Anyone know why XYOUTS "wraps" back? Why does it place labels
on the plot area even though the specified locations are waay
outside the view area?
Here is an example of what I mean..
xr=[99.9,100.1] & yr=[-20,20] ;define the plotting area
x=findgen(1000)*0.1+100. ;points at which to mark labels
;(expect only 2 within defined area)
y=randomn(seed,1000)*5. ;y-locations, staggered for readability
l=strtrim(x,2) ;labels, same as x-positions
plot,[0],xrange=xr,yrange=yr ;set up plotting area
xyouts,x,y,l ;plot the labels
the actual numbers that show up on the viewing area appear to
depend on the size of the window and XRANGE. Sometimes there
are also horizontal lines running across the window.
this does not happen if one sets plotting device to 'ps'
thanks to Jim Petreshock, I do have a workaround (use keyword
NOCLIP=0 for XYOUTS), but this feature is so strange that I
would like to know the explanation, if anyone knows it!
I am using IDL4 and IDL5.1 on Solaris 2.5 .
Thanks,
Vinay
