I think the simplest answer is that there is something
in your script that is changing the data coordinate
system from map coordinates to something else. What kind
of commands do you have between your MAP_SET and your PLOTS
commands?

Try to answer as many questions as possible on the IDL
newsgroup, especially if you think you know the answer.
Nothing improves your IDL knowledge more than hitting
that SEND button!!

Cheers,

David

David,

Thanks, that was it, I was restoring my variables after I had set my

Now it works great. Thanks,
