ps_begin_template

PS_BEGIN_TEMPLATE(3)					     Library Functions Manual					      PS_BEGIN_TEMPLATE(3)

NAME

       PS_begin_template -- Starts a new template

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pslib.h>

       int PS_begin_template(PSDoc *psdoc, float width, float height)

DESCRIPTION

       Starts a new template which must be ended by PS_end_template(3). Templates are similar to macros which can be placed on a page like images.
       Within a template one can call any drawing function. Once a template has been ended by PS_end_template(3) it can be placed  on  a  page	by
       PS_place_image(3). Templates are commonly used for repeating objects like page headers in order to minimize the document size.

       If  image  reuse  is not turned off (since version 0.4.5 of pslib it is always turned on), PS_place_image(3)		may also be called
       within a template in order to include eps or raster images.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns an id for referencing the template.
