There is another problem. I once asked here about colouring a plot, and got a recipe, which works fine. However, it seems to erase tic marks. For example, I have set xtics 1990, 5, 2010 set ytics 0, 100, 300 set obj rect from graph 0, graph 0 to graph 1, graph 1 back \ fc rgb '#FFEFD5' fillstyle solid 0.5 and the numbers come out on both axes, but no tic marks. Is this an effect of the set obj line? -- Dieter Britz
