PostScript::MailLabels::BasicData - Basic data that is used by the MailLabels module.
Loads up a few basic data items : Font metrics PS code for generating a calibration page PS code for generating a test page PS code for PostNET font Standard paper sizes Specs for Avery (tm) forms (incomplete)
All this does is initialize a bunch of data items. Not intended to be used by normal people. It just makes the MailLabel.pm code more compact. The documentation is probably not too complete. Note that the font metrics camne from PostScript::Metrics by Shawn Wallace. The PostNET barcode font came from James H. Cloos, Jr.
require PostScript::MailLabels::BasicData; $data = new PostScript::MailLabels::BasicData; $code = '8460'; @layout = @{$data{AVERY}{$code}}; # layout=>[paper-size,[list of product codes], description, # number per sheet, left-offset, top-offset, width, height] # distances measured in points $testpage = $data{TESTPAGE};
