Is there a way to get the Raster Image Files vis ImageMagick from the graphics window or do I need to just save as a postscript and manually convert the file in ImageMagick? I'm using IDL version 8.1.0 on a mac.

Yes, and ...

Is the resulting image of crappy quality? In my experience, the output
from cgWindow is at least as good as (and sometimes better) than the
output from the function graphics routines.

What does "publication quality image" mean to you? I use this method to
produce ALL the figures in my books. The books sell well enough to
convince me the figures can't be that bad. ;-)

Do you need to modify the image output? If so, see the keywords to
cgControl.

Cheers,

David
