Hi,
I've been trying to use psconfig and am having a couple of problems.
First, I am plotting colors on a black background. I am using color
table 4 and in my plot command, I include the keywords color = 255
(yellow) and background=0 (black). This looks fine on the screen, but
when I include the psconfig program, I get a white background instead
of black.
The second problem is that if I include the keyword "fontinfo" in the
psconfig function, I get an error that says "Keyword CLOSE_FILE not
allowed in call to: DEVICE" and no postscript file is generated. I
have included many other keywords in the psconfig function and do not
get a problem, but as soon as I include fontinfo, I get this error.
Here is the relevant code that I am using:
pro ferroplot, Postscript=postscript,_Extra=extra
postscript=keyword_set(postscript)
if postscript eq 1 then begin
set_plot,'ps'
keywords=psconfig(fontinfo=1,fonttype=1,truetype=1,times=1,f ontsize=16,cance
l=cancelled)
device,_Extra=keywords
endif
...
device,decomposed=0
loadct,4
plot, x, y, font=1, color=255, background=0, title='Plot Title'
...
if postscript eq 1 then begin
device,/close_file
set_plot,thisdevice
endif
END
I then call this with ferroplot for on screen plotting or ferroplot,
postscript=1 for ps output.
Any help would be appreciated.
David
