How can you define the line thickness of the axis in a plot or contour
statement? !P.THICK and the keyword THICK have no effect to the axis
plotting into a postscript file. Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry, I didn't make clear that I'm using PV-WAVE 3.10 on a Personal Iris.
XTHICK, YTHICK and ZTHICK may work in IDL but they don't in PV-WAVE.
Any other solution?

Robert E. Boughner has a solution:

Stupid me, there are system variables for controlling the axis thickness and
they are documented and work in PV-WAVE. I was looking for a keyword and
couldn't find it, so I gave up. But will PVI incorporate the keywords
XTHICK... into PV-WAVE some day? Thanks again for your help.
