As I suspected, thanks for confirming that. As long as I'm talking to a
guru: is there an image format I can use that will display nice in say,
powerpoint, and also produce nice postscript output? I write all my
routines to display to my X display (in Linux) and then I switch to the
PS device and send everything to a .ps file, making some minor adjustments
for special cases (like bitmapped images mixed with line-art). This makes
very nice postcript output, but now I'm trying to fix what should not
need to be fixed: I'm taking a scalable format (postscript) and producing
a non-scalable thumbnail (bitmap) for display. I don't want to just dump
my X display to a bitmap format like tiff, gif, jpeg. Since I'm using a
*nix-like system, is there something else I should be doing? I'm a little
afraid of things like Windows Meta File, since Win-xx usually makes postscript
a real chore, and actually, I don't see it in my IDL help. Any suggestions?
