NAMEPS_begin_template — Starts a new template
SYNOPSIS
#include <pslib.h>
int PS_begin_template(PSDoc *psdoc, float width, float height)
DESCRIPTION
Starts a new template which must be ended by PS_end_tem‐
plate(3). Templates are similar to macros which can be
placed on a page like images. Within a template one can
call any drawing function. Once a template has been ended by
PS_end_template(3) it can be placed on a page
by PS_place_image(3). Templates are commonly
used for repeating objects like page headers in order to
minimize the document size.
If image reuse is not turned off (since version 0.4.5 of pslib
it is always turned on), PS_place_image(3)
may also be called within a template in order to include
eps or raster images.
RETURN VALUE
Returns an id for referencing the template.
