Thanks! This is as easy as one could hope.

(I also didn't know that one could reference ['yaxis']. I had been referencing e.g. ['axis1'] but always forgetting if this was the X or Y axis.)

I am finally getting around to converting all my plotting code to function graphics. It looks like you had figured out many of the tricks for doing this 6 years ago! Thanks again, --Wayne
