It's probably a mistake to write them without reading
Ronn's book Power Graphics in IDL, come to think of it.

It is probably a mistake to try write IDL object graphics
programs without reading the documentation. :-)

First suggestion is to simplify your static objects. Decimate vertices.
Combine objects (one IDLgrLine with thousands of vertices draws faster
than hundreds of IDLgrLines with few verts). While you're on the right
path, simplifying your static model can only help.

It is not "hiding" the static view, the static view is simply not being
drawn. When you call IDLgrWindow->Draw without keywords, it erases the
window.

What you want to do is called "instancing". Search for it in the IDL
help. You should see a section titled "redraw performance" that covers
this topic. Also see the IDLgrWindow->Draw docs.
