Pointers [message #16663]

Been using IDL for a year. Want to expand into what I feel are three last
topics of interest; pointers, widgets, and object graphics.

I've read the entire pointer section of the help file and have the following
question:

What are pointers used for in IDL. I only precieve that they lead to the new
object paradyme. Is this correct? I use structures in most of my programming
and pass the complete structure to the appropaite procedures. I suppose I
could creat a pointer to a structure, but since IDL passes structures by
reference, what is the need?

TIA
