Yes, saw the object stuff already, but wondered, as you said, if
that's only there for object graphics or if there's more use to it. So
it's a good point.
Which reminds me of another question since IDL 7.0: What's ITT's idea
now for graphical UI's?
And are there actually ways to do the UI e.g. with QT Designer or with
WXWindowx/WxPython and put it on top of IDL routines? I guess, then
one has to start with all that importing stuff and doing it in C/C++
using some libraries for import?

Michael
