You don't usually "convert" anything. You either draw
your figure to the display device, or you draw your
figure to the PostScript device. Suppose you wrote
an IDL program named DRAWPLOT to draw a graphics plot:

IDL> Drawplot, mydata

Then to draw the same plot in a PostScript file
(assuming the code is written correctly), you would
do something like this:

thisDevice = !D.Name
keywords = PSConfig(/Encapculated, _Extra=PSWindow(), Cancel=cancel)
IF ~cancel THEN BEGIN
Set_Plot, 'PS'
Device, _EXTRA=keywords
Drawplot, mydata
Device, /Close
Set_Plot, thisDevice
ENDIF

If you have set up a 3D coordinate system (by typing a command like
SURFR, or SCALE3D, or even SURFACE), then you can make a CONTOUR
command use the save 3D coordinate system by setting the T3D keyword.

You will find LOTS of information about producing PostScript output
on my web page. :-)

Cheers,

David
