                                                                                           PS_OPEN_IMAGE_FILE(3)

       This  function  reads image data from a file. It can read png, jpeg, gif, tiff, and eps files. png, jpeg,
       gif, and tiff images can only be read if pslib has been compiled with support for those formats.  Once an
       image has been loaded it can be placed on a page with PS_place_image(3).

       Since version 0.4.5 of pslib images are read by default for later reuse. This means  that  the  image  is
       saved into a so called reusable stream object. Later calls of PS_place_image(3)             will only put
       a  short  sequence of postscript code into the output file replaying the image.  This reduces the overall
       postscript file size, speeds up its processing by the postscript rip and  allows  to  place  images  into
       templates.  This  behaviour  can  be  turned  off  by  setting  the  parameter `imagereuse' to false with
       PS_set_parameter(3).
