Any suggestions will be appreciated. Otto Linsuain. > First, you suppres the graphics output ny adding the option to the plot DisplayFunction->Identity: In[1]:= myplot=Plot[ Sin[x] , {x, 0, 2 Pi} , DisplayFunction->Identity] Out[1]= --Graphics-- Then export the plot to the file: In[2]:= Display["myplot.eps",myplot,"EPS"] Out[2]= --Graphics-- You hould have the PostScript file called myplot.eps somewhere on your disc.
