About PostScript
Map of Batta in PostScript — an export of real OpenStreetMap data for the selected area.
PostScript (.ps) is a page-description language by Adobe, predecessor of PDF. A pre-press and archival standard for scientific publishing, supported by thousands of printers and RIP servers. Ideal for the LaTeX pipeline (dvips → ps2pdf) and for keeping editable vector map layouts in long-term archives.
Which layers are in the file
The set of layers depends on the selected area.
File size
The expected size of the PostScript file for Batta is about 3.9 MB; the exact size depends on the chosen layers and area.

How to use PostScript for Batta
- Ghostscript (free) — both viewing and conversion: ps2pdf map.ps map.pdf gives you a PDF, and calling gs with -r300 rasterizes the sheet at the resolution you need.
- GSview on Windows or Evince on Linux — open the .ps directly and look at the page without converting it.
- Adobe Distiller — the regular prepress route: PostScript in, PDF with font and color control out.

FAQ: PostScript for Batta
How does PS differ from EPS?
EPS is PostScript with an extra BoundingBox wrapper for embedding inside other documents. PS is a full multi-page document. They are close cousins technically.
Can I open .ps on Windows without Adobe Reader?
Yes — GSview (free) or Ghostscript converts PS to PDF in one command: ps2pdf input.ps output.pdf.
Is PostScript obsolete?
On the web, yes. For pre-press, RIP servers, and the LaTeX pipeline, it is still a standard. Most office-grade printers understand PostScript natively.
Are layers preserved in .ps?
PostScript has no native layer concept (unlike AI/PDF). The map is rendered as a single vector stream.
What sheet size do I get?
297x210 mm by default — that is A4 in landscape orientation; raster elements are drawn at 300 DPI. The sheet size is set at export time, so the map can be rebuilt for A3 or a non-standard size.
