Along these lines, and past off-topic comments by David, myself and a couplla ushers, are there any good microbrews in the Glacier (or Yellowstone) National Park areas of Montana? This could turn out to be a very on-topic discussion if there are any. > Fact is, since this is a holiday in the US and my youngest > just won another soccer tournament and John Elway (a famous > US footy star) is starting his final tour of the gridirons > tonight, I just may tosh down a couplla more! > > Cheesrs, > > David > > P.S.

Well, as the one who was from the Glacier National Park area in question, I cannot tell you if there are any good microbrews here, as I do not drink ;) Ya'll just have to come up here sometime and find out for yourselves :). Just to stay sortof on topic, are there any easy ways to print to a high resolution plotter with a custom format? I'm not sure if they use Postscript or not, but I will have the need down the line here for my application to print high resolution images that could easily be 2 gigs or larger. Any examples for this type of printing in IDL? ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- Sean P.

I'll be heading through in the Spring looking for a good remote site to set up an office with an attached house, as well as to scout out locations for a meeting. > Just to stay sortof on topic, are there any easy ways to print to a high > resolution plotter with a custom format?

Any > examples for this type of printing in IDL? I used a Dye-Sub printer a few years ago that required SRF (Sun Raster File) formatted files to be sent. I just decided how big I wanted the picture in inches, opened up a Z buffer to those dimensions, created the image/plot, then wrote it out with write_srf and spooled it to the printer. If you want an example I can dig back through some files to around 1992. -- Mike Schienle Interactive Visuals mgs@ivsoftware.com http://www.ivsoftware.com
