traces plot outside of x-axis boundaries [message #88387] Mon, 21 April 2014 01:25 Go to next message

I have this simple code:

FINquickplot6a = PLOT(SStop, color='b',position=[0.1,0.1,0.9,0.5], ytitle='score (%)', thick=3, font_size=10, xrange=xrange)
FINquickplot6b = PLOT(temp_score_top, color='r', thick=2, font_size=10, xrange=xrange, /overplot)
FINquickplot6c = PLOT(lwc_score_top, color='m', thick=2, font_size=10, xrange=xrange, /overplot)
FINquickplot6d = PLOT(rh_score_top, color='orange', thick=2, font_size=10, xrange=xrange, /overplot)
FINquickplot6e = PLOT(ww_score_top, color='g', thick=2, font_size=10, xrange=xrange, /overplot)

The plots for the last 2 traces plot outside the x-axis boundaries while the first 3 plot within the boundaries. I have no clue why this is happening and the plot just doesn't look good with 2 traces plotting outside the x-axis and across the left/right page margins. The only thing I can think of is that recently I switched from Windows XP to Mac OS. Please help!

Hmmm, that sounds strange. I plot on Mac all the time with no problems. Which version of IDL? Can you come up with a reproduce case that includes the data? Or post a screenshot somewhere?
Thanks!

Here is a link.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/izon72rmi0mrzme/Archive.zip

It contains the code and the data file with the plot that is produced. The data file is huge but this is related to the problem I think as the traces are within boundaries if the file is smaller. Also the traces are within boundaries if all the data is plotted but if a small segment is plotted (defining s and f) the traces go out of bounds.

Thanks for any help!

Well, this must have been a bug. It works fine for me using IDL 8.3.1. I would bet it also works fine in IDL 8.3 and possibly 8.2.3 as well.

Cheers,
Chris

Perhaps this is what he is talking about:

What is IDL 8.3.1 ? So far, I was only aware of 8.3.0.
Thank you, Chris, for any info.

Ah, sorry. It's not out yet. I just meant that it worked for me on my development machine. But it's going to be _amazing_. :-)

Hopefully around summertime...
