ps_new - Creates a new PostScript document object

       resource ps_new (void  )

DESCRIPTION

	Creates  a  new document instance. It does not create the file on disk or in memory, it just sets up everything. ps_new(3) is usually fol-

RETURN VALUES

	Resource of PostScript document or FALSE on failure. The return value is passed to all other functions as the first argument.

SEE ALSO

       ps_delete(3).

";
		   exit;
	      }

	      ps_set_info($ps, "Creator", "polydash.php");

	      ps_lineto($ps, 200, 200);
	      ps_stroke($ps);
	      ps_end_page($ps);

	      ps_delete($ps);
