flexfax: Re: Faxcover Comments

[Robert Colquhoun <rjc@trump.net.au>]

Hi,

For 4.1 ( or 4.0 with a patch from http://www.hylafax.org/patches/) allows 
you to specify lines of comments thus:
         $ sendfax -c "This is line 1\n This is line 2\nThis is line 3" -d 
12345678 myfax.ps

For 4.1 in the faxcover.ps file itself you need some postscript code to 
display the comments, this can be done 2 ways:

1) Use BreakIntoLines
Some postscript code like:
/Helvetica-Bold-SHOWISO findfont 24 scalefont setfont  <---set the font for 
the comments
/linewidth 300 def <----use to set width of line in points
/lineheight 29 def  <----use to set height of line in points
/y 189 def /x 141.336 def <----set the initial coordinates
linewidth lineheight x y comments BreakIntoLines <-call proc


2) Use CommentsX parameters
Some code like the following:
/Helvetica-Bold-SHOWISO findfont 24 scalefont setfont  <---set the font for 
the comments
9 comments BreakIntoCommentsX  <-----break comments into Comment1..Comment9
100 125 moveto Comment1 show  <----draw first comment line on screen at 
(100,125)
100 100 moveto Comment2 show  <----draw second comment line on screen at 
(100,100)
....
