I have one quick question about how to do something in poscript.
/inch {72 mul} def % Convert inches->points (1/72 inch)
1 0 0 setrgbcolor
newpath % Start a new path
1 inch 1 inch moveto % an inch in from the lower left
2 inch 1 inch lineto % bottom side
2 inch 2 inch lineto % right side
1 inch 2 inch lineto % top side
closepath % Automatically add left side to close path
fill % Fill in the box on the paper
showpage % We're done... eject the page
So, this code makes is easy for drawing a red square.
The question is, what if I want to draw a box where the corners are 4
different shades. Say a box with a red corner, a blue corner, a green
corner, and a black corner. How in the world would I pull that off?
