# Chapter 6. The PLplot Output Driver Family

Drivers which produce output files are described in this chapter. Each of the drivers has a list of options, and these may be set as outlined in the Section called Command Line Arguments in Chapter 3.

# The Postscript Driver

The Postscript driver produces publication-quality postscript output. The driver provides two devices: the ps device for black-and-white plots, and the psc device for color plots.

This driver is unicode enabled, and PostScript Type I fonts are used. Type I fonts do not have all of the available unicode symbols represented. For this reason, Hershey fonts are used for drawing symbols by default, unless specified otherwise using the driver options.

The available driver options are:

- text: Use Postscript text (0|1); default 1

- hrshsym: Use Hershey fonts for symbols (0|1); default 1
