Hi all,
I am working on an old IDL code right now. And several parts of the
code do not work well. I am nor sure whether it is because of the
version or because of the poor coding. (But this is a published code.
It should not have many problems.) Anyway, I found that in the code
BIDS and bIDS stand for different variables. Is it true that IDL used
to tell the difference between upper letters and lower letters?
Besides, I found another sentence,
SET_PLOT,'x'
which cannot work well on my computer. By the way, I am using IDL 7.0
on a windows platform. This sentence is in the part of the code which
is mean to generate a PS file output. Because there is
SET_PLOT,'ps'
ahead of it.
And then the configuration is set back. But "SET_PLOT,'X'" just does
not work on my computer. Sorry I do not really understand how to
correct. I even do not know what it should be corrected to. But if any
one has any idea, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Tongmu LI

you need to replace with
set_plot,'win'
or do
thisdevice=!d.name
set_plot,'ps'
...
set_plot,thisdevice
