A quick question -
With IDL 3.6.1a running under Solaris 2.2,, I have no problem writing
PostScript output. Occasionally, though, I want encapsulated PostScript
output, which also works fine.
The problem I have is that once I have written something out as encapsulated PostScript, how do I get the device to return to standard
PostScript? I usually will return the device to 'X', but then later, if
I want to print out a PostScript plot (non-encapsulated) and set_plot,'PS',
the device is still set to encapsulated.
If I've missed something in the manual or if anyone has suggestions,
I'd appreciate hearing. Right now, I either save all my encapsulated
stuff until the end of a session or I have to exit IDL and restart it
to get it reset. This shouldn't be (it seems to me).
Thanks, Keith

Try the following for encapsulated postscript
set_plot,"ps"
device, filename="file.eps", encapsulated = 1
...plotting commands...
device, /close
and
set_plot, "ps"
device, filename="file.ps", encapsulated = 0
...plotting commands...
device, /close
for un-encapsulated postscript. This works fine and allows you
to combine the two options in the same session (in arbitrary
order).

I guess following will do
[set_plot,'ps']
device,encapsulated=0
