David, thanks for the reply. I'm getting back into IDL now that the
virtual machine lets me distribute applications to our users. I've
been going down the Python track for a while.

This is the key, as I discovered late last night. However, this
appears to be undocumented routine, and the only reference to the
iTool system object that I could find in the documentation says that
users should never need to worry about it! I am puzzled by the fact
that the iTools are highly object oriented, but when you create one
there is no way to get an IDL object reference back for what you've
created. You can only get an object identifier (string), which you
can't turn into an IDL object reference without an initial object
reference to start with.

In any event, this works. It looks to be very powerful. The data we
collect are often scans (1-D, 2-D), and by simply putting the scan
data into the data manager it should be possible to let users
visualize their data any way they want without writing any
visualization code at all. Pretty nifty.

Cheers,
Mark
