Hello,
I am very pleased with the new itools and -after
some help from this list- was able to get very
nice 2.5D plots with very little programming
effort (see thread: multiple 2d plots...).
However, it seems that everything beyound
calling iplot, x,y,z with some additional
parameters seems to be very complicated or is
ate least not documented.
What I would like to do (non_interactive from
IDL code):
- rotate the 3d plot to a different angle
- move the z axis to another position (to the back, x=0,y=ymax)
- create a real title (annotation), the parameter /title
only sets the title of the window
- save the state of the tool
- print the complete plot in landscape
- activate a smooth filter on all plots
I understand, that the priority in creating the itools
was on interactive control, but it would be very nice
to control everything from IDL code as well. I know that
it is possible in principle to do what I want, but it requires
extensive studying the itools IDL code. Even the itools developers
guide seems to be not very helpful here (I admit I had just a
short look through it though).
Olaf
