I create PS output - that seems to produce the nicest output in IDL. I then use the
ImageMagick utility "convert" to create a gif/png file from the PS file. These image files
I then import into ppt. Or stick them on a webpage. Works well - and you can do it all in
your IDL code via the SPAWN command.

The onscreen fonts in IDL are too primitive to do a straight screen capture (e.g. via
IDL's tvread or ImageMagick's import) to an image file (although I don't think that's
necessarily an IDL problem).
