I recently received an iTools brochure from RSI, which included the
following quote from a satisfied user.... ;-)
"The iTools system is extremely well thought out. There is no question
that having an object framework like this will shorten the time it takes
to develop new Object Graphics tools"

Cheers, --Wayne
P.S. My question about iTools is -- why a third graphics system? I
was just getting used to object graphics when I learned that the IDL
expert programmer now needs to be proficient in direct graphics, object
graphics, and iTool graphics.

iTools is a third graphics system? I thought iTools were just graphics
fluff that was an extension of object graphics. Do I have this wrong?
Is iTools the wave of the future that I should be learning instead of
all the ins and outs of object graphics? From all that I have seen of
iTools, they are pretty useless.* I'd love to have someone tell me
otherwise.
* -- 99% of what I use IDL for is automated processing so I never deal
with GUI design or clicky things.
