All I can say, Pavel, is that it is a good thing those
Ibuprofen finally kicked in, and I have those 30 year
olds in my sights again, or you would be in a great
deal of trouble!
Cheers,
David

Lisa,
Just ignore David. He is one of the most annoying people here, and his
advice is worthless, and his website is slower than a car that's run out
of gas... oops, what did I just say? Did I already hit Send?..
Are you feeling a little more avenged now?...
On a more serious note, this is one newsgroup that is as funny as it is
helpful. And David is the prime example of this. Most regular posters
have a good sense of humor and try to pick on each other as much as they
can, to everyone's delight.
Stay with us and I promise you will get to love the postings. I
personally got so addicted that my mornings are gloomy if I don't read
one of David's remarks on the NG. This happens when he goes on trips or
plays tennis to exhaustion.
Cheers,
Pavel

It is hard to tell, with electronic conversation, whether
something is just bristling with irony or not, but I hope
you mean the smiley face and are not put off about asking
questions here.
As you can tell by the thread on double precision values
this morning, we are generally long-suffering. Some of
us, however, are getting rather long of tooth and have
a tendency to be crotchety on occasion. I apologize if my
attempt at gentle humor came across too stridently. Lord knows
we appreciate a woman's voice here.
Cheers,
David
P.S. Did you discover the problem? Was it with
plotting system variables?

Sorry to give you the shivers, no I don't know much about IDL because
I just began to program with it. Sorry I'm still learning, appreciate
the sarcastic comments they brightened my day :).

I'm just confused, not frightened. Maybe that's because you understand
it better than I do? :-) What's the point of setting decomposed to the
same value it currently has?

Lisa,
If I appear skeptical, please forgive me. I'm growing older
every day and this kind of code:
> set_plot,'WIN'
> If !D.NAME EQ 'WIN' then begin
> device,get_decomposed = currentDecomp
> device,decomposed = currentDecomp

gives me the shivers. :-)
I'm going to contend that there is nothing
wrong with your draw widget or with the IDL
Plot command. Rather, I think there is something
in your environment that is decidedly NOT the
same between your IDL 5.4 and IDL 5.5 sessions.
I'm going to risk all and bet you have set a
!P.POSITION system variable inadvertently in
your IDL 5.5 session. :-)
Cheers,
David
