Hello,

when calling the plot routine, I found that I cannot use all kind of
strings as title strings:
Quote:

IDL> x = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
IDL> y = [1,2,3,4,7,8]
IDL> plot, x,y,xtitle="x",ytitle="y"
IDL> plot, x,y,xtitle="1",ytitle="2"

plot, x,y,xtitle="1",ytitle="2"
^
% Syntax error.
IDL>

I get no syntax error in the first case and one in the second. I don't
really see why. Especially as the examples are to my eyes exactly alike.
Are strings, that contain only figures not allowed?
I'm using IDL 6.1

Regards,
Ingo
