And again more about Plot! [message #47007]

Hi everyone,

I have been reading some previous articles about plotting using colors,
color tables and so forth and it is frustrating to say the least. I
only wanted to use IDL to do some scientific work but it seems that I
am more and more being sucked into IDL programming. To do things that
are simple, in MATLAB for example, requires a minor course and a panel
of experts in IDL. And so I come to plotting. I have seen many examples
where the plot script starts out like this:
PLOT, x, /NODATA

and then other parameters are plotted using OPLOT. I know what /NODATA
does but why is it done this way? Is it to avoid making long PLOT
statements? It seems, on the surface, unnecessary.

Cheers,
Sheldon
