Displaying an image with plot overlays in PostScript Landscape mode is
so fiendishly difficult with TV that I wouldn't even try it. I'd use
IMDISP instead, which is designed to do this sort of thing
automatically, e.g.

set_plot, 'PS'
device, /landscape, /color, bits=8, filename='myimage.ps'
imdisp, dist(256), /axis, title='Frequency Distribution'
device, /close_file

Cheers,
Liam.
