Output destination & format is controlled through keywords to the
IDLgrClipboard::Draw method. To send EPS output to a file the basic sequence
of operations is

myview = [Create & populate your IDLgrView here]
myclipbrd = obj_new('IDLgrClipBoard']
myclipbrd->Draw, /VECTOR, /POSTSCRIPT, FILENAME=[your file name here]
obj_destroy, myclipbrd

The name "IDLgrClipboard" is a little confusing. It was originally intended
only for output to the system clipboard, but then the IDL developers
thought, "Hey, we could use this to write files too."
