- please make a chapter explaining landscape vs. portrait issues
also you should add links to correct postscript files in every format
and both in landscape and portrait. and commands to print these files.
i.e. do you have to add -olandscape for the correct landscape files???
you should explain how to detect if a file is landscape or portrait and
how to find out if the -olandscape option is needed or not.
also you should make clear that there are 2 possibilities for making
landscape files. one is rotate the paper size, the other is
the %%Orientation: Landscape comment in the DSC header. since there is
lacking good documentation on making good postscript files,
many programs output wrong landscape files... in case a landscape file
is wrong, you can still print it with this and that option....
