I am new to IDL. I am using version 5.1. I was psyched to discover the
INSIGHT feature. It allows me to make nifty plots in no time. However,
I cannot seem to figure out how to get my nifty Insight plots into
presentable (high-resolution, color) postscript files. I've tinkered
with the print menu button and options thereunder, and tried converting
gif/jpeg output to postscript, with no real success. Many thanks in
advance for any advice on how to go about this.
Cheers,
Rick

Beware that insight has been discontinued as of IDL5.4. The only way
I managed to print to PS was to install a post-script printer driver
on my windowsNT machine, and print to a file. As I work on slow
machines (<200MHz) (hard to believe but I rarely feel dragged by
them), printing from object graphics was too slow for my taste.
