript will be ignored, use:
|
|
% -c "<< /HalftoneMode 1 >> setuserparams"
|
|
% on the command line prior to the file to be processed. For example,
|
|
%
|
|
% gs stocht.ps -c "<< /HalftoneMode 1 >> setuserparams" -f examples/tiger.eps
|
|
|
|
% Alternatively, the command to set the /HalftoneMode userparam can be
|
|
% concatenated to this file (see below).
