You need IDL 5.3 to do this.

postscript = 1

This way you will have a nearly real vector postscript. I say "nearly"
because text will not be in postscript font : each charachter is drawn
using small triangles.

As discussed a week (or two) ago, if you have graphic atoms that
overlapp but are at a same graphic object Z value the result can be (is
?) different between a vector postscript output and a IDLgrWindow
rendering.

Later.

Nicolas.
