I want to plot data with only the lower x axis and the left y axis
showing. This requires that I set xstyle=8 and ystyle =8. Pretty
simple. But, I also want to strictly set the axis, e.g. to set
xrange=[5,30] and yrange=[0,200]. This requires that xstyle=1 and
ystyle=1.
Since I can only set the style parameters to a single value, I can
either have the plot draw left/lower axis, in which case IDL sets the
ranges as it pleases, or I can set the ranges, in which case IDL makes
more axes than I want to see. I could solve this with multiple plot
and axis commands, but is there an easier, perhaps one-line way to do
this?
Cheers,
Daniel Williams

[xyz] style values are bimary flags, so you can simply combine them by
adding them together. In your example this would be xstyle=9.
