Write image to PostScript file (in dipIO)

SYNOPSIS

#include "dipio_ps.h"

dip_Error dipio_ImageWritePS ( image, filename, photometric, caption, xcm, ycm, border )

FUNCTION

This function writes the image to a PostScript file, overwriting any other file with the same name. Set the image size in xcm and ycm. border sets the size of the border around the image. If border is 0, no border is drawn. You can give the page a title through caption. For colour images, set photometric (supported are RGB and CMYK) and write the colour channels along the third image dimension.
