The result looks same on paper as well. I was comparing the two ps file one from IDL one from MPL.

I use xpdf distiller, and set the pdf comparison to 0 in the rc file. http://ccnworks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/test.png http://ccnworks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/test.ps http://ccnworks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/test.eps http://ccnworks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/test.pdf PS and EPS outputs are almost alike to my eye. Setting ps.distiller.res to 6000 DPI doesn't make a difference either. PDF backend produces the highest quality output. However the problem with that I can't include pdf images on a regular OpenOffice document :( With xpdf the line is plotted blue correctly as it is seen on my screen. Before it was drawing a red-line. -- Gökhan
