Thank you. Now the code works fine!

How can I include legend into my top panel plot (error estimate plot)?

Thanks in advance.

In this case, 'position' option will be very handy. I tried to run my code by disabling the !P.Multi commands while retaining the 'position' option. This resulted in only a single plot and the other plot disappeared or not static on the display window. By keeping both the options, I could

From your graphics routines, I just wanted to show the standard deviation as a background color similar to your example plot of Error-estimate plot. I tried to check all lines in all possible ways. While my syntax looks fine and no error results while running the program, I still can't figure out why I see a complete frame of my subplot covered by the color specified for showing the error in the plot.
