Hi David,
i totally agree with your opinion about itools. However since i am
working on a GUI generating data fits i want the users using this GUI
to be able to edit plots generated. As far as i know the only way to
do this is using an iplot.
My problem is not to position of the annotations, which of course is
way easier with your ixyouts than with the idl standard syntax using
idAnnotate.
Still my problem is the positioning of the plot. In the case of using
plot i would generate my output in the following way
window, xsize, ysize
plot, ... position=[0.1,0.2,0.5,0.9] ....
thereby i can move my plot more to the left of the window.
What i would like to know now is how to generate a window in which i
could either position the iplot or how to tell the iplot to be left
aligned in the iplot window. So far my iplot is always centered and
therefore i get a huge white space on the lef side if want to be able
to add annotations on the right side for example.
Is there an object above the iplot which i could maybe generate and
position the iplot inside afterwards.
Thx in advance
Andi
