# PS\_glyph\_show(3)

Output glyph by name

## NAME

PS\_glyph\_show — Output glyph by name

## SYNOPSIS

\#include \<pslib.h\>

void PS\_glyph\_show(PSDoc \*psdoc, const char \*glyphname)

## DESCRIPTION

Output the glyph with the name **glyphname**.  This function is similar to **[PS\_symbol(3)](/PS_symbol/3.md)** but  does not take the current font encoding vector into account. It is  useful in cases where an abitrary glyph, not accessible through the  font encoding vector, shall be output.

**PS\_glyph\_show** has been introduced in version  0.4.0 of pslib.
