% The output document (a resume) is designed so that each event has
% (1) descriptive text and (2) line art connecting the text to a timeline.
% Text should be printed on top of line art.
% (The other way, line art over text, looks worse.)
%
% The order of commands in a PostScript file is important.
% Later drawings are made on top of earlier ones.
%
% In my design, the line art of an event may cross the text of another
% event (or its own). In order to keep the output looking good, we wish
% to draw each event's line art before all the text it crosses.
%
% As life goes on (and our resume grows), we edit the content of the
% PostScript file, adding events (school or work) as they occur.
% Editing should be easy and carefree.
% Line art should be generated automatically (under the text).
%
% Suppose we have a function that takes as input an event's text.
% When the function is called, it draws the line art and prints the text.
% If it were to do both right away, it might draw the line art of an event
% over the text of an event from earlier in the PostScript file.
%
% My solution is to postpone all printing of event text until all line art is drawn.
% As each event is processed, line art is drawn right away.
% But the strings and their locations and fonts are pushed onto the stack.
% After the last event is processed, the strings are popped and printed.
