Cheers

Also is it possible to change the min / max of the scales independently from the property box? You can zoom with the mouse wheel but that changes both scales, not just one

Yeah, I see -- when you call a NG routine from the command line, the "Logarithmic axis" property is disabled. I'll look into this.

Thanks for your reply, however, I was thinking of the property menus you get when clicking on items in the function graphics window.

You can change fonts, font size, line width, text etc but not scale details.

> One thing I've failed to find in all the interactivity of function graphics is how to change the scale limits of an axis without re-plotting or simply reissuing an axis.xrange=[0,10] command. Can the axis limits not be changed using the property menus for a function graphic?

Sure, it can. Try, for example:

pl = plot(/TEST)
(pl.axes)[0].XRANGE=[1,100] ;change axis range
(pl.axes)[0].LOG = 1 ;change to log scale.

alain.

I've put in a feature request to toggle log axes from the NG propertysheet. I also like the idea of zooming along a selected axis with the mouse wheel; I'll talk with Chris about this.
