In principle you can overlay *more* graphics or labels on an existing plot, but that's not what you asked about. You may have to find where lbw_plot3d.pro is stored and see how it work. This is not a public IDL routine, so it's unlikely you will be able to get a lot of help about it.

Thank you so much for the reply.

But why could not I manually see through the search engine whether plot.pro is there or not ? I did it and could not find plot.pro anywhere in the search results.

Exactly, yes I later understood that I need to overlay few graphics which would allow me to change the colour of the font on the plot. If I use !P.COLOR = 250, it changes the font inside the plot AND the title colour and the table border and labels in the table.

1. So I need a solution to bring the appropriate key word to into my routine so that it would display only the font inside the plot to be in white, which is not offered by the keywords in lbw_plot3d.pro

2. I also need to change the size of the plot so that the right most end falls within the white space of a ps file. I am trying with !P.POSITION but I am not achieving what I want. It will be highly helpful if anyone could know how to fix it :)

Thank you.
