Hallo Wim,
Long time!

I agree with Martin that one should use (in IDL)
plot,...,xthick=3,ythick=4,thick=5,charthick=6 ; or whatever

But maybe you have an IDL-made ps-file that you don't care to re-create?
It actually works to edit the ps-file:
If none of the
,*thick=...
keywords were used in IDL, simply change from
%%EndPageSetup
10 setlinewidth L0 ...
to, e.g.,
%%EndPageSetup
50 setlinewidth L0 ...

If the IDL command was something like
plot,...,xthick=3,ythick=4,thick=5,charthick=6
then it takes a little more editing.

Disclaimer: I don't know anything about postscript. The above is based
on experimentation.

Perhaps there is a way to apply the same *scalefactor* to all of the
line
widths in a ps-file?

Best regards, Kristian
