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
