Bill,
Well....not too much futzing...
I used your approach and it works nicely now. Thanks,
Rob
pro test_grid_win
; Test program
xsize = (ysize = 500)
device,decomposed = 0 & loadct,0,/silent
nx = 10 & board = byte(round(randomu(s,nx,nx)))
window,0,xsize = xsize,ysize = ysize
dx = 1./float(nx)
erase,255B
plot, [0,1],[0,1], /nodata, xgrid=1, ygrid=1,background = 255B,xmargin
= [1,1],ymargin = [1,1],/noerase
c1 = convert_coord(0.,0.,/data,/to_device)
c2 = convert_coord(1.,1.,/data,/to_device)
nxsize = c2[0] - c1[0]
nysize = c2[1] - c1[1]
tv,byte(255*congrid(board,nxsize,nysize)),c1[0],c1[1],xsize =
nxsize,ysize = nysize,/device

Bill,
Thanks for your reply. I am using TV to put an image in the window
prior to drawing the grid. To use the method you propose I will need
to scale the image into the plot axes. Rather than use TV as I've been
doing, I think that I'll have to futz around a bit. I have been trying
to use TV rather than some other image display wrapper because the
images I'm displaying are not static. I want the display part of my
program to work as fast as possible. In any case, what I'm doing might
not be as straightforward as I had originally hoped. Thanks for your
help.
Rob

Rob,
Try this version of your program. The comments explain what you need to change and why.
