<p><code>gsjava.jar</code> is the Java library which contains classes and interfaces which enable API calls required to use Ghostscript.</p>
<p>Assuming that the JAR for your project has been <a href="java-intro.html#building-the-jar">built</a> and <a href="java-intro.html#linking-the-jar">properly linked</a> with your own project then the Ghostscript API should be available by importing the required classes within your project's <code>.java</code> files.</p>
<h3 id="gsapi-gsinstance">GSAPI & GSInstance</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="#gsapi">GSAPI</a> is the main Ghostscript API class which bridges into the Ghostscript C library.</li>
<li><a href="#gsinstance">GSInstance</a> is a wrapper class for <a href="#gsapi">GSAPI</a> which encapsulates an instance of Ghostscript and allows for simpler API calls.</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="gsapi">GSAPI</h2>
<h3 id="gsapi_revision">gsapi_revision</h3>
<p>This method returns the revision numbers and strings of the Ghostscript interpreter library; you should call it before any other interpreter library functions to make sure that the correct version of the Ghostscript interpreter has been loaded.</p>
<div class="tag methodDefinition java"></div>
<pre><code class="language-clike">public static native int gsapi_revision(GSAPI.Revision revision,

<h4 id="gsapi-revision">GSAPI.Revision</h4>
<p>This class is used to store information about Ghostscript and provides handy getters for the product and the copyright information.</p>

<h3 id="gsapi_new_instance">gsapi_new_instance</h3>
<p>Creates a new instance of Ghostscript. This instance is passed to most other <a href="#gsapi">GSAPI</a> methods. Unless Ghostscript has been compiled with the <code>GS_THREADSAFE</code> define, only one instance at a time is supported.</p>
<div class="tag methodDefinition java"></div>
<pre><code class="language-clike">public static native int gsapi_new_instance(Reference<Long> instance,
long callerHandle);</code></pre>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong><br>The method returns a reference which represents your instance of Ghostscript.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3 id="gsapi_delete_instance">gsapi_delete_instance</h3>
<p>Destroy an instance of Ghostscript. Before you call this, Ghostscript must have finished. If Ghostscript has been initialised, you should call <a href="#gsapi_exit">gsapi_exit</a> beforehand.</p>
<div class="tag methodDefinition java"></div>
<pre><code class="language-clike">public static native void gsapi_delete_instance(long instance);</code></pre>
<h3 id="gsapi_set_stdio_with_handle">gsapi_set_stdio_with_handle</h3>
<p>Set the callback functions for <code>stdio</code>, together with the handle to use in the callback functions. The <code>stdin</code> callback function should return the number of characters read, 0 for EOF, or -1 for error. The <code>stdout</code> and <code>stderr</code> callback functions should return the number of characters written.</p>
<div class="tag methodDefinition java"></div>
<pre><code class="language-clike">public static native int gsapi_set_stdio_with_handle(long instance,
IStdInFunction stdin,
IStdOutFunction stdout,
IStdErrFunction stderr,
long callerHandle);</code></pre>
<h3 id="gsapi_set_stdio">gsapi_set_stdio</h3>
<p>Set the callback functions for <code>stdio</code>. The handle used in the callbacks will be taken from the value passed to <a href="#gsapi_new_instance">gsapi_new_instance</a>. Otherwise the behaviour of this function matches <a href="#gsapi_set_stdio_with_handle">gsapi_set_stdio_with_handle</a>.</p>
<div class="tag methodDefinition java"></div>
<pre><code class="language-clike">public static native int gsapi_set_stdio(long instance,
IStdInFunction stdin,
IStdOutFunction stdout,
IStdErrFunction stderr);</code></pre>
<h3 id="gsapi_set_poll_with_handle">gsapi_set_poll_with_handle</h3>
<p>Set the callback function for polling, together with the handle to pass to the callback function. This function will only be called if the Ghostscript interpreter was compiled with <code>CHECK_INTERRUPTS</code> as described in <code>gpcheck.h</code>.</p>
<p>The polling function should return zero if all is well, and return negative if it wants ghostscript to abort. This is often used for checking for a user cancel. This can also be used for handling window events or cooperative multitasking.</p>
<p>The polling function is called very frequently during interpretation and rendering so it must be fast. If the function is slow, then using a counter to <code>return 0</code> immediately some number of times can be used to reduce the performance impact.</p>
<div class="tag methodDefinition java"></div>
<pre><code class="language-clike">public static native int gsapi_set_poll_with_handle(long instance,
IPollFunction pollfun,
long callerHandle);</code></pre>
<h3 id="gsapi_set_poll">gsapi_set_poll</h3>
<p>Set the callback function for polling. The handle passed to the callback function will be taken from the handle passed to <a href="#gsapi_new_instance">gsapi_new_instance</a>. Otherwise the behaviour of this function matches <a href="#gsapi_set_poll_with_handle">gsapi_set_poll_with_handle</a>.</p>
<div class="tag methodDefinition java"></div>
<pre><code class="language-clike">public static native int gsapi_set_poll(long instance,

<h3 id="gsapi_set_display_callback">gsapi_set_display_callback</h3>
<p>This call is deprecated; please use <a href="#gsapi_register_callout">gsapi_register_callout</a> to register a <a href="#callback-callout-interfaces">callout handler</a> for the display device in preference.</p>
<div class="tag methodDefinition java"></div>
<pre><code class="language-clike">public static native int gsapi_set_display_callback(long instance,

<h3 id="gsapi_deregister_callout">gsapi_deregister_callout</h3>
<p>This call deregisters a <a href="#callback-callout-interfaces">callout handler</a> previously registered with <a href="#gsapi_register_callout">gsapi_register_callout</a>. All three arguments must match exactly for the <a href="#callback-callout-interfaces">callout handler</a> to be deregistered.</p>
<div class="tag methodDefinition java"></div>
<pre><code class="language-clike">public static native void gsapi_deregister_callout(long instance,
ICalloutFunction callout,
long calloutHandle);</code></pre>
<h3 id="gsapi_set_arg_encoding">gsapi_set_arg_encoding</h3>
<p>Set the encoding used for the interpretation of all subsequent arguments supplied via the <code>GSAPI</code> interface on this instance. By default we expect args to be in encoding <code>0</code> (the 'local' encoding for this OS). On Windows this means "the currently selected codepage". This means that omitting to call this function will leave Ghostscript running exactly as it always has. Please note that use of the 'local' encoding is now deprecated and should be avoided in new code. This must be called after <a href="#gsapi_new_instance">gsapi_new_instance</a> and before <a href="#gsapi_init_with_args">gsapi_init_with_args</a>.</p>
<div class="tag methodDefinition java"></div>
<pre><code class="language-clike">public static native int gsapi_set_arg_encoding(long instance,
int encoding);</code></pre>

<p>Sets a parameter. Broadly, this is equivalent to setting a parameter using -d, -s or -p on the command line. This call cannot be made during a <a href="#gsapi_run_string">gsapi_run_string</a> operation.</p>
<p>Parameters in this context are not the same as 'arguments' as processed by <a href="#gsapi_init_with_args">gsapi_init_with_args</a>, but often the same thing can be achieved. For example, with <a href="#gsapi_init_with_args">gsapi_init_with_args</a>, we can pass "-r200" to change the resolution. Broadly the same thing can be achieved by using <a href="#gsapi_set_param">gsapi_set_param</a> to set a parsed value of "<</HWResolution [ 200.0 200.0 ]>>".</p>
<p>Internally, when we set a parameter, we perform an <code>initgraphics</code> operation. This means that using <a href="#gsapi_set_param">gsapi_set_param</a> other than at the start of a page is likely to give unexpected results.</p>
<p>Attempting to set a parameter that the device does not recognise will be silently ignored, and that parameter will not be found in subsequent <a href="#gsapi_get_param">gsapi_get_param</a> calls.</p>

<h3 id="gsapi_get_param">gsapi_get_param</h3>
<p>Retrieve the current value of a parameter.</p>
<p>If an error occurs, the return value is negative. Otherwise the return value is the number of bytes required for storage of the value. Call once with value <code>NULL</code> to get the number of bytes required, then call again with value pointing to at least the required number of bytes where the value will be copied out. Note that the caller is required to know the type of value in order to get it. For all types other than <a href="#gs_set_param_type">gs_spt_string</a>, <a href="#gs_set_param_type">gs_spt_name</a>, and <a href="#gs_set_param_type">gs_spt_parsed</a> knowing the type means you already know the size required.</p>
<p>This call retrieves parameters/values that have made it to the device. Thus, any values set using <a href="#gs_set_param_type">gs_spt_more_to_come</a> without a following call omitting that flag will not be retrieved. Similarly, attempting to get a parameter before <a href="#gsapi_init_with_args">gsapi_init_with_args</a> has been called will not list any, even if <a href="#gsapi_set_param">gsapi_set_param</a> has been used.</p>
<p>Attempting to read a parameter that is not set will return <code>gs_error_undefined</code> (-21). Note that calling <a href="#gsapi_set_param">gsapi_set_param</a> followed by <a href="#gsapi_get_param">gsapi_get_param</a> may not find the value, if the device did not recognise the key as being one of its configuration keys.</p>
