New to IDL and having troubles [message #16017] Tue, 22 June 1999 00:00

I looked for a FAQ regarding this NG and didn't find one, so I'm going
to just jump right in --

I was just introduced to IDL last week and given a few *.pro files that
gereated postscript files of graphs from external data files and I was
told to modify one of them to display my data -- well, no such luck. I
did get to the point of have about 2/3 of one of the plots on my graph.
The situation is this -- I have a file with 6 space delimited colums and
126 rows. I want to plot the column 1 vs. column 3 and column 5. Most
of the time I'm just getting one axis and maybe the title of the graph
in my postscript file.

My boss gave me a few books, including the "Using IDL" manual and I read
the chapter on graphing and tried to do some of thier examples, but they
didn't work for me either!

Now, I'm not new programming (I'm also not a serious programmer, but I
can get by) and this is frustrating the heck out of me. Does anybody
know what might be wrong?

Thanks for any help you can giv
