I have a question that seems to be simple, but the answer continues to
elude me....
I have a straight-forward 2D plot (rainfall time series) that I want
to import to powerpoint, BUT I would like to import it with a
transparent background. Basically, I just want the plot with no
background color. I have read the previous posts, but am lead to
believe that 8.0 should be more simple.
Below is my plot command:
p=PLOT(leeTRMMday, color
='magenta',yrange=[0,0.5],thick=2,xticks=12,xtickname = months,$
title='1998 - 2009 TRMM daily climatology',
background='transparent')
Is the BACKGROUND keyword used properly? The plot is what I want, but
the background is still white.There are no compilation errors. What
exactly does the BACKGROUND keyword in the PLOT procedure represent?
Is this not the correct way to reference a clear background for a
plot?
Thank you for any hints.
cheers,
teddy allen
