How to reduce the size of the postscript file generated by virtuoso6.1

    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
