Hi All,
I'm not sure if I'm losing my mind here but I'm trying to use a black
background in an iplot and have the axes/text etc white. The actual
plot data itself is working fine with the colours i'm choosing. I
naively thought setting the color keyword to white would fix this but
it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any idea where I'm going wrong?
Cheers
Max

In IDL 7.1.2 there is no mention of the x/ycolor keyword in the iplot
help. I tried it anyway with RGB values and it doesn't work (no error
but the axes and text are still all black).

I had not noticed this discussion before. Could it not be done with
something like
iplot,dindgen(100),color='white',background_color='black',fo nt_color='white',xcolor='white',ycolor='white',title='title' ,xtitle='x',ytitle='y'
(the color names only being available from 8.0; they would have to be
RGB values otherwise).

Really!? Make the plot wrong, *then* change the color!
I'm afraid I'm never going to understand iTools. :-(

For those that are interested in 7.1 and later you use isetproperty
after the iplot call to change the colour for the axes* properties
COLOR=.
What a nightmare, to think I was considering building some sort of
interactive app with this... Checking out Catalyst now David!
