Hello all,
I'm trying to learn to use LIVE_PLOT in IDL5.1 and can't figure out how to
specify the
label for the y-axis (YTITLE in the old PLOT routine). I've spent a good
bit of time
reading up on LIVE_PLOT and LIVE_STYLE, but must be overlooking something.
It always comes up labelled as "Y". If I click on it, I get a properties
sheet with
an entry for title and I can change it there, but I don't see how to get it
specified
programatically on creation.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,
Craig Hamilton

Hello,
I posted the answer some weeks ago - forgive my repetition, but now the old
article follows:
A way to do this with LIVE_STYLE is:
IDL> x = findgen(10) ; only for example...
IDL> y = sin(x)
IDL> style=live_style('plot',$
xaxis_properties={axis:'Independent Variable'})
IDL> live_plot,y,independent=x,style=style
This works also for the yaxis:
IDL> style=live_style('plot',$
yaxis_properties={axis:'Dependent Variable'})
IDL> live_plot,y,independent=x,style=style
