Hi folks,

Just thought i'd give a heads up to the community that ITTVIS is
working on a bug i reported to them with the save method of IMAGE().

This code crashes IDL completely on my Win 7 machine:

i=image(dist(6000,6000))
i.save, 'testfile.pdf'

It works fine with say a .png for output though. Looks like the array
you pass to image() needs to be less than approximately 50 MB for the
pdf code to work according to ITTVIS's initial investigations.

It's not too terribly huge a hassle maybe, b/c both output to .ps
and .eps worked fine also. But something to keep in mind anyway!

Jeff
