Rob,
Try this version of your program. The comments explain what you need to change and why.
Cheers,
Bill Gallery
pro test_grid_win
; Test program that writes out a PNG file that captures the screen with
; a grid drawn on it.
xsize = (ysize = 500)
device,decomposed = 0 & loadct,0,/silent
nx = 10
window,0,xsize = xsize,ysize = ysize
dx = 1./float(nx)
;;erase,255B
!p.BACKGROUND=255b ;set the default background color
!p.COLOR=0 ;set the default color of plot axes, points, lines, ...
;;plots places points on an already specified grid
;;You need to first use plot (no s) to set up the scale of the plot and
;;to draw the axes
;;the x and y data set the scale of the plot to x=[0,1], y=[0,1]
;;xgrid=1 and ygrid=1 ensure that the x and y axes are exacty as specified and
;;not expanded
;;/nodata prevents data from actually being plotted
plot, [0,1],[0,1], /nodata, xgrid=1, ygrid=1
;;use oplot to place the data on the existing plot (plots will also work)
;;/normal says that the data is in 'normal' coordinates which vary from
;;[0,0] at the lower left of the screen to [1,1] to the upper right:
;;this is not what you want. You want to draw on the existing data scale
;;which has been created with the plot command.
;;The color of the data has already been specified with !p.color
for j = 0,nx do oplot,[j*dx,j*dx],[0.0,1.0] ;;,/normal,color = 0B
for j = 0,nx do oplot,[0.0,1.0],[j*dx,j*dx] ;;,/normal,color = 0B
;filename = 'e:\test.png'
