Good morning everyone,
Does anyone know how the value of the line thickness keyword translates to
points in the Postscript device. I am getting so tired of having to change
all my graphics by hand for publication. Your help out of my misery is
greatly appreciated!
Greetings,
Haje

Sorry, mistake
It is plot_test.pro
and it could look something like this
PRO plot_test
x=DINDGEN(100)+string2js(/now)
y=SIN(FINDGEN(100)/10.)
y2=COS(FINDGEN(100)/10.)
plotprepare,plot,dim=1
plot.plot_height=13.
plot.plot_width=13.
plot.left_margin=4.
plot.bottom_margin=3.
plot.landscape=3
plot.xgrid=1
plot.ygrid=1
plot.label.name='A'
plot.label.position=2
; xp_layout,PLOT ;========= automaticly replaced =========
plotinit,plot
plot.timeformat='HH:MM'
plot.xtitle='time'
plot.ytitle='data'
plotxy,plot,x=x,y=y,/time
plot.color=plot.color_nc.red
plotxy,plot,x=x,y=y2,/time
plot.legend_title='2003-05-22'
plot.legend_text_color_from_symbol=1
plot.legend_frame_color=plot.color_nc.blue
plot.legend_frame_fill_color=plot.color_nc.light_grey
plot.legend_title_color=plot.color_nc.blue
plot.legend_landscape= 1
plot.legend[0: 1,*]=legend_reorg(plot,['sin!C(1)','cos!C(0)'],$
[1,0] )
; xp_legend,PLOT ;========= automaticly replaced =========
plotend,plot
printout,'test'
END

Dear Haje,
the whole source could you find in our library at
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_lib_intro. html
I am working at the moment on the next version of our library for
publishing.
In February we started to set up a compiled library routine of all needed
source modules of the plot library. Because this is much easier as
publishing the whole library, (using the compile routine developed 2001)
At http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_bin/plotpr epare.sav
you will find the actual version I builded today.
This binary file depends always on our working library. One is useable half
a year long. Then it stops. This is only for preventing to have a real old
one.
IDL> plotprepare,plot,dim=1
% Restored file: PLOTPREPARE.
% PLOTPREPARE: Copyright: FZ-Juelich, ICG-I,ICG-II
% PLOTPREPARE: Further Information:
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icgl
ib/idl_lib_intro.html
% PLOTPREPARE: BUILD DATE: 2003-05-22 20:41:20 000
A sav file is always same called as the depending pro file
If you have this in your search path you should be able to run every of the
examples which does not need datafiles from us.
In 2000 I have written a publication in German about this package and
others.
http://www.fz-juelich.de/zb/text/publikation/xjuel3786.html
The timedata format was defined by Ray Sterner(JHUAPL) and he named it
julian seconds. ESA renamed it to MJD (Modified Julian Day).
It is defined as seconds since 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. Some routines inside
the sav file are from the JHUAPL library.
A list of all compiled routines you get after loading plotprepare with
IDL> PRINT,(plotprepare_info()).routines
This file may be interesting too
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/most_important .html
And here at least one more example:
PRO plot_test
x=DINDGEN(100)+string2js(/now)
y=SIN(FINDGEN(100)/10.)
y2=COS(FINDGEN(100)/10.)
plotprepare,plot,dim=1
xp_layout,plot
plotinit,plot
plot.timeformat='HH:MM'
plot.xtitle='time'
plot.ytitle='data'
plotxy,plot,x=x,y=y,/time
plot.color=plot.color_nc.red
plotxy,plot,x=x,y=y2,/time
xp_legend,plot
plotend,plot
printout,'test'
END
This script shows the usage of two xp widget modules.
The changes you did by the widgets are writtem into the file
test_plot.pro. The widgets get a comment sign in front.
Then at the end a postscript file test.ps is created.
regards
Reimar

Reimar,
I am not sure whether I want to make significant changes to my already too
complicated application. However, I would like to take a look at your plotxy
package and consider it for future projects. The web site you gave me
contains a lot of examples but I did not see the actual package offered for
download. Could you please post this link for us?
Greetings,
Haje
