Hi!!!
I use IDL 8.2.2 and my questions are the following:
1- is possible to save plot and its oplot in the same .pdf (or png, jpeg, etc) file?
2- is possible to save tvscl window in a .pdf (or png, jpeg, etc) file?
thanks, Chrisss

Oh, boy, are you in for a big surprise! And resizeable windows, too!

Here is how to put multiple commands in a single plot and save it in any
of the formats you mention:

With your image, just use the OUTPUT keyword and the appropriate
extension and everything is handled for you:
IDL> cgImage, image, /Scale, OUTPUT='myimage.pdf'
Cheers,
David
P.S. Where have you been all my life? I've been writing programs just
for you!

If you use function graphics (FG), then if you do something like
p = plot(x,y)
p = plot(x2,y2,/overplot)
you can save the generated plot in any of your required formats like so:
p.save, "plot.png"
p.save, "plot.pdf"
etc.
Same for other FG function like image, surface, etc.
The extension on the filename does all the hard work.
See http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/Save_Method.html
*BUT* - very importantly - if this question is in relation to your other
post, where you are generating many plots within a loop (using old style
direct graphics, DG), then ignore everything I said above and do what
DavidF suggested and use his Coyote Graphics (CG) tools.
Using function graphics in a loop will slow your script down by many
many orders of magnitude.

I hear you, man. I'm going out today to cut trees off of a couple of ski
trails. That always helps. :-)
Cheers,
