Dan, It has to do with the strange way that Show combines Options from the various plots. Put all of the Epilog material in a single Epilog in the Show statement. Essentially, that Epilog preempts any of the Plot Epilogs. bb = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 30}] Show[bb, Epilog -> {Inset[Graphics[Disk[{.4, .4}]], Scaled[{.2, .2}]], Inset[Graphics[Circle[]]]}] I'm not certain what your objective is with the graphics, but it could be done much more simply and intuitively with the Presentations Application. <<Presentations` Draw2D[ {Draw[Sin[x], {x, 0, 30}], Inset[Graphics[Disk[{.4, .4}]], Scaled[{.2, .2}]], Inset[Graphics[Circle[]]]}, AspectRatio -> 1/GoldenRatio, Frame -> True] Or even more simply without Inset: Draw2D[ {Draw[Sin[x], {x, 0, 30}], Circle[{5 \[Pi], 0}, Offset[70]], Disk[Scaled[{0.2, 0.2}], Offset[70]]}, AspectRatio -> 1/GoldenRatio, Frame -> True] David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/index.html From: Dan O'Brien [mailto:danobrie at gmail.com] Can someone explain why Show drops the original Inset Circle[]? And how I could make it not forget? aa = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 30}, Epilog -> Inset[Graphics[Circle[]]]] Show[aa, Epilog -> Inset[Graphics[Disk[{.4, .4}]], Scaled[{.2, .2}]]] bb = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 30}, Epilog -> Inset[Graphics[Circle[]]]] Show[bb, Epilog -> Inset[Graphics[Disk[{.4, .4}]], Scaled[{.2, .2}]]]
