Start a new template
int ps_begin_template ( resource $psdoc, float $width, float $height )
Starts a new template. A template is called a form in the postscript language. It is created similar to a pattern but used like an image. Templates are often used for drawings which are placed several times through out the document, e.g. like a company logo. All drawing functions may be used within a template. The template will not be drawn until it is placed by ps_place_image().
Parameters:
psdoc
Resource identifier of the postscript file as returned by ps_new().
width
The width of the template in pixel.
height
The height of the template in pixel.
Returns:
Returns TRUE
on success or FALSE
on failure.
