Yes, good suggestion. I had tried creating the plot on screen,
and captured it and wrote a jpeg file, the quality was not nearly
good enough for publication. I ended up doing the following:

shade_surf,abs(s.st),s.time,s.freq,shade=bytscl(abs(s.st)),$
xtitle='Time',ytitle='Frequency',az=0,ax=90,$
ztickname = [' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ']

(the blank z ticknames remove a tiny bit of clutter that appears
from the z labels)

Cheers,
bob
