Holger,
I have used 'idlgrclipboard' object in the past, which can create Postscript
file. However, the implementation in 6.0 is still buggy. 6.1 will be better,
there may still be some issues with alpha blending. Any way, if your
view/scene is not too complicated it may work for you. A note on the side:
It amazes me that RSI worked out so many details on making object graphics
look pretty and totoally forgot to spend the time working on creating
descent quality output of the graphics. In order to get what I want, I have
to write every code twice, once in object graphics for the screen and then
use direct graphics techniques to create the PS file. Not very
efficient.....
