Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply. The main purpose here is to set the YRANGE and make all plots obey the YRANGe set by a. I tried your second method, but I need to use the following three lines to get a "normal" plot

IDL> a=plot([0,1,3])
IDL> b = plot([-1,1,2],/overplot)
IDL> c=plot([-1,1,3],/overplot, yrange=[0,3])

If I put yrange keyword in b, it doesn't help at all. Part of the line of b is still outside the box. I have to use the third plot c to set the yrange to a value I want. This of course solved my issue, but it's very strange that I have to use three lines to achieve this.

Xin
