I'm saying he not only would have used IDL, he would
have preferred it to Matlab! :-)

Are you saying that Feynmann used IDL?

Wow, Olaf, two replies to the same question. It must
be your day. :-)
After I hit the SEND button just now, I thought of
a better answer.
I've been reading James Gleck's book _Genius: The
Life and Science of Richard Feynman_. Fabulous book!
But last night I read that Feynman could walk into
a room and overhear the tiniest part of a mathematical
discussion and declare, "That's wrong.". He was invariably
right. "He told [the staff] that he could spot wrong results
even when he had no idea what was right -- something
about the smoothness of the numbers of the relationships
between them."
It's kinda like that. :-)
Cheers,
David

I'm sure it's the iTools. But have a beer for me, too.
(I've had to give up drinking as part of my tennis
training regime. This is going to be *my* year! At
least it better be, time is running out. :-(
I wasn't surprised about the difficulty with axis
labelling, because I had substantial doubts that
the way you tried to manipulate the program would
work the way you thought it would.
I don't know the answer to your question, however.
I'm not sure it can be done at all. I feel more
confident asserting that even if we knew the answer,
the chance that we could make an iTool implement it
without RSI's help would be pretty small. :-)
Cheers,
David

Um, yes? Why? Am I in a real need for the weekend or
are the itols to blame? :-)

After zooming the whole plot I realised that this 0
is instead the 10 misplaced at the wrong value! Strange.
