Really, If you are changing the device for plotting, the output will
be different. To get a good plot in ps you should define the device
properties manually. e.g.,

set_plot,'ps'
device,/inches,xsize=?,ysize=?,.........................
device=filename,/color,bits=32,..............

plot----------

device,/close
set_plot,'win'

For detail, please read "device" keyword.

I hope your plot will be nice.
