Ok, for those who are interested. I finally had sometime to hook up
one of those old ide drives and dig out the file.

I added a new idldoc comment header in rst format and fixed a "ghost"
problem with PS output. Basically I use a plot command with no breaks
to determine the plot region and generate proper (x/y) titles. Then I
have to erase the plot except those titles with another plot using
background color. It works perfect for direct graphics but there will
be "ghost" tick labels in PS output due to none perfect overlapping. I
fixed it by patching with small background filled rectangles. It is
not elegant but works for me so far.

Another issue is that ticklen can be very different when you have
uneven plotting segments. It seems that the ticklen is proportional to
the size of the plotting segment. I can scale the (major) ticklen with
xticklen/yticklen keyword(s). However, the minor ticks does not scale
accordingly.

Please visit the following site for source and documents and feel free
to mature the code as you see fit. I am not sure how long this server
will last since my boss had got another job a while ago. It would be
nice someone can help hosting the file. Comments and suggestions are
definitely welcome.
