I'll assume the display device is correctly set to the window you wish to
convert to a postscript file.

IDL> image = tvrd() ; read the data from the current graphics window
IDL> set_plot, 'ps' ; set the plot device to postscript
IDL> tv, image ; display the data into the postscript file (idl.ps)

See Chapter 3, "IDL Graphics Devices" of the IDL Reference Guide for a
description of the keywords available for postscript devices. There is
quite a bit of info in there regarding scaling and color mapping.
