Hi,
pl=plot(findgen(10), linestyle='dash')
Looks fine on the screen. But then if I do:
pl.save, 'test.pdf'
I lose the dashes, and just get a solid line in the PDF file. Same for PS and EPS, but looks OK in PNG and JPG.
I get this on Linux and Mac, and with dots or dashes.
Is this a bug?
Cheers,
Matt

Certainly looks like it to me on my Windows machine running IDL 8.2.3.
Cheers,

You probably already know this, but this command will give you the file
output you want:
IDL> cgplot, findgen(10), linestyle=2, output='idl.pdf'
Cheers,
David

Just to let you know that this also happens for me too.
Very annoying!
