Hi all,

in the moment I'm reading the itool-develpoer-guide. Can someone tell
where to find a shorter introduction to itool-programming? (I'm soon
reaching page 100, and I'd like to not read the following 140).
Unfortunately these pages did not prepare me to programm my own itools
- for my guess, there not enough examples.

Thanks Thomas

From your previous post, I see you're running v6.4 on Linux. 5 minutes
seems excessive but my guess is that you're using a machine with an
integrated graphics controller with poor 3d support in Linux.

Can you manipulate the plot once it does come up (zoom, rotate, translate)?

Reimar,

It takes 5 *seconds* on my Linux-Intel box running IDL v6.4.

I cannot offer you advice, though, as I do not use the iTools.

Try this:

IDL> iplot,Rebin(dindgen(1000000), 1000)

How big is your monitor, anyway? The size of a room?
I don't think you can plot a million of anything and
see much of value on a normal display.

Or are you just trolling this morning? :-)

Cheers,

David
