4/// An example how to display PS, EPS, PDF files in canvas.
5/// To load a PS file in a TCanvas, the ghostscript program needs to be install.
6/// - On most unix systems it is installed by default.
7/// - On Windows it has to be installed from http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
8/// also the place where gswin32c.exe sits should be added in the PATH. One
9/// way to do it is:
10/// 1. Start the Control Panel
11/// 2. Double click on System
12/// 3, Open the "Advanced" tab
13/// 4. Click on the "Environment Variables" button
14/// 5. Find "Path" in "System variable list", click on it.
15/// 6. Click on the "Edit" button.
16/// 7. In the "Variable value" field add the path of gswin32c
17/// (after a ";") it should be something like:
18/// "C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.13\bin"
19/// 8. click "OK" as much as needed.
