Folks,
Has anyone ever noticed that object graphics vector PostScript
output of axes with exponential labels drops the "x" in
exponential numbers? That is, "2 x 10-9" becomes "2 10-9"
when saved to PostScript.
Very strange. You can see this for yourself by download
XPLOT and removing the comment on line 269 that prevents
vector PostScript output:
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/xplot.pro
Then, type this command:
IDL> xplot, findgen(101) * 10e9
Selecting "PostScript" from the "Output" menu will
result in a PostScript file being created with the "x"s
dropped out. Removing the VECTOR keyword produces correct
output, but at the cost of a significantly larger PS file.
Cheers,
David
