Print more than one subwindow in ps (pdf) file from ocean with ViVA

Hello,

I found interesting issue with ViVA running from ocean.

If I try to print the window with more than one subwindow in a .ps or .pdf files from ViVA menu everything is fine. It means here that print should be started really through the ViVA menu: "File"->"Print"->"Print to File PS/PDF". The result is ps/pdf file with all subwindows plotted in one page.

If I try to print the ViVA window in .ps or .pdf file  from ocean, with hardCopy() and hardCopyOptions() set properly, I will only get actual one subwindow plotted! I was near to give up, because I saw that ?hcMakeExactCopy option doesn't work for ps. But after some tests I got even from ocean properly all subwindows plotted! Unfortunately it happens only if during the opened ocean session, I make one manuel print  through the menu File->Print! Once (during the opened ocean session) manual print has been made, if you go again to the ocean and print with the hardCopy() everything is fine! But once session is left and started again the hardCopy() behaves normal again with the single subwindow print!

I wonder if it is any way to get the hardCopy() to plot all subwindows. Obviously it is possible if some "handwork" has been made prior to it. I tried to find if some config files have been written by this "handwork" but I couldn't find anything.

Is it generally possible to print more than one subwindow into the .ps or .pdf file with ViVA with the hardCopy()? As I try to explain here it is obviosly that it hardCopy() can do this, but it seems that something is wrong...

Regards,

Dalibor.
