RiePS Postscript Library

RiePS is a LGPL library which generates postscript output. It's hosted by sourceforge at : http://sourceforge.net/projects/rieps
You could download the very last svn snapshoot by :

svn co https://rieps.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rieps/

To see the last logs of the project :

svn log https://rieps.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rieps/

Here is the example given with the library. It shows how to use the API : http://rieps.free.fr/resources/tmp/VerySimpleExample.java.html , and its output : http://rieps.free.fr/resources/tmp/VerySimpleExample.ps

This project is very new, so send me a mail if you have tested it to tell me what is good and/or wrong. Thank you. (yvespiel (AT) gmail dot com)

You can download java source code (as a netbeans project) here. But, at this time, you should prefer to download subversion tree as explained above.

The project is in very early release. There is a little example into source code which can give idea on how it works. To test the library do the following :

download the .tgz archive
untar it : tar -xzf rieps_xxx.tgz
launch netbeans 5.5 and open the project directory which is : untar_path/rieps/trunk/dvlpt/netbeans/rieps
build it
then run : java -cp dist/rieps.jar com.rie.rieps.simpletest.GenPSFile output.ps
and to see the output you can use ghostscript for example : gs -sDEVICE=x11 output.ps (ENTER to go to next page)

You must use java 6 (Howto configure netbeans 5.5 to use java6 : howto_nb5.5_java6).

I'm developping a new output for jasperreports which is based on RiePS. I want to be able to generate a postscript output from a jasper report and well configure the print job with postscript device options. There you could find an example on how, at this time, my jasper export module works jasper_output_example.
