Say what!? :-(
Here is how I do this, assuming I have just displayed my
graphics in a window on my display to see how it all looks,
with my graphics display command DoMyThingHere:
; Set up PS with same aspect as display window
keywords = PSConfig(_Extra=PSWindow(), CANCEL=cancelled)
IF ~cancelled THEN BEGIN
thisDevice = !D.Name
thisFont = !P.Font
!P.Font = 1
Set_Plot, 'PS'
Device, _Extra=keywords
DoMyThingHere
Device, /Close
!P.Font = thisFont
Set_Plot, thisDevice
ENDIF
Perhaps this is a problem with how DoMyThingHere is
written. I don't know. I've just never run into the
problems you seem to be having.
Cheers,
David
