Robert,
It works for me..If I understand the problem correctly - i.e., while
overlaying or minimizing or maximizing the window, the contours don't
disappear :P I was going to attach 2 screenshots for your viewing
pleasure (one of them advertises David's ebook - which I bought
recently- too ;-) ), but I guess I can't abuse usenet :)
I usually do this backing store thingy within my xconfig. Within the /
etc/X11/xorg.conf (Section "Device"), I add the following above the
'EndSection' instead of .idlrc...
----------------------------------------------
Option "BACKING STORE" "TRUE"
----------------------------------------------
Hth,

Well, I explained a method to solve it. You can look
at any object graphics program on my web page to see
it solved in action! I'd start with something like XPLOT
for something easy:
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/xplot.pro
Look at the XPLOT_DRAW_WIDGET_EVENTS module.
Cheers,
David

It didn't work on my ubuntu 6.10,too.
I am afraid there is no method to solve this.
Could you give me an example of rewriting this code using widget_draw?

This didn't work for me when I maximized or
minimized my window on Windows XP with IDL 6.4.
Nor did DEVICE, RETAIN=2. I don't know why. :-(

It is exceedingly rare (this is the only program I've
ever seen that did it!) to see an object graphics program
that doesn't draw into a draw widget window. So, normally,
this problem is solved by turning EXPOSE events on for
the draw widget and then just drawing the view in the
draw widget event handler when the window is "exposed".
Cheers,
David
