Re: Creating Postscript o/p files?

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
The labels are not being removed because you are issuing the
SHADE command without a /SET_UP qualifier.  This means that
the PPL commands and the PPL FILL will not have any effect.
(Also you always need to follow a SHADE/SET with PPL SHADE
rather than PPL FILL.)

Start the plot sequence with a SHADE/SET, which makes the settings
and lets you use "PPL LIST LABELS". Do all of the PPL commands
to remove and reset labels, and finally draw the plot with PPL SHADE 
I think your  plot will be drawn correctly

 shade/SET/l=5/levels=(26)(26,30,0.5)(30) temp[i=1:127,j=1:191,k=20]

 ppl list labels
 ppl labs/nouser,1,0,0,0 @AS 
  ... (all of your ppl commands)
 ppl SHADE
