Ken,
I am having trouble creating MULTI-PLOT images in the same window with
IDL8.0 . From above, you mention that you can produce multiple plots
on one image with the new 8.0 . Personally, I am struggling to
accomplish this. IDL help menu shows how to do !p.multi using older
releases of IDL, NOT with the newest 8.0 version. It makes no sense to
me to start using a new release, but have to depend on previous
releases to make progress, especially when the things I am trying to
do have been updated in 8.0. For example, you probably noticed the new
method in 8.0 to produce plots p = PLOT(xxxxxxxxxx) and then we can
save the plot by typing P.SAVE ......this to me is VERY easy. But, to
use !p.multi it seems like I need to issue plot commands from earlier
IDL releases. Bummer!
How did you find out to create multi plots on one window in 8.0?
Thank you very much for your time.
cheers,
teddy allen
