<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">

I am thinking about writing an idl script to directly write things to xifg
format without involving a spawn command to pstoedit (this is under linux/unix).
Before I set off on this big waste of time I was wondering if anyone
else had already done it....
<p>please let me know. If I get no responce I will go ahead
and start
<p>Best

I mean PS cannot be inserted into word.
Adobe can output CGM(Ansi CGM 3.0). Idl can output CGM, but I donot know how
to choose font. Maybe truetype font cannot be used in CGM?(!p.font=1 &
DEVICE, SET_FONT='times',/tt_font ??ERROR)

Humm. That would be news to me and probably a number
of other authors who thought it worked pretty darn
well. :-(
Maybe you should have a look at some of these PostScript
tips:

At the risk of stating the obvious, it's not, well, PostScript. :-)
By the way, are you talking about the same CGM format that
was state-of-the-art in the 1970's?
Cheers,
David

I can insert EPS into word and it looks good on the screen. When I print
the file, it looks not so good as file by inserting WMF or CGM(vector form)
figure. So I always convert PS to WMF. But sometimes the converted figure
is not the same as original one. I am puzzled.
By the way, idl can produce CGM and WMF figure. But they cannot be
controlled easily, sometimes the figure cannot be used(all black....).

That's a new one on me!

It doesn't do that in Word 2000 or earlier. Do you think it's new to Word
2002 or do you have some add-on software installed?
