I have played with overwriting text on charts by using 'white' text and various other tricks. As David W. said, there's usually a slight ghost left behind. My recommendation would be first and foremost to set up a miniscript to regenerate your plot, and change the title text to whatever you really want, rather than hacking the display via overwrites. Second, you might want to draw a borderless box )with fill color equal to your chart background) over the existing text, then write the new title. Carl

Which is suboptimal given you want to produce some file, because you will find all the elements (old title, box, etc.) in the reslting postscript / PDF or whatever file (except bitmaps)... Uwe Ligges
