I'm trying to import EPS files generated in PV-Wave, Version 7)
into FrameMaker. I have Frame 5.1P2a running on Solaris 7.

I find that the file imports into Frame, and prints OK. However
in some cases the image Frame shows on the screen is just white. This
happens for small EPS files, e.g. simple line plots, but complex
files, e.g. large surface plots, are rendered correctly. In all cases
other packages (Sun's imagetool, ghostview, etc) all display the
eps file correctly. I also find that if I make the eps file
larger then things work- so I can oplot the same graph 100 times
and things are OK:

The following gives the white box:
set_plot,'ps'
device,/epsi,filename='bob.eps'
plot,indgen(10)
device,/close_file

But the following looks OK:
set_plot,'ps'
device,/epsi,filename='bob.eps'
plot,indgen(10)
for i=0,100 do oplot,indgen(10)
device,/close_file

I've had no luck using other device drivers- The fonts look shocking,
or aren't supported by Frame.

Anyone notice anything similar, or better still know how to get
this to work correctly? This looks like a problem with Frame and not
wave, but I wondered if anyone had any ideas.

Thanks
