This works for most plots but won't if you are using BARPLOT() or creating a filled histogram plot. David Fanning's CGHISTOPLOT for direct graphics has a /ROTATE keyword (with an example in his plot gallery http://www.idlcoyote.com/gallery/) to rotate a filled histogram. Internally his program has to use a lot of calls to PLOTS to emulate a rotated filled histogram. --Wayne
