Hello, there. I'm using PLOT (and OPLOT) to create a (what else?) plot of some
data. I'm using TICKLEN = 1.0 to have a grid displayed. The grid comes up on
the major ticks okay, but IDL draws the minor ticks pointing inward. What I'd
like to do is have a grid with the minor tickmarks *outside* the graph. The
PLOT parameter TICKLEN, when negative, draws the ticks (minor and major)
outside the graph, but doing this also turns off the grid!
Does anyone know how to resolve this dilemma? I would like a grid displayed
with the minor tickmarks outside the graph, and the TICKLEN keyword doesn't
seem to be able to handle this combination. Any ideas?
Btw, I tried using PLOT with a negative TICKLEN and /NODATA, then OPLOT with a
TICKLEN of 1.0. This gave me tickmarks inside and outside as well as the grid,
but the axis labels were written twice *in different places*. It looks ugly,
folks. Is there any hope in this approach, or should I give it up? Thanks.
