thick = 2 and postscript output [message #25272] Thu, 31 May 2001 08:41 Go to next message

I'm trying to make some postscript files of simple graphs; I
have gotten color and fonts to work, but
the command

plot, x, y, thick = 2

fails to make a thick line in the postscript output file.
Anyone know why, and how to remedy this?
I am using IDL 5.4 on a windows OS.

Thanks,
Chris

I donot set these ketwords in CONTOUR. Thank you.

There are several plots in the program. I thought all would be OK if I set
the keywords at the start.

I presume you meant to throw !Y.thick in there, too.
But, in any case, all works fine here in IDL 5.6 on
Windows. Thick lines all the way around. Have you tried
setting these keywords on the CONTOUR command?

Cheers,

David
