Postscript plots squished and a plot tick problem. [message #15948]

When I make a postscript file with IDL, it thinks that the middle of the
page is the bottom of the page. Is this a common problem?

Also, there's another problem.

Making line plots seems to have gone wrong. Even if I specify
XTICKV,XTICKS,XTICKNAME,XRANGE, all that stuff, the first number is
ALWAYS zero.

I can't get any plot without the first value being zero. So, if I want a
plot of (value) zero to whatever, it's ok, except if I want the first
tick value to be, say, 10. What I get is a number 10 superimposed
on-top-of a number zero ("0"). Kinda looks like a squished "100".

If I set the first value to, say, 200 to 220, the 200-220 tickmarks are
way over on the right of the plot and a zero is on the left end, like it
thinks the plot should start at zero (which it's doing.). >:-<

This is a new thing that JUST popped up and I've been doing nothin
different.
The only way to get rid of the zero is to set XTICKFORMAT not to display
numbers, although, the plot still starts at zero.
