Very strange, I do NOT get a transparent images when I include the POSITION keyword.

p = plot(GPCP2b[0,0,*],position=[0,0,SC,SC],yrange=[0,max(GPCP2b )],XSHOWTEXT=0,YSHOWTEXT=0,color='black',TRANSPARENCY=0)
p.save,'C:\datasets\testPOSITION_ONE.png',/TRANSPARENT

DO NOT RETURN TRANSPARENT IMAGE, but the following DOES:
p = plot(GPCP2b[0,0,*],yrange=[0,max(GPCP2b)],XSHOWTEXT=0,YSHOWT EXT=0,color='black',TRANSPARENCY=0)
p.save,'C:\datasets\testPOSITION_ONE.png',/TRANSPARENT
