It is doubtful that such capability will be added to MPI_PLOT,
since MPI_PLOT was my first attempt to write such a graphics
display program as a collection of objects. What I learned
from MPI_PLOT, however, has been brought to bear in my
Catalyst Library, which does have the capability to create
text strings and legends and drag them around in windows,
etc.
In a couple of hours I am leaving on a two-month
sabbatical for Germany. One of my goals is to turn
this library into something that can be used by the
IDL community. Basically, this means writing some
kind of book or user's guide that describes how
to write these kinds of IDL programs without having
to learn object graphics or iTools. :-)
Part of the process of explaining the library will
be writing example programs that duplicate and add
to the capability of such programs as MPI_PLOT. So,
keep in touch. There might be something available
real soon now. :-)
Auf Wiedersehen!
David
