Well, thanks for your help, but that's not really i mean (perhaps it is
due to my bad english, sorry).
I have a model inside which i put an IDLgrImage as a map of a portion of
Spain. Also i put an IDLgrPolyline to make seleccions (as a line) over
the map. My problem is that the line is never seen because i put the map
int the model after put the line, it is the map overlaps the line.
Bye and thaks.

You haven't convinced me that what Ben is talking about isn't what you mean.
You can do it without texture mapping your image but everything is going to
be in image coordinates. Make sure your line coordinates are appropriate.

Where are you setting the DEPTH_TEST_DISABLE or DEPTH_TEST_FUNCTION
keywords? If both of these atoms are in a single model setting these
keywords for the model will have no effect. You will need to set the
DEPTH_TEST_FUNCTION keyword of your polyline to "always pass" (I think it is
8 but don't have IDL in front of me).

Assuming you aren't using alpha blending the order in which you add your
atoms to the model shouldn't matter as long as they have different Z values.
Remember, images that aren't texture mapped are rendered at Z=0. Your line
must have +Z values.
If you hide the image, can you see the line?

Your English is fine.
Oh, it's a flat map map; you must be working in 2d only. Perhaps you
could add a Z > 0 value to your polyline. You might try reversing the
rendering order (image first then ployline) but it might not work as
well as adding a Z value to your polyline. Then the polyline will be
rendered "above" the image.
