> I know you Exelis folks are lurking out there, so why, oh, why, have you used the default of changing the axis ranges to match the new data when doing an overplot in object graphics? When I overplot data, in most cases I want to just overplot the new data on top of the original data (oddly enough). I think most of the time, people would like to keep the same axes unless they specifically ask to change them. It is a pain in the a** to keep restoring the axis ranges every time I add a new set of data.

A simple way to overplot without changing axes:
plot = plot(...)
overplot = plot(/OVER, ..., XRANGE=plot.XRANGE, YRANGE=plot.YRANGE)
You might even substitute /CURRENT to /OVER keyword in this case.
