PostScript page description language

PostScript page description language(PS File)

Outputs a type of postscript file known as vector postscript file. Consequently, the object displayed in the display window is not output as an image but as a set of commands that define primitives such as lines and text and a set of commands that define lights and cameras. This file can then be printed in a Postscript printer to generate a high-quality image with no jaggies etc.

However, the following functions are not supported.

-Depth-cueing
-Spheres
-Images
-Volume Rendering
-Texture Mapping
-Transparency
All this is output as just an image.
