I have two issues with plotting in the new IDL 8.0. They seem like
fairly straightforward problems, but I can't seem to find a way around
them. I'd be grateful of any advice you can give me.
(1) I have a widget program which is using the new IDL 8.0 graphics,
and I finally figured out how I can access the plot commands in other
widget programs. I am able to change things like axis titles, ranges,
etc. However, when I change the color table and attempt to do a
graphic.rgb_table=new_rgb_table that is associated with my new color
table, nothing happens. In fact, it looks like the rgb_table and
vert_colors commands are Init variables that cannot be re-defined
later in the program. However, the new documentation indicates that
the values are changeable. Has anyone else encountered this?
(2) I'm trying to set up the z axis ticks and title to be at the back
of the surface plot. The z axis defaults to a location right in front
of the surface, and is often obscured by the data. I noticed that
even the documentation examples always show that z axis in front
rather than at the back of the y axis. Anyone know of a quick-fix?
Thanks in advance,
Leslie Sherrill
