Replace the code above with this:
IF KEYWORD_SET(vertical) THEN BEGIN
PLOT, [1,10], /NODATA, XTICKS=1, YTICKS=divisions, XSTYLE=1, YSTYLE=9, $
POSITION=position, COLOR=color, CHARSIZE=charsize, /NOERASE, $
YTICKFORMAT='(a1)', XTICKFORMAT='(A1)', YTICKLEN=0.1 , $
YRANGE=[min, max], YTITLE=title
AXIS, YAXIS=1, YRANGE=[min, max], YTICKFORMAT=format, YTICKS=divisions, $
YTICKLEN=0.1, YTITLE=title, YSTYLE=1
Now it's labelled on the right.
David I'm not trying to sell you anything, but you really ought to get
a copy of my book "IDL Programming". You will learn a *lot* about IDL
from that. You can order it from Floating Point Systems there in the
UK. I used the code from the book to make this change. I promise
that it will make a huge difference in your IDL programming! :-)
Cheers!
David
