Since the "commands" are objects, and the "command list"
is an object, I just save the command list in an IDL
save file. IDL is kind enough to save all the data
associated with an object. To recreate a saved
visualization, you just open a new cgWindow and
use the Restore Commands button from the File menu
to select a saved visualization. Very slick and
extremely easy.

I was joking about the patent attorney. After all these
years, people still struggle a bit to understand Coyote humor.
I give these things away. I believe in community.
And I love the IDL community. I'm grateful I've been
able to make a living in it for 25 years.
It's just that this is getting to be SUCH a useful
system that it's almost embarrassing not to be making
some money off the idea. I keep telling my wife, I'm
not interested in money, I'm interested in FAME. She
isn't all that impressed. :-(
Cheers,
David

Hi,
Tiny thing: in cgplots.pro you are calling (line 133) x = Temporar(y)
instead of temporary() ;)
Thanks,
Fabien

Does that mean you write out a file with the commands to re-create the
window (similar to Igor Pro), or do you create some custom file that
does this for you? The first case would be really interesting, as you
can of course modify those commands by hand. It would explain your
other post where you are looking for a patent attorney.
