In your event handler you will have to find the ID
of the draw widget you want to plot into, get it's
value (which will be the correct window index number),
and make this window the current graphics window (with
WSET). Then draw your plot.

How one does this in the GUI Builder, I don't know. I've
never used it. It will probably involve some kind of
FIND_BY_UNAME, or something of the sort. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. You are probably lucking your plot went into your
widget windows at all. The number one problem with widget
programs I look at is that people have NO idea what window
they are drawing graphics in! In widget programs, as in life,
if you are not going to be lucky, you better be knowledgeable.
There is only one current graphics window in IDL, ever! :-)
