tail A {page description language } based
on work originally done by John Gaffney at Evans and
Sutherland in 1976 , evolving through "JaM " ("John and Martin ",
Martin Newell ) at {XEROX PARC }, and finally implemented in its
current form by John Warnock et al . after he and Chuck Geschke
founded {Adobe Systems , Inc .} in 1982 .
PostScript is an {interpreted }, {stack -based language } (like
FORTH }). It was used as a page description language by the
Apple LaserWriter }, and now many {laser printers } and
on -screen graphics systems . Its primary application is to
describe the appearance of text , graphical shapes , and sampled
images } on printed or displayed pages .
A program in PostScript can communicate a document description
from a composition system to a printing system in a
device -independent way .
PostScript is an unusually powerful printer language because
it is a full programming language , rather than a series of
low -level escape sequences . (In this it parallels {Emacs },
which exploited a similar insight about editing tasks ). It is
also noteworthy for implementing on -the fly {rasterisation },
from {Bezier curve } descriptions , of high -quality {fonts } at
low (e .g . 300 dpi ) resolution (it was formerly believed that
hand -tuned {bitmap fonts } were required for this task ).
PostScript 's combination of technical merits and widespread
availability made it the language of choice for graphical
output until {PDF } appeared .
The {Postscript point }, 1 /72 inch , is slightly different from
other {point } units .

PostScript gets its leverage by using a full programming language ,
rather than a series of low -
level escape sequences ,
to describe an image to be printed on a laser printer or other output device (
in this it parallels EMACS ,
which exploited a similar insight about editing tasks ).
It is also noteworthy for implementing on -

of high -
quality fonts at low (

Hackers consider PostScript to be among the most elegant hacks of all time ,
and the combination of technical merits and widespread availability has made PostScript the language of choice for graphical output .
