Print Quality
type: item
description: Hi all, I am a new user of IDL. It seems to me that the graph or data printed by IDL are far from publication quality. (I just simply choose 'print' from 'file' menu to print out the data result or graph I got.) Can anyone give me some help on this? Thanks in advance!

You do not describe which programs you are using. Your description sound that's you do a screen hard copy or something like this. Thats really not publication quality. We use idl to do publication quality graphs. I have done for you a simple contour plot, (because I am working at the moment on this tool) which shows you that's non hardcopy graphs are possible. It's attached as PS file. I think you'll find on David Fannings web page examples how to plot. -- R.Bauer Institut fuer Stratosphaerische Chemie (ICG-1) Forschungszentrum Juelich email: R.Bauer@fz-juelich.de --------------623163DE6956 Content-Type: application/postscript; name="ex_5.ps" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="ex_5.ps" %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 841 %%Title: Graphics produced by IDL %%For: icg105@ich230, /home1/icg105/IDL/RB_LIB/V1_1/plot/plot2d %%Creator: IDL Version 5.0 (AIX ibmr2) %%CreationDate: Thu Oct 2 19:41:58 1997 %%DocumentData: Clean7bit %%Requirements: color %%LanguageLevel: 1 %%PageOrder: Ascend %%Pages: (atend) %%DocumentNeededResources: (atend) %%EndComments %%BeginProlog %+ prolog.ps -- Prolog for IDL generated PostScript files %+ Copyright (c) 1988-1997 Research Systems, Inc.
