I sympathize, because what you want to do, although
it seems simple, is actually quite complex using
IDL. You will probably have to build roll your own,
unfortunately.

I've done something very much like what you are going
to want to do, though, in the program HistoPlot. You
can read more about it here:

http://www.dfanning.com/graphics_tips/histoplot.html

I think if you look at the code (and I haven't looked at
it this morning) you will find it meticulously documented
(good luck!). Well, anyway, it is a place to start. :-)

Cheers,

David
