Hello newsgroup,

I'm presently building an extensive widget which will have to handle
very large arrays (6,170000), and noticed that IDL is always asking for
more memory. I tried to solve the problem with pointers, but alas... I
also noticed that the heap keeps building up when I quit my widget
(widget_control, event.top,/destroy) and start the widget again. For
example, everytime I restart the widget and call "help, /memory," the
heap, malloc, and free memory keeps on growing and growing and...., then
the computer crashes, 8-(. So I quit and restart IDL, and the memory
goes back down to zero.
Does anyone have a good idea of how I can clean the heap memory within
the widget without having to restart IDL?

Since I'm writing this, I have another "simple" question. Is there any
way to change the black background of a plot window?

Thanks for help, JOhn
