Graphics in Linux using C

[Nimit Dhulekar]

Thankx for the reply but dont think thats gonna work all that well. Am
trying to highlight strings in a ps file. Am able to search for the
string as I have the source code for the ps file and it has been
generated from tex using the latex command and then dvips.

Now my problem is that any changes made to the source code arent quite
helpful in changing the output (the generated ps file) that you see on
ggv. I would've been able to do something by simply modifying the tex
file. But I dont have the tex file just the generated ps file. I need
to do something so that I can make changes to that.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Am trying to highlight strings in a ps file. Am able to search for the
string. Any suggestions on how to highlight the already searched
string using C?
