I agree. There needs to be a simple way to get from an on-screen
rendering to a printer rendering without retyping all the commands,
and with reasonable print quality.

My XFWINDOW program is/was a hack, but it shows that what is really
needed in IDL is a way to capture the graphics commands internally.
Then a user-level program can be used to re-render it to the printer.
