Hi Randall,
Can you provide some more context? I just stopped an OG program,
manipulated objects and drew the window. Is that what you are trying to do?

With regard to more context, imagine a procedure aptly named 'test':
PRO TEST
DATA = BESELJ(SHIFT(DIST(40),20,20)/2,0)
STOP
END
When I run this in IDL I get:
IDL> test
% Compiled module: TEST.
% Compiled module: DIST.
% Stop encountered: TEST 5 /blah/.../blah/test.pro
If I try and plot 'data' with an object graphics routine like
'fsc_surface', or any of the RSI example code 'show3_track',
'test_surface' all I get is a black window? Moreover, all of these
routines have built-in data (in the event that the user doesn't pass an
array) and even this fails to display when my routine is stopped. Of
course, once I continue the program and allow it to finish, everything is
fine and the object-graphics window fills with the expected surface.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Randall
