To me it seems that the iTools are designed to be near direct
replacements of their direct graphics counterparts. It is possible to
create iTools non-interactively and without an X server, just by using
the keywords:

user_interface='none',/no_saveprompt,/disable_splash

Since IDL 7.1, there has been a much easier to use procedural
interface to the iTools, which includes things like iopen, isave, and
idelete. I always found that these new features should have been
better advertised when they were introduced. See

For some examples.

It is already possible to read select variables from save files, even
select heap variables in them, which I have used to obtain only the
targets of select elements in pointer arrays. This is done with the
IDL_Savefile object. Though I would still like some more of the
CMSVLIB functionality to be built-in.
