Maybe it's too easy, but I was not able to figure it out :

How does one save in IDL a graphics object, say, the one created by
surface, into a Postscript file ?

Thanks a lot,

Bardo

I just did the following...

IDL> set_plot, 'ps'
IDL> surface, dist(40)
IDL> device, /close
IDL> $ghostview idl.ps

... and a beutiful plot appeared on my screen!

Andy

P.S. Ghostview is the name of my postscript previewer (not an IDL routine).
