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

Maybe they left landscape out because they weren't sure
they could get it right, even now! ;-)

Well, any "seascape" file goes through my FIXPS program
automatically to convert them to "landscape", so they
really are landscape files. I'm going to miss them,
as there is apparently no way to create a landscape
page in function graphics. Doesn't *everyone* look
at their output, when they print it, on landscape
pages!?
Cheers,
David
