If the array is too large (too many rows or columns), I use enscript to shrink it to fit on a page. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Could possibly be piped to (say) ghostscript ? I use gnuplot for most of my graphs. It displays under X, and can generate Postscript files for high quality output, or a myriad of other device formats, including HPLJ. For geographic data, I use GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) which only creates Postscript. It creates publication quality graphics - but you may not like the interface. Fortunately, the documentation is excellent, and if you persist, you will be rewarded. Postscript can be piped to ghostview (don't know about ghostscript) which is the graphical interface for ghostscript.
