Device driver for framemaker interchange format
type: item
description: Many people here use framemaker to produce pretty documents. Currently, in order to incorporate IDL plots, we write PostScript files and import them into framemaker. Using the IDL command: device,/preview gives framemaker a low-resolution rendition of the IDL plot to view on the screen before the document is printed. However, we are unable to alter the plot within framemaker; all we can do is embellish it. A better method of incorporating the IDL plots would be to use the "make interchange format." If IDL would produce a plot in make interchange format, then, in framemaker, we could alter the plot, making it easier to produce annotations. All this leads to the question: Has anyone written an IDL device driver for maker interchange format?
