I have a procedure which reads in a large amount of data(.25mb i think).
It takes a while for idl to read in all the data. Then I have about 5
lines of which I use to print selected data points using plot, and oplot
from the large data set. The problem comes when I plot say 5 points out
of 50. Then I stop. Then I want to plot a different 5 points out of the
master data set, without having to read in all the data. Is there a way
to make the procedure execute from the point where I just manipulate the
data, or should I somehow make those lines say an auxilliary procedure,
and somehow allow that to see the variables from the initial procedure?
What it boils down to, is I want to be able to plot an infinite number
of time, but read in the data only once.
