I'm not sure you have provided enough information here, but based on
what you have told us, I wonder which color table you are using. If you
are using the default grayscale, you are probably plotting and just
cannot see it because it is too dark. A quick check would be to simply
remove the COLOR=13 bit from your plots command and let it default to
the top of the color table.. then you should get white on black.
There's lots of other things is _could_ be.. if you still have trouble,
post the (simplified) code and I'm sure someone can help you.
