This function creates a postscript-compatible print file of the image displayed in Graphics.

To run this function: Choose File > Images > Save postscript image, or...

• In the Function Chooser, type POSTSCRIPT DUMP, and press ENTER.
• In the Function Chooser, type POSTSCRIPT DUMP PLOT, and press ENTER.
• In the Function Chooser, type POSTSCRIPT DUMP SHEET SETUP, and press ENTER.

Note: In a macro, you can also activate this functionality by running the following functions: POSTSCRIPT DUMP STABILITY, POSTSCRIPT DUMP STATISTICS, and POSTSCRIPT DUMP VARIOGRAM. Each of these functions run only when a specific window is active. These windows are the Stability Monitoring window, the Basic Statistics window, and the Variogram Modelling window respectively.

There are a number of different graphics windows used by the various application modules of the software. These include the 3D graphics window, plotting window, plotting sheet setup window, stability monitoring window, statistics window and a variogram window. For each window a special function exists to save the postscript file. This is to ensure the correct image for the window of interest is saved.

Enter the name of the output postscript file.

Postscript output produces good quality with relatively small file sizes for images that include line drawings and colour fill with solid colours. Any images that involve colour shading of any type that generates colour variation from one pixel to another within a polygon or triangle do not produce good results in a postscript output. You should use the Image file function for better results in these cases.
