Hi folks, I just installed IDL 8.0 and have been transferring over to the new PLOT function (as opposed to the old procedure). I am having a recurring problem when setting the axis to log scale and specifying a plot title. For example: IDL> x = findgen(100)+1 IDL> y = findgen(100)+1 IDL> p = plot(x,y) IDL> p.ylog=1 IDL> p.title='Test' ...produces a title "Test" in an odd location for me (far below the upper plot box boundary and in the middle of the data space). Anyone having similar troubles?

Hi S_C, Thanks for the reply. I'm not having any trouble with labeling the x,y axes - it's the main plot title that appears wrong. The issue seems to be related to the use of /ylog. For example: IDL> x = findgen(100)+1 IDL> y = findgen(100)+1 IDL> p = plot(x,y,title='Test') ...sems to work just fine, in that "Test" is at the top of the plot just like it would be in the old plot routine. Now if I make the y-axis logged: IDL> p = plot(x,y,title='Test',/ylog) ...now test appears in an odd place (within the plot window). Not sure if this is an obvious bug or just something unique to my setup!

What exact version of IDL do you have?. Can you show us the output of: print, !version If you don't have IDL 8.0.1 patch, could you install it? Cheers, fernando
