PS file and annotate.pro? [message #11745] Fri, 15 May 1998 00:00

I'm probably missing something simple here... I hope. I want
to use annotate (IDL 5.0) to create a PS file with a plot and
annotation objects. I believe I'm following the annotate help to the
letter. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John K.
IDL> set_plot, 'ps
IDL> device, xsize=5 , ysize=4, /inches
For my 640 x 512 window
IDL> plot, findgen(10)
IDL> set_plot, 'x'
IDL> plot, findgen(10)
IDL> annotate
Color= 0
I chose, write PostScript -> Objects only
Saved to 'idl.ps', the file opened by default above
Then exited annotate widget
IDL> set_plot, 'ps'
IDL> device, /close

'idl.ps' is now just a blank page. It does have a
PS header and Prolog in it.
