IDL Interface Guide: The IDL Development Environment

Printing in IDL

IDL allows you two ways to print:

Printing graphics from the IDL language

Printing IDL source code from the File menu of the IDLDE.

While these sources are fundamentally different, the methods used to specify and configure a print device according to your operating system are the same. This topic is covered in the following sections. See "Printing Graphics" (Chapter 8, Using IDL) for information on how to print from an IDL program.

Printer setup in Windows is relatively straightforward, and is described in the following section. UNIX printer setup is slightly more involved and is covered in IDL Printer Setup in UNIX or Mac OS X.

IDL Printer Setup in Windows

Setting up a printer in IDL for Windows uses the common Windows Printer Setup dialog. For more information on setting up a Printer on Windows, see your Windows operating system documentation or support.
