My wife would tell you it's because I don't have
a lick of business sense. But the truth is, I just
like all the chicks and beer the fame brings. :-)

Cheers,

David

David, thank you! It helps me out soon!

But I still wondered why there is not an such usually used
function inherent in IDL, instead it depends on the 3rd-party tools.

Additionally, David, I have another personal question. Why would you
like to develop open source software on a commercial platform (such as
IDL) ? Actually, there are many free softwares you can rely on,
such as Python, Scilab, and et.al..
[Indeed, I don't have and prejudice against IDL.]

Best,

Nico

Well, sure enough. This is the first time I've been
surprised by IDL in a long time. :-)

Here is how I would put two images side by side
in a window and in PostScript:

set_plot, 'ps'
device,filename='proj.eps',/encaps,/inches,xsize=4,ysize=2,b its=8
!P.MULTI=[0,2,1]
TVSCALE, p1, Margin=0
TVSCALE, p2, Margin=0
device, /close_file
!P.MULTI=0
set_plot, 'win'

You can find TVSCALE here:
