Hi, I have this (simple) code to produce a stacked plot of
some spectra:
; Read in spectra and 'stack' them by adding an offset constant
; to the yaxis vector.
[snip]
; Set up the parameters for the plot command
xrange = [-130, 130] ; Set by hand
yrange = [-43, 20] ; Set by hand
tick_values = [-40, -30, -20, -10, 0, 10, 20]
tick_labels = [0, 10, 0, 10, 0, 10, 20]
; Plot empty frame with fiddled yaxis labelling etc
plot, xrange, yrange, xstyle=1, ystyle=1, $
ytickv=tick_values, ytickname=tick_labels, $
/nodata
; Overplot the various spectra
[snip]
Question - why is that when I run this code for the first time it produces
a yaxis which is still labelled from -42 to 20? Running the same
thing again will produce the correct labelling [0,10,0,10,0,10,20]
though. WHY?
This is bad as I rerun the program with a parameter which produces
nice eps files to go into a scientific paper. And they're labelled
wrongly... I can't just plot twice in the eps case.
This is extremely puzzling to me, I have been changing the order of
params, been fiddling with ystyle etc but can't 'fix' this. Anyone
got any ideas?
