I have exported simple shaded surfaces (from isurface), that were
vector graphics, and the result was fine. But there were no
transparencies or complications with lines that go around each other.
I had problems with vectors in simple 3D line plots, because the lines
in PS seem to just be drawn on top of each other, instead of
respecting which is in the front. I do not know if this is a PS
limitation or an IDL bug (though it is filed as CR 51003).
