Caution! Use of Martin's BaseObject and BaseGUI is addictive. Yes,
Martin's base object is perfect for this use.

Wouldn't that just create another reference to the same existing objects
instead of duplicating everything into another heap variable?

Humm. I've never noticed that PS output wasn't
of acceptable quality. I've never had any difficulty
either producing a PostScript file (although I don't
think it is possible to do this *without* using the
printer dialog) or directly on a PostScript printer.
You have to be sure to set the VECTOR keyword. About
the only thing I have noticed is that some of the lines
are awfully thin. I usually jack the THICK keyword
up a bit if I'm producing PostScript line plots.

Doesn't this work, too:
newView = oldView
I've never tried it. But I can't believe it wouldn't
work just that wonderfully. :-)

David

I never could produce PS output from OG that would be of acceptable quality.

The simpliest way, especially if it is not to become a routine task, is
to save it to .sav file and restore into another variable.
