Interesting. Looks like they still have a float somewhere in the ylog
part of the code. oops.


IDL> plot,[0],[0],xrange=[0,10],yrange=[1d35,1d41]

IDL> plot,[0],[0],xrange=[0,10],yrange=[1d35,1d41],/ylog

Program caused arithmetic error: Floating overflow





The first looks fine, it has the minor ticks. With ylog, they disappear.





Cheers,

bob

Yes, I think it is a "double" problem myself. Didn't this
get fixed sometime in the recent past? I remember something,
but can't remember what I remember. :-(

Cheers,
