Hello!
Suddenly the titles, numbers on color bars, lat/lon values on maps no longer plot in new graphics. One day they were there, the next day gone - no changes in my script.
the titles will show up in old graphics.
I have tried both embedding the argument in the intiial call
p1 = plot(indgen(4), indgen(4), title = 'test')
and after
p1 = plot(indgen(4), indgen(4))
p1.title = 'test'
but no title shows up despite the info being stored:
IDL> print, p1.title
TEXT <5012>
ALIGNMENT = 0.500000
BASELINE = 1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
CLIP = 0
COLOR = 0 0 0
FILL_BACKGROUND = 0
FILL_COLOR = -1
FONT_COLOR = 0 0 0
FONT_NAME = 'Helvetica'
FONT_SIZE = 12.000000
FONT_STYLE = 0
HIDE = 0
NAME = 'Title'
ONGLASS = 0
POSITION = 0.52421875 0.91175000 0.52421875 0.91175000
STRING = 'test'
TRANSPARENCY = 0.00000
UPDIR = 0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000
VERTICAL_ALIGNMENT = 0.00000
It seems to be a problem of idl communicating to the new graphics window this particular text information.
Does anyone know where I might look in the IDL paths to see if a file got corrupted?
I am on a linux cluster, using idl 8.5
So far IT support has just suggested I use old graphics....not so helpful.
thanks!
Amy

Update:
the sys admins don't have the problem so seems to be associated with my profile, or quotas.
I did get some more details from the error message. I checked out these files and lines where the problem seems to be. Anyone think these would be sensitive to a users environment?

I might try adding the (undocumented) /DEBUG keyword to your plot command
p1 = plot(indgen(4), indgen(4), title = 'test',/DEBUG)
to see if it gives any additional information. But I am not hopeful. --Wayne

Thanks, that suggestion might come in handy in the future.
Turns out this problem was with my X11....the problem was solved by restarting my local machine 😳
