Thanks
I think I have found solutions to my problem. The object wasn't the cause
of the problem. There was duplicated copies of the image hidden in the
code. I found them and corrected them. I thank you so much for your help
along. I appreciate your time.

The # of objects is irrelevant. I can create thousands of really small
objects and have RAM to spare but I know that I could try to create a
single object that would consume all and more of my system's resources.

Exactly. IDL couldn't allocate enough ram to create the IDLgr* objects
which you are using to display your data.

Maybe I am old fashioned, but I just follow the data.

Yes, you are well beyond the point where we can offer help w/o seeing
some code. To increase your chances of success, you'll need to distill
your code down to the barest essentials as no one here is going to wade
thru hundreds of lines of code. This process will undoubtedly teach you
a lot along the way so it is usually worth it.

As has been suggested before, some example code will help...
