Well, let's just say you are not the *only* one who doesn't
understand iTools. It's my believe that they are inherently
incapable of being understood. But, that said, in my poking
around the farm the other day, I came upon another program
that I didn't know was there: IXYOUTS. This program is
suppose to be the XYOUTS program for iTools, allowing you
to add annotations to an iPlot. I say "suppose to be" because
I've never figured out iTools enough to use the damn things,
so I've never used the program. But I remember *thinking*
it worked. :-)

Hi David,
i totally agree with your opinion about itools. However since i am
working on a GUI generating data fits i want the users using this GUI
to be able to edit plots generated. As far as i know the only way to
do this is using an iplot.
My problem is not to position of the annotations, which of course is
way easier with your ixyouts than with the idl standard syntax using
idAnnotate.
Still my problem is the positioning of the plot. In the case of using
plot i would generate my output in the following way
window, xsize, ysize
plot, ... position=[0.1,0.2,0.5,0.9] ....
thereby i can move my plot more to the left of the window.
What i would like to know now is how to generate a window in which i
could either position the iplot or how to tell the iplot to be left
aligned in the iplot window. So far my iplot is always centered and
therefore i get a huge white space on the lef side if want to be able
to add annotations on the right side for example.
Is there an object above the iplot which i could maybe generate and
position the iplot inside afterwards.
Thx in advance
Andi

Edit the data? Your user must be politicians, not scientists....
