Printing PostScript files.
Once you have made your most beautiful plot, you wanna have it on a PS file to
show
it to all the other people. You just have to specify that the output for the
next window is actually a file:
IDL>
set_plot,'ps'
Then redo all you need to do your very nice plot (if there is a lot of
commands,
prefer the use of a bach or program or journal).
You can customize the output (landscape/portrait, ps/eps, using the device
command)
When finished, close the ps_file and return to X-window plots:
IDL>
device,/close
IDL> set_plot,'x'
