hmmm I'm having a problem with dumping my TK canvas to a postscript file. The ps file has data that Ghostscript can't interpret but I'm unsure what is causing this. One example is 0.000 0.000 0.000 setrgbcolor AdjustColor The term AdjustColor is not recognised but I have no idea what causes it to be created.

Has anyone else had problems creating a ps? Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.

Below is more specific info. 

My platform:
Linux
What I'm using: 
  use Tk;
  use Class::Struct;
  use POSIX;
My Canvas:
  my $c = $mw -> Scrolled("Canvas", 
              -cursor =>"crosshair") 
    -> pack(-side => "left", 
        -fill => 'both',
        -expand =>1);

  my $canvas = $c->Subwidget("canvas");

The Call:
  $canvas->postscript(
  -colormode => "mono",
  -fontmap=>"-*-Helvetica-Bold-0-Normal--*-140-*",
  -height =>5,
  -pageanchor => "center",
  -pageheight => 5,
  -pagewidth => 5,
  -pagex => 5,
  -pagey=>5,
  -rotate => 0,
  -width =>5,
  -x=>0,
  -y=>0,
  -file => "file.ps");

The result:
