polyfill errors? [message #26348] Wed, 22 August 2001 04:17

Hi,

I'm at the end of my tether on this one and would really appreciate any
help that you can give, it may well just be a silly error on my part
(problems seeing the woods for the trees). Polyfill seems to
systematically shift the y-values in some plots of a multiplot by a
random amount which leads to plots which are not what is required.

The current code contains the following:

!P.Multi=[0,4,7,0,0]

; Plot the values.
;
for sig=0,6 do begin
for laa=0,3 do begin
xrange=[0,21]
yrange=[-2,3]
Plot,xrange,yrange,xstyle=8+1,ystyle=8+1,$
Yticks=5,Yminor=1,Xticks=3,Xminor=1,$
/Nodata
; Shade the area between the upper and lower estimates in light
grey.
upper=upperbeta(*,laa,sig)
lower=lowerbeta(*,laa,sig)
toohigh=where(upper gt 3.,hc)
if hc gt 0 then upper(toohigh)=3.
toolow=where(lower lt -2,lc)
if lc gt 0 then lower(toolow)=-2
xvalue=indgen(21)+1
xplots=[xvalue,reverse(xvalue)]
yplots=[lower,reverse(upper)]
polyfill, xplots,yplots,color=1

; Over plot the variables back on the plot.
oplot,xvalue,betabest(*,laa,sig),thick=3
oplot,xvalue,upper
oplot,xvalue,lower
plots,[0,21],[0,0],thick=3
plots,[0,21],[1,1],thick=3
plots,[0,21],[3,3]
plots,[21,21],[-2,3]

; Overplot crosses on the x-axis for those truncations that fail the
test
; on the residuals
residuals=where(testpass(*,laa,sig) lt 0.1, countconsfail)
residuals=residuals+1
if countconsfail ge 1 then begin
pltvals=fltarr(21)
pltvals(*)=-1.75
oplot,residuals,pltvals,psym=2
print,'Residuals inconsistent.'
endif
endfor
endfor

So, I end up with 24 plots (4x7) with three plot lines on each and an
area of grey-shading that should be enclosed by the upper and lower
lines. Trouble is it isn't!!! It is shifted vertically in some cases
(either up or down) within the postscript output. I can send anyone who
is interested in seeing exactly how an example .ps file (please email me
if you are). I'm using IDL 5.4.

Also perhaps a tad easier, is there any way to input a line between the
2nd and 3rd and the 4th and 5th rows of the multi-plot? IDL online help
doesn't immediately suggest that there is ...

Any help on either of these very very gratefully received.

Thanks

Peter
