No it is apparently not used anywhere.  It was a def that appeared in
my postscript book and several examples I looked at, so I threw it in
for good measure.  I just applied you PS patch, removed this, and
checked the changes into CVS.

For my information, what ps viewers/printers were giving you trouble.
We've occasionally had reports of some viewers having trouble with
matplotlib output and I would like to gather some anecdotal
information.

Finally, by changing the version information to

            pstype = 'PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0'

will we break devices that only support PS level II?
