being clever with postscript [message #60270]

OK, here's the situation I'm sick of: I've written a pile of code
that, after performing some amazing array manipulation, generates some
beautiful plots. Now I'd like to include the plots in a scientific
paper by creating encapsulated postscript files. The problem is, for
many of the plots I will want to convert them to black and white to
save printing costs. For those that I want to leave in color, I'll
need both CMYK and RGB versions (CMYK for the printers, and RBG to put
on-line).

Can anyone come up with a cleaver wrapper to put around my plot
commands so that IDL outputs B&W, RGB, and CMYK postscript files? It
would really be handy if I could open multiple devices to plot to
simultaneously, but I don't see any way to do that.

I could just write a loop around all my current "device" calls, but I
was hoping for something more elegant.

cheers,
IP Freeley
