At just beginning I was hoping some advantages on programming with objects
graphics. Besides, volume visualization, interesting but not that much to
me, I like the fact that I could get any magnification by attributing a
matrix to IDLgrImage It is only necessary to resize the window and not the
matrix, as it is in direct graphics and only magnifies by natural numbers
(1,2,3, ..)

Cheers,

Nuno.

P.S. I suppose that Lockheed Martin doesn't like Ralph Nader. :)

I was curious and I looked for the Lockheed site. There's a picture of
hearth, a target city and inbound missile. selling NMD on the main page. And
of course, the stock price is also on the main page.
