Oh, be sure to add a SAVE to the AXIS command,
so you can draw something on it! :-)
Cheers,

This is a really common problem. I should write an
article about it. :-)
The problem is that log axes are "sticky", unlike
almost everything else in IDL. Once you do something
with logs, IDL appears to remember it forever. (Probably
holding it against you, for all I know.)
What you have to do is "unstick" the log axis before
you make your AXIS call. You need something like this:
plot, o_arr,10^(alt_arr),ylog,,ystyle=9,ytitle='Pressure'
!Y.Type=0
axis,yaxis=1, ystyle=1,ytitle = 'Altitude',color=1,yrange=[0,40]
Cheers,
David
