PostScript programs
Most people probably associate PostScript with a feature sometimes used on printers. However, PostScript is more than simply a way of printing documents, and in fact constitutes a complete programming language, of course with focus on graphical description but also capable of performing computing tasks as well.
In this section you will find some of my programs which either are written directly in PostScript (using a regular text editor) or generate PostScript code for printing.
EPSBB, Revision 1.1
[05/08/2004]
A program for the extraction of bounding box coordinates of Encapsulated
PostScript (EPS) images.
This is a home-made successor of the epsbb program which in many
older UNIX systems was included in the standard distribution, but evidently
not in more recent variants such as Free BSD and Mac OS X.

kochflake.ps, Revision 1.0
[14/08/1996]
The kochflake.ps PostScript program illustrates how to write compact
recursive code for the display of graphics, in this case the Koch
»snowflake» fractal, originally published in 1904 by the
Swedish mathematician
Helge von Koch
(1870-1924). The program employs plain tail recursion
directly in PostScript Level 2.
