Can I build a spread-sheet style interface in IDL?
We eventually want to be able to build X-Windows widgets for scientists who don't want to deal with any of UNIX including the vi editor, etc. So what I would like is to build something like a simple spreadsheet program with IDL widgets such that a user can move around in the data and make changes and then make plots of the resulting data. I'd like not to reinvent the wheel if someone has already worked out a spreadsheet-style interface and would be willing to share the code with me. If so, I'd be very grateful! Thanks in advance. --Tim Fredrick, NCAR/ACD Systems Administration (fredrick@ncar.ucar.edu)
