ps_get_parameter Gets certain parameters &reftitle.description; stringps_get_parameter resourcepsdoc stringname floatmodifier Gets several parameters which were directly set by ps_set_parameter or indirectly by one of the other functions. Parameters are by definition string values. This function cannot be used to retrieve resources which were also set by ps_set_parameter. The parameter name can have the following values. fontname The name of the currently active font or the font whose identifier is passed in parameter modifier. fontencoding The encoding of the currently active font. dottedversion The version of the underlying pslib library in the format <major>.<minor>.<subminor> scope The current drawing scope. Can be object, document, null, page, pattern, path, template, prolog, font, glyph. ligaturedisolvechar The character which dissolves a ligature. If your are using a font which contains the ligature `ff' and `|' is the char to dissolve the ligature, then `f|f' will result in two `f' instead of the ligature `ff'. imageencoding The encoding used for encoding images. Can be either hex or 85. hex encoding uses two bytes in the postscript file each byte in the image. 85 stand for Ascii85 encoding. linenumbermode Set to paragraph if lines are numbered within a paragraph or box if they are numbered within the surrounding box. linebreak Only used if text is output with ps_show_boxed. If set to true a carriage return will add a line break. parbreak Only used if text is output with ps_show_boxed. If set to true a carriage return will start a new paragraph. hyphenation Only used if text is output with ps_show_boxed. If set to true the paragraph will be hyphenated if a hypen dictionary is set and exists. hyphendict Filename of the dictionary used for hyphenation pattern. &reftitle.parameters; psdoc Resource identifier of the postscript file as returned by ps_new. name Name of the parameter. modifier An identifier needed if a parameter of a resource is requested, e.g. the size of an image. In such a case the resource id is passed. &reftitle.returnvalues; Returns the value of the parameter &return.falseforfailure;. &reftitle.seealso; ps_set_parameter
