Katie,

OPLOT bizarrely doesn't allow this, but fortunately someone stepped up
and wrote the OPLOTS routine that will get the job done:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.idl-pvwave/browse_t hread/thread/e11a9c983151e0f3/2bbaddec12f5b8d5?hl=en&lnk =gst&q=oplots#2bbaddec12f5b8d5

If you don't like the selection of symbols available natively, there
is also SYMCAT, which will give you just about anything:
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/symcat.pro

So you'd end up with

OPLOTS,lons,lats,psym=SYMCAT(15),color=BYTSCL(temperature)

A little dickering with the SYMSIZE and THICK keywords, and you can
probably get what you want.
