Well, first of all, is there *room* for a colorbar when
you specify multiple plots with !P.MULTI? Unless you
are using a VERY thin colorbar, I can't imagine there
would be.
If there is room, then I would draw all the plots, *then*
put the colorbar on the plots. The reason for this is that
!P.MULTI is setting and interacting with lots of system
variables to do its thing. And Colorbar uses a PLOT command
to annotate the colorbar, so there is a possibility for
unwanted interactions between !P.MULTI and the PLOT in
the Colorbar routine.
I've never tried this, exactly, and graduation is tomorrow
for my youngest son, and I have a house full of family, so...
Let me know.
Cheers,
David
