Thanks Dave and Pavel for your advice Re: grayscale.
I have another question re: EPS files.
DEVICE, XSize=10, YSize=8, /ENCAPSULATED, $
Filename='foo.eps'
The bounding box is usually right on. But when I have
a second Y axis, the BB is too far to the left, i.e.
the rightmost y-axis-labels are clipped.
Easily fixed: modify the BB by hand. It's the second
line of the EPS file, which is just an ASCII text file.
But: why is this??? How hard can it be to calculate a
frigging bounding box?
And: can I use the xoffset keyword? Man page says this
does not work for /ENCAPSULATED.
BTW, I'm using 5.0.1 -- sorry.

Feel the Zen, David. Remember, IDL is another state of mind. You can
do it.

That's no "work-around". That is a run-around!

I use epstool to convert IDL PS output to EPS - gives me a preview also
if I want to import the file into a WP app. To be fair, I've also had
problems as described creating EPS files in other unix apps. Maybe it's
the same funkified code? :o)
