Hi,
just my 2 cents. David's use of ImageMagick basically makes use of the spawn command. The code first generates a .ps and then converts accordingly. My recommendation is to first test if the above commands (like "magick 4pic.ps 4pic.png") also work from IDL:
spawn, "magick 4pic.ps 4pic.png"
You might have to fix the paths in the IDL command or go to the proper directory before (CD, "myDir").

If the IDL spawn command behaves as from the linux command line, then I would recommend to:
1) use Coyote's pros to generate a PS output
2) convert yourself with the spawn command

Now, my guess is that spawn of the same command won't work. But I'm guessing so I should stop here...

Cheers,
Helder
