Or, you could just make encapsulated PostScript
files and paste them together in another application.
Microsoft Word comes to mind. :-)
Cheers,

P.S. Have you tried direct graphics in the Z-buffer?
That might work. I don't have time to try it.

Thanks. That works for me too. But I want these surface plots together
with other plots in a one-page postscript, so I'm pretty much stuck with
direct graphics.

I tried this in FSC_SURFACE:
IDL> fsc_surface, z,xxx,yyy,ax=45,az=-30,/hor
I had to set Parallel X Lines and Hidden Lines OFF
in the Style menu, but that looks correct to me.

David
