There are a few ways to approach this problem.

(1) You can save the contents of each window to an image file (GIF,
JPEG, TIFF etc.) using the SAVEIMAGE procedure:
http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~gumley/imagetools.html

(2) You can use the XWINDOW procedure by David Fanning to display your
graphics:

(3) You can add graphics print button to the IDL development
environment:

Can you be more specific and give us an example of what you'd like to
do?

Cheers,
Liam.

If you mean in screen resolution, then the answer is yes.
You can find a Print_It program on my web page that can
send the contents of a graphics window directly to the
printer:

Depends. What kind of computer are you using. On a Mac
or PC and Cmd-C or Ctrl-C will copy the window contents
to the Clipboard.

Cheers,

David

P.S. If you are using object graphics (as a newbie you
are probably NOT), you can do much fancier copying with
the clipboard object.
