Hi, Is it possible to get a list and images of fonts that can be used in the cgplot or the plot command in the idl session. Something like cindex that gives the color and the associated index number. Thanks in Advance Gompie

Are you looking for something like the SHOWFONT command? Cheers, David -- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting, Inc.

By the way, you can get a list of fonts like this: IDL> DEVICE, GET_FONTNAMES=fnames, SET_FONT='*' IDL> print, fnames Cheers, David -- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting, Inc.

Thanks David, I want to cherry pick from a list wherein I can see the name of the font along with the font itself, to help me select the font. Something like the fonts selection in ms word.

I guess this would be useful for the 2-3 people who don't use Helvetica font. ;-) Cheers, David -- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting, Inc.
