oh yes, I am laughing at the moment. What's a mistake.

Back in the good old days of very low resolution printers, thickness
set to 1.0 worked very well on the screen and on paper. But, as all
our printers began to be "600 dpi" printers, everything got narrower
and narrower and fainter and fainter. Eventully, we just wrote a
couple of procedures: SETX and SETPS. Now, we just run SETPS before
writing to a *printing* Postscript file (*not* EPS!), write the
file, and then run SETX to get back to the screen.
If you are going to be creating hardcopies a lot, and from within
procedures, you may find this useful.

hi Tom,
i've wondered too if there's a keyword in the plotting procedures to
adjust axis thickness. what i currently do is directly change the
system variable that affects axis thickness, namely:
!X.THICK = 2.5 ;set x-axis line thickness
!Y.THICK = 2.5 ;set y-axis line thickness
hope this helps!
best,
-Johnny

Of course Reimar means XTHICK and YTHICK. While you are at it, you
probably will want to set CHARTHICK too. I find that thickness values
in the range of 4-6, while they look horrible on the screen, look very
nice on printed output.

Dear Tom
You have to set the xtick and ytick keywords too.
If you are interested in a plot environment which is
mostly wysiwig between screen and printer you can have
a look at.
