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