Well, I agree they *should* be able to do this. Let
us know how it goes. :-)
Cheers,

Hi David,
thank you for your rapid response. I don't like to install additional
software (ImageMagick etc. ) for such a task. I will give plot.save
from IDL 8 a try. Thank you anyway.
Best regards
CR

Are you talking about a high-resolution image from
a colored plot on the *display*? Then, no. Garbage
in, garbage out.
If your program was written in such a way that whatever
you were putting on the display could just as easily
be put into a PostScript file (that is to say, you
have read my book or at least paid attention to 20
years of me ranting on the subject), then I would
say you have a very good chance of reaching your
objective. :-)
ImageMagick is probably your friend here:
