Hi,
Yesterday I updated a plotting program and found that neither the automatic tick labels nor my specified axis titles showed up in the plots. (There's just white space around the plot.) As a test, today I loaded some time series data and made a simple plot using
test = plot(time[0:50], ASWDN[0:50], ytitle = 'test')
The same thing occurred: there are axes and a plotted line, but no text is shown around the axes. I have no idea why this has suddenly happened, as nothing had recently changed on the computer. I am using IDL v. 8.5.1 on a linux machine running the Debian operating system. For what it's worth, we updated the OS from version 8 (jesse) to version 9 (stretch) between yesterday and today because it was convenient because I requested a reboot of the system in case there was some memory issue affecting IDL.
Thanks,
Laura

Answering my own question, it turned out that the same problem occurred when I ran IDL directly on the Mac instead of remotely on the linux server. It was solved on both machines when I rebooted the Mac. If anyone can explain this, you get a prize!
