Oh my gosh, Haoran, I am going to FedEx the very first copy
of my book to you! :-)

I presume you mean the plots are tiny on a PostScript page.
What you want to do is make your PostScript "window" bigger.
The default is to fill up about half the page in Portrait
mode.

Try something like this:

thisDevice = !D.Name
Set_Plot, 'PS'
Device, XSize=7.5, YSize=10, XOffSet=0.5, YOffSet=0.5, /Inch
!P.Multi = [0, 3, 4]
... Draw your plots here...
Device, /Close_File
!P.Multi = 0
Set_Plot, thisDevice

That should give you a *bit* more room. :-)

Cheers,

David
