Hi,

Before computers had keyboards and monitors, Liam Gumley had prepared
a neato solution to this multiple 'frames' problem using an IDL dodad
called handles (I think these are widget IDs.) It is a really slick
setup that allows you to save a 'frame' (e.g. the plotting parameters,
etc.) for a window, and then come back to it with having to replot.
You could move back and forth among different frames. I don't think
these tools (sf.pro, af.pro, lf.pro, bf.pro) are at www.gumley.com.
Try a google search.

I have adapted this idea to an object based frame tool that can be
used from the command line or within an application. Like Liam's
setup, it is for direct graphics routines. Each frame is stored in a
container and can be retrieved by name or position index. Frames can
be accessed randomly. It saves the system variables (and other
things) as David describes. It is available at
www.tidewater.net/~pemaquid

Cheers,
Ben
