Unfortunately, as much as I try, conversion from IDL's graphics window
output to PostScript output is not *exactly* WYSIWYG. One of the
difficulties is on the right-hand side of plots. The default IDL
position of plots does not leave enough room in the graphics "window" to
accommodate axis annotation, etc. This is why part of your plot is
getting cut off. Some of it extends outside this "window".
I have tried to give Coyote Graphics routines a better default position
in the window (ie, position = [0.125, 0.125, 0.925, 0.9]), but there is
no way for me to know when I do this whether or not you are going to do
something different on the right-hand side of the plot. You have to be
responsible for that yourself.
The solution is simple enough: use the POSITION keyword on your plot
command to give yourself a little more space on the right-hand side of
the plot to accommodate axis annotation:
cgPlot, data, Position=[0.125, 0.125, 0.85, 0.925], ...
Cheers,
David
P.S. I had to figure this out on my own, since Coyote won't be awake for
another 3-4 more hours, at least.
