IDL and page orientation

In case you ever want to rotate a postscript file that’s in seascape orientation into ordinary landscape orientation, e.g. because IDL produces postscript files that are seascape, you can use this command for ghostscript:

gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=pstest.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite “-dAutoRotatePages=/None” -c “<< /Orientation 1 >> setpagedevice” 0 rotate 0 0 translate -f pstest.ps
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=pstest.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite "-dAutoRotatePages=/None" -c "<< /Orientation 1 >> setpagedevice" 0 rotate 0 0 translate -f pstest.ps
where of course pstest.pdf and pstest.ps are the names of the files.
A more convenient way is to rotate within IDL, though, e.g. by using David Fanning’s fixps.pro.
