Hi Matt,

there are no stripes within the graphics, when you use Ghostscript to
convert the Postscript file to PDF. You can even do it from the IDL
command line. Here is, what I did on Windows:

input_file='test.ps'
output_file='test.pdf'
command='"C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.61\bin\gswin32c.exe" '+$
'-q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress '+$
'-dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage -sOutputFile="'+output_file+'" '+$
input_file
spawn,command,stdout,stderr,/noshell
print,stdout,stderr

For me the PDF looks perfect. No stripes.

The filesize of the test.pdf is 60 kB.

HTH, Heinz
