Now, THAT is nifty! I can see lots of possibilities for this for my
work. I'm often fiddling with the best plot format for things, and
then once I have figured it out, I want to hard-wire it into some
code for final processing - when I construct figures for publications,
I want to be able to run an IDL procedure that is completely non-
interactive, and will be guaranteed to reproduce the plot that I made
last time around. This has always been a problem with the object
graphics mode for me - I can do things interactively, but at the
end, I don't have a script that lets me reproduce the results
precisely.

My plan is to unpack your plot_config structure and turn it into
a code fragment that I can put into my final programs. This will
be a snap. I may even use your program as my first journey into
object programming, where I will add a few more of the keywords that
I tend to vary quite often for plots. I'd bet that others are
going to do the same thing.

Thanks for your very useful contribution!
