Hi Bernard,

In order to get an object view to appear in a draw widget you need to take
two steps:

1. When you create the draw widget use the "GRAPHICS_LEVEL=2" keyword to
ensure this is an object draw widget rather than a direct graphics one.
2. You need the object reference of the draw widget to make the "mywinobj->
Draw, myview" call. This is stored in the VALUE parameter in exactly like
the window id is for a direct graphics draw widget. You can retrieve this
using: "WIDGET_CONTROL, drawwidgetid, GET_VALUE=mywinobj".

Hope this helps. Good luck with the objects - they're worth the learning
curve in my opinion!

All the best,

Dave.
