CGM files [message #17668]

IDLers,

I'm attempting to produce a CGM file of a plot, however the resulting file
gives a square image rather than the landscape shaped plot I'm after and
also has some over-lapping text. Producing an encapuslated postscript file
with the same plot commands works fine (i.e. the correct aspect ratio, no
overlapping text).

Ultimately I want to get the plot into Word (I don't want to use .eps since
I'm not using a PS printer). If I resize the CGM file the text becomes
distorted. Outside of IDL I've tried using Ghostview to convert the .eps
file to a windows meta-file which works except the resolution is very poor,
leading to my curves becomes badly jagged.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Justin
