Thanks!
Yeah, for the TDS 420A, a real picture will show the background (grid etc) with lower intensity than the actual signal while the bitmap is just black and white. So you definitely have a point there. A TDS 784D with a color display has a multi-color bitmap and doesn't have that problem.
But for the spectrum analyzer, I definitely prefer the bitmap.

I haven't tried HPGL output, but when you select "Enscapulate Postscript Color", it still outputs mono. The same setting on a 784D creates a color output.
