You can do it from iplot or plot, but in different ways:

plot: In program, I haven't found a way to do it from iplot, but you
can do it from the plot procedure. The way to do it there is:
set_plot, 'PS'
device, filename='plot.eps', /encapsulated
plot, sin(2*!pi*findgen(101)/100)
device, /close
set_plot, 'WIN' ; or set_plot, 'X' if you are on a unix-
ish machine 'WIN' for a windows machine

iplot: However to do it from iplot the best way to export a
vector .eps file is from the iplot window. File > Export... Then
select 'To a File', click 'next' twice, change the file type to .eps,
click on the 'Graphics Format' field, and pull down to 'Vector'. Then
finish and you should be good to go.

Both ways work. However, for plots using the shade_surf procedure, it
doesn't work as hot in plot, for that iplot is much better.
