Hi, learning postscript is an excellent thing to do. The blue and red books are really really well written. Just reading these is a lesson in how to write good clear documentation.
knowing a bit of postscript is quite useful - there are times when it is necessary to transform graphics manually. One particular example is when you deal with postscript figures in LaTeX. Some postscript generation programs generate incorrect boundingboxes, and this makes the encapsulation of the figure in LaTeX plain difficult. > So you like inflicting pain on yourself?
