Golla,

The way I deal with the pale figures is by opening the .ps file in a text editor prior to converting to pdf and changing the /lw setting to 750:

/lw {750 div setlinewidth} def

Then after changing the linewidth parameter I convert to pdf or jpg or png or whatever format I want.

Other folks can help you with the legend.

Hi all,
I want to plot publishing quality line plot in ferret with multiple parameters in same plot (say 4 parameters). Two in thick colour (thick blue, thick black) and two in light (light blue, light black). If I use the "plot", then "/over" command then I am not getting how to keep the legend. If I use all parameters together in plot command and use go legend command I am not able to control the colors. So is there any smart way to deal with this problem?

Moreover, the plot (thick=3 option) command figures saved in eps/ps formats are becoming somewhat pale after converting into pdf file. Is there any way to get maximum thickness (publishing quality) ?

Thanks in advance.
