Specifying plot ranges [message #78982]

Hi all

I have a quick question I hope you can help with. I have been making a
plot with GDL, and it comes out as expected, with the axes in the
ranges I want. However, when I use the exact same code with IDL, it
refuses to accept the ranges I have specified. For example, with the
following code

loadct, 0, /silent
plot, [0], [0], /nodata, xrange=[0,1200], yrange=[-90,90], $
yticks=6, xticks=10, $
color=0, background=255, $
xtitle='Time', ytitle='Latitude'

GDL plots fine, but IDL sets the x-axis to [-400,1600] and the y-axis
to [-150,150]. Can anyone offer any insight as to why it works with
GDL but not IDL??? It's beginning to annoy me now, especially since it
will no doubt be something obvious!

Many thanks,

Jack
