This works with gnuplot postsrcipt output (but there are some scaling problems which have to be corrected manually). However, IslandDraw is unable to convert Mathematica Postscript output. Even a simple Line can not be incorporated. Mathematica Postscript seems to be too confusing for this simple minded converter. I have complained this to ArborText (weeks ago) but they haven`t answerd yet . Therefore I am currently transferring my data from Mathematica to gnuplot, plot the graphs, produce Postscript output, correct this manually, convert this to IslandDraw, correct it again and refine it. The final output is superb, but the way to it annoying. Heino Falcke
