Hello,

me too. I think the internationalization of the libary is buggy. I am
working on a computer with a German language setting. So in the
postscript output all decimals are seperated with "," and not with
".". Maybe this can be your problem.
By the way can anybody tell me to change the localization from DE to
US ???

Best regards

Michael

Work fine for me with Linux, Win2k and XP.

To run the example on Windows just remove "uses Unix;" and comment out
the line "Shell(format('kghostview ..." near the end of the file.

As noted the decimal character must be a dot '.', using a coma ','
produce an invalid postscript file.
Just add "decimalseparator:='.';" anywhere in the project
initialization (mainform.create is a good place). This is exactly the
same as with Delphi.
