Dear Haje,

not only thickness sometimes fonts or symbolsize has to be adjusted.
this was a few years ago the reason why we have developed the plotxy etc.
plotroutines.
If you do a plot by this package it looks on screen and on psfile mostly
similiar. And a printout is publication ready.
All this different calculation to get the right thickness or fontsize is
done internaly. As user you have only to set one flag to switch from screen
to postscript.

many examples are here
