The IDL Function Graphics plot.pro is an IDL library function. It will be located whereever IDL was installed. If you are using Linux or Unix, you can use your IDL_PATH or EXELIS_DIR environmental variable.

As for your real question, you probably cannot do as asked. You can't use Function graphics plot.pro to "fix" an existing plot. In principle you can overlay *more* graphics or labels on an existing plot, but that's not what you asked about. You may have to find where lbw_plot3d.pro is stored and see how it work. This is not a public IDL routine, so it's unlikely you will be able to get a lot of help about it.
