NAME

idraw_reader - generate models from IDRAW Postscript files

DESCRIPTION

The idraw_reader class interprets a subset of the information in an IDRAW PostScript file and generates a model contained in a display_data object. Polygons, polylines, ellipses, rectangles, open and closed bezier splines, and grouped objects are understood. Note that the idraw_reader object understands tokens inserted in a PostScript file generated by IDRAW. It does not interpret PostScript. This class obsoletes the idraw_modeller and idraw_data classes.

SUPERCLASS

INSTANCE VARIABLES
