Hi, I'm having problems with PostScript generated by IDL_5.1 on a
Linux system -- I expect the problem to be general, though.

In principle, I'd like to use the Live_tools and other procedures
(like Insight) that allows easy printing of plots already on screen.

The generated PostScript is, however, rather useless since even the
simplest plot generates very large PostScript files. The problem seems
to be that the screen buffer is simply copied, rather than redrawing
the plot to the printer device. A very large bitmap is therefore
written instead of a few PostScript primitives.

A sad consequence of this is also, that PostScript tools (like PSfrags
for LaTeX) won't work.

I wonder, if there is a way to redraw a view generated by a procedure
like live_plot to a direct graphics device? Other suggestions? Any
help is appreciated.

Cheers, Lars
