Way around zeroing of structures on creation? [message #62184]

Hi all,

I have a simple routine that defines a structure I use a lot, so that the
definition is automatic when I call it. e.g.

pro mystrct__define
tmp = {mystrct, $
foo:0.0d, $
bar:2.365434d
}
end

The help pages about automatic structure definition are very explicit that
all fields of a structure that is created by copying in this way will be
zeroed (or strings converted to null strings).

So...my question is, does anyone know a neat way around this? I want to
fill my structure with useful constants that will not change, but i'd like
to avoid having to do it by hand every time I create an instance of the
structure.

cheers
chris
