4 /// An example how to display PS, EPS, PDF files in canvas.
5 /// To load a PS file in a TCanvas, the ghostscript program needs to be install.
6 /// - On most unix systems it is installed by default.
7 /// - On Windows it has to be installed from http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
8 /// also the place where gswin32c.exe sits should be added in the PATH. One
9 /// way to do it is:
10 /// 1. Start the Control Panel
11 /// 2. Double click on System
12 /// 3, Open the "Advanced" tab
13 /// 4. Click on the "Environment Variables" button
14 /// 5. Find "Path" in "System variable list", click on it.
15 /// 6. Click on the "Edit" button.
16 /// 7. In the "Variable value" field add the path of gswin32c
17 /// (after a ";") it should be something like:
18 /// "C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.13\bin"
19 /// 8. click "OK" as much as needed.
