Uh, well, object graphics can't really be explained
in a couple of paragraphs, really. Maybe a short answer
is you would use the output from Streamline to create
an IDLgrPolygon object, and you could try passing that
to XObjView. That might get you started in the right
direction.

For more info, I'd get ahold of Ronn Kling's book,
Power Graphics with IDL. I don't think you can learn
object graphics without that book. :-)

Cheers,

David
