I'm making some surface plots using shade_surf, I would like to set the
x,y axes on an arbitrary side of the plotting box. IDL seems to make some
unjudicous choices about where to put these, which is really annoying! I
can't find anything in the help pages (IDL 5.2), is there any trick or is
this a bug? appreciate any help, thank you!

Oh, just remove that check from the code. The program
will run in IDL 5.3. I just used some useful PRINTER
keywords that were introduced in IDL 5.4. So, as long
as you don't want to print anything... :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. You *can* print, you will just have to work
around those darn useful keywords.

however, it requires idl 5.3 to run :( , I have been maintaining my license
up untill a few months age, but never upgraded because of the GIF issue (GIF
was removed from IDL till 5.5, correct?). I missed the boat (maintenance is
expired) to go to 5.5, but I've got the media for 5.3, is it possible
to add only the component of 5.3 that is required?
