Yes, that is true - I had forgotten about my friend the /noerase
keyword. I am now trying to decide whether it would be worth my (and
the IDL community's) time to write a routine that does some of the
position calculating for you, particularly when making an inset on a
page with multiple plots. Is this something people need, or should I
not worry about it?
