How to reduce the size of the postscript file generated by v

[Tao Chen]

Hi,

I am using the following statements to save a plot (eye diagram) to a
postscript file:
hardCopyOptions(?hcOutputFile "waveform.eps")
awvSetOptionValue("hcHeader" nil)
awvSetOptionValue("hcMailLogNames" nil)
hardCopy(plotHandler)

where the plotHandler is the window id of the figure.

Then I use the tool "epstopdf" to get the figure in pdf format. There
is no doubt that the figure generated by virtuoso 6.1 is much more
beautiful than those generated by icfb 5.1. However, the file size of
the new version is almost 30 times bigger than that of the old
version! It is a little weird to me since the waveforms are the same.
Is there any way to reduce the size of the figure file?

Thanks!
Tao
