I haven't used PV Wave widgets, but I can say that IDL widgets are very
easy to use , and you should be able to get windows up and running
fairly quickly. I have seen users new to IDL widgets (and windows
programming in general) get nice GUIs up and running in a few days.
However, the same may be true of PV Wave :)

It is: I got a Wave Widgets program up and running quite quickly, taking
VNI's Simple_Image_Pro example as a base and working out from that how to
do it all. It was actually my first real PV~Wave program of any type, so
it can't be that tricky (just used it interactively before now).
As an add on extra, I think VNI do an additional GUI builder system for
use with Wave to make life easier. Don't know what the cost is though,
or anything else about it. Anybody have experiences?
Pete.
