I use DISPLAY to do this. It is object based but you don't have to think
of it this way - it is command-line driven. You can specify to keep the
coordinate system for each Display window, and you can have as many open
at the same time as your screen will fit. Plus, you get legends, colors,
mouse-click for plot deletion, moveable text labels, and ROI.

There are two routines of our library which saves and restores these system
variables.

Hi,
Before computers had keyboards and monitors, Liam Gumley had prepared
a neato solution to this multiple 'frames' problem using an IDL dodad
called handles (I think these are widget IDs.) It is a really slick
setup that allows you to save a 'frame' (e.g. the plotting parameters,
etc.) for a window, and then come back to it with having to replot.
You could move back and forth among different frames. I don't think
these tools (sf.pro, af.pro, lf.pro, bf.pro) are at www.gumley.com.
Try a google search.
I have adapted this idea to an object based frame tool that can be
used from the command line or within an application. Like Liam's
setup, it is for direct graphics routines. Each frame is stored in a
container and can be retrieved by name or position index. Frames can
be accessed randomly. It saves the system variables (and other
things) as David describes. It is available at
www.tidewater.net/~pemaquid
Cheers,
Ben

Neat-- I hadn't realized I could change 'system' variables like that.
Opens the door to all sorts of mischief.

Do you mean without using an object? Then, no, there
is no neat and pleasant way to do it. :-)
The messy way, of course, is just to save the appropriate
system variables:
Window, 1
Plot, data
p1 = !P
x1 = !X
y1 = !Y
z1 = !Z
m1 = !Map
Window, 2
Plot, moredata
p2 = !P
x2 = !X
y2 = !Y
z2 = !Z
m2 = !Map
Then, when you want to overplot, restore everything:
WSet, 1
!P = p1
!X = x1
!Y = y1
!Z = z1
!Map = m1
OPlot, somedataOn1
Cheers,
David
P.S. I can think of several interesting ways to do this with
an object. And it would be neat and pleasant, but you would
have to remember to destroy the object when you were done
with it. If your mama trained you right, this probably wouldn't
be a problem. :-)
