+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedures are called by canvas type managers to carry out
+common functions related to generating Postscript.
+Most of the procedures take a \fIcanvas\fR argument, which
+refers to a canvas widget for which Postscript is being
+generated.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasY\fR takes as argument a y-coordinate in the space of
+a canvas and returns the value that should be used for that point
+in the Postscript currently being generated for \fIcanvas\fR.
+Y coordinates require transformation because Postscript uses an
+origin at the lower-left corner whereas X uses an origin at the
+upper-left corner.
+Canvas x coordinates can be used directly in Postscript without
+transformation.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasPsBitmap\fR generates Postscript to describe a region
+of a bitmap.
+The Postscript is generated in proper image data format for Postscript,
+i.e., as data between angle brackets, one bit per pixel.
+The Postscript is appended to \fIinterp->result\fR and TCL_OK is returned
+unless an error occurs, in which case TCL_ERROR is returned and
+\fIinterp->result\fR is overwritten with an error message.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasPsColor\fR generates Postscript to set the current color
+to correspond to its \fIcolorPtr\fR argument, taking into account any
+color map specified in the \fBpostscript\fR command.
+It appends the Postscript to \fIinterp->result\fR and returns
+TCL_OK unless an error occurs, in which case TCL_ERROR is returned and
+\fIinterp->result\fR is overwritten with an error message.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasPsFont\fR generates Postscript that sets the current font
+to match \fIfontStructPtr\fR as closely as possible.
+\fBTk_CanvasPsFont\fR takes into account any font map specified
+in the \fBpostscript\fR command, and it does
+the best it can at mapping X fonts to Postscript fonts.
+It appends the Postscript to \fIinterp->result\fR and returns TCL_OK
+unless an error occurs, in which case TCL_ERROR is returned and
+\fIinterp->result\fR is overwritten with an error message.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasPsPath\fR generates Postscript to set the current path
+to the set of points given by \fIcoordPtr\fR and \fInumPoints\fR.
+It appends the resulting Postscript to \fIinterp->result\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasPsStipple\fR generates Postscript that will fill the
+current path in stippled fashion.
+It uses \fIbitmap\fR as the stipple pattern and the current Postscript
+color; ones in the stipple bitmap are drawn in the current color, and
+zeroes are not drawn at all.
+The Postscript is appended to \fIinterp->result\fR and TCL_OK is
+returned, unless an error occurs, in which case TCL_ERROR is returned and
+\fIinterp->result\fR is overwritten with an error message.
