Re: Change default value of system variable?
I do the same thing, and am constantly annoyed at the switching of
the defaults.
How about the following:
;****************************************
pro setplot,devicestring
; set the plot and save/restore the !p information
oldp = !p
set_plot,devicestring
!p=oldp
end
;****************************************
; Useage here
; mainlevel test code here
; HEY, specific numbers here, assuming 256 colours
!p.color = 0
!p.background = 255
window,0
erase ; on my comp, the screen starts out black
plot,findgen(10),tit='window first'
setplot,'ps'
plot,findgen(10),tit='ps'
device,/close
setplot,'win'
window,1
erase
plot,findgen(10),tit='window again'
end
Cheers,
