PostScript on large paper sizes

description: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------21B8237A1B3D Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi everyone, I am experiencing a problem with IDL when I try to print on large-size paper. What I need is printing on a A0 sheet of paper, which means 70cm x 100cm approx. My plot is perfectly OK on a graphic window or even on PostcSript, when the paper is small. When I set the paper size to a big size, some lines go out of the plot, towards some converging point, I suppose. The problem manifests itself with filled contours or polyfill, but I am not sure it does not affect other plots. I attach a program and an accompaning data set that demonstrate the problem, if there is someone willing to try. thanx in advance! --------------21B8237A1B3D Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name="failure.pro" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="failure.pro" pro testfailure openr, rf, /get_lun, 'failure.txt' comment = '' readf, rf, comment xsize = 0L ysize = 0L readf, rf, xsize, ysize a = fltarr( xsize, ysize ) readf, rf, a readf, rf, comment nxsteps = 0L readf, rf, nxsteps xsteps = fltarr( nxsteps ) readf, rf, xsteps readf, rf, comment nysteps = 0L readf, rf, nysteps ysteps = fltarr( nysteps ) readf, rf, ysteps readf, rf, comment nlevels = 0L readf, rf, nlevels levels = fltarr( nlevels ) readf, rf, levels ; original ; contour, $ ; ng, $ ; Contouroriginx + findgen( nnx )*nstepx-nXDelta, $ ; Contouroriginy + findgen( nny )*nstepy-nYDelta, $ ; /c_annotation, $ ; c_charsize=tara.DimensioniEtichetteIsolinee, $ ; c_colors=bindgen( tara.Contouring.nClassiColori) + 16B, $ ; /fill, $ ; /follow, $ ; /overplot, $ ; levels=levels loadct, 23 contour, $ a, $ xsteps, $ ysteps, $ /c_annotation, $ /fill, $ /follow, $ levels=levels close, rf free_lun,rf end pro test testfailure set_plot,'PS' device, xsize=60, ysize=90, /portrait, /color, bits_per_pixel=8, filename='idl.ps' testfailure device,/close set_plot,'WIN…
