Yes, I can see that. I just don't understand what you
would be testing if none of the keywords work with it. ;-)
My rule of thumb for iTools is that things work when
they work and don't when they don't. I learned this
philosophy when working in Africa.
Cheers,
David

TEST is an undocumented keyword used by the developers to get a plot on
the screen, quickly. It would be at odds to use it with NODATA.

I understand why. They are incomprehensible! Why
doesn't *this* work, for example, following your
example!?
iplot, /test, /nodata
Sheesh!

Erm, this shows how often I use itools. How about this:
x = findgen(10)
iplot, x, style='idl classic', /nodata
iplot, x, color=[200,0,0], /overplot

How do you change the color of the data when you do
this, though? This doesn't seem to work:
IDL> iplot, /test, style='idl classic', color=[30,144,255]

Hi Max,
Try the STYLE keyword:
IDL> iplot, /test, style='idl classic'

I don't know anything about iPlots, but if you give up
on them, Coyote Graphics plots know how to do this:
IDL> cgplot, cgdemodata(1), background='black', $
color='pink', axiscolor='white', /window
Cheers,
