    I am using VECTOR function to make vector plot. But the resulting plot is always showing up in separate 'x' window even if I set device as 'ps' as postscript. The postscript file generated has zero size. I use IDL 8.8.2 on M1 Mac with macOS 12.6. This seems the case on other systems too! Thanks a lot!

    You are confusing direct graphics setup (DEVICE procedure) with function graphics rendering (VECTOR function).

    This is the correct way to save a VECTOR function into a PostScript file:

    v = vector(/test)
    v.save,'test.ps'
