> I'm having a problem plotting color contour plots in black and white. I've got some areas in the contour which are NaN's. So in the color plot they show up white (transparent on a white background). But I need to plot in B&W for a journal paper. I was hoping to use a hatch pattern to plot the NaN areas. My basic idea is to make a plot with the hatch pattern, then plot the contour plot (in B&W) on top. The NaN's will be tranparent and thus the hatch pattern will show through there and unambiguously show the NaN areas in the contour plot (which are important). BUT, I am loading previously made plots from .fig files (using 'open'), so I can't figure out how to plot the hatch pattern first and have the opened file plot on top of it. It seems that when I use 'open' it just creates a new figure.

I'm not sure how else you would do this but if you're having a hard time getting this to work, you might be able to click edit->copy figure and paste onto a new background somewhere else if you're really stuck. The transparency should be kept in the copy.
