Hallo everybody in this group!

I have writen a small program to colect color images from an "analyse tool",
put them on one sheet and store them in several graphics formats (*.jpg,
*.xjt, and ohters).
I have employed IDL object oriented graphics.

I want also to write *.eps files. Until now this is done by the Xprinter
using the
setup option 'Generic (File Only ) ' wiht EPSP-format selected.
I draw the IDLgrView object to the IDLgrPrinter object.


The problem is that I get *.eps files with the images being correctly
rendered,
except for color. The images are only grayscaled.

What I´m doing wrong?

Milan.
