IDL 8.1 PostScript Output on a Sheet of Paper [message #77782]

Folks,

The fact that IDL 8.1 graphics windows can send their
content directly to a PostScript file is a tremendous
convenience.

At least it would be if the resulting PostScript output
fit on a sheet of paper. Unfortunately, it doesn't.
Or, at least I haven't been able to figure out yet
how to make it fit on a sheet of paper. I get the
impression it *might* have fit if IDL had produced a
landscape PostScript file, but clearly this is not
a landscape file. I don't honestly know WHAT it is.
It seems to be an 11-inch square or something.

Does anyone have any ideas for producing PostScript
output from one of these fancy windows that I could
send to a printer and see ALL of the graphic?

Cheers,

David
