Why doesn't iplot have a /nodata keyword? [message #60848]

Why doesn't iplot have a /nodata keyword for use with /overplot, like
the old plot keyword.
It would be nice to be able to overplot many lines, and then
manipulate the graph after all plots are done, without having to use
things like DoSetProperty. For example, I recorded a simple macro
that adds a legend to a plot. The problem is I can't call it on a
iplot command line without using an /overplot, which requires some
data. This adds a new data series that then shows up in my legend.

This can all be done with doSetProperty, but it seems like it would be
a lot easier to manipulate the axis/titles/legends/etc. after the fact
if you had a way to call iplot with no data. Seems like you could
kluge it with a macro that just deletes the last plot in the data
space, but in the past I have found /nodata a useful approach.
