A quick note on something I just had trouble with an hour ago relating
to set_plot, tvlct and PS files. I have a PV-Wave application that has
a section which allows multiple printers to be selected and to indicate
whether the printer is capable of displaying color, as well. If I
select a b/w printer, but select a toggle indicating it could do color
(never trust a user to the right thing), I would get large bands (1/4
to 1/3 the entire page) of black on the printout. I would also get
shaded lines and symbols in the plot area, which is what I had hoped to
see. It turns out that the tvlct calls would screw up the output if
placed between the set_plot calls. When they are moved to outside the
set_plot calls everything works as expected (on color and b/w printers,
regardless of the color on/off toggle). I guess the tvlct call gets
translated into some kind of PS command when done within the set_plot,
commands. I suspect this is the same with IDL. Has anyone else run into
this?

I'd suggest switching the position of these two lines.
P.S. Joel, any idea if Hughes STX is still looking for IDL programmers?
