I also want to remove the plot by licking on a button. do we have
anything like "diplot" to remove the selected curve?

You don't have to draw a plot. But you do have to have some
way of setting up the data coordinate system, so you have
something to overplot *on*. Do you have an alternative
method?
You can, of course, draw a plot in which nothing appears.
This, basically, just sets up the data coordinate system
for you:
Plot, [0,1], /NoData, YSTYLE=4, XSTYLE=4, XRANGE=[0,10], YRANGE=[0,1]

Well, you need a legend. You can probably find one ready-
built in the IDL software libraries that can be found on the
Internet, or you can just build your own legend with a combination
of PLOTS and XYOUTS commands.
Plots, [0.1, 0.2], [0.85, 0.85], /Normal, Color=FSC_Color('red')
XYOUTS, 0.21, 0.84, /Normal, 'Red indicates danger'
Plots, [0.1, 0.2], [0.80, 0.80], /Normal, Color=FSC_Color('blue')
XYOUTS, 0.21, 0.79, /Normal, 'Blue indicates safety'
Cheers,
David

Thanks David, I used
Plot, [0,1], /NoData, YSTYLE=4, XSTYLE=4, XRANGE=[0,10], YRANGE=[0,1]
and it fixed the first problem. But is there any way that I can
selectively remove the plotted curves? for example, by clicking the
button relevant to each curve, I want it to be off the draw window.
Cheers
Afra
