Well, I don't teach iTools graphics when in my beginning IDL
course. The students are supposed to be learning to program,
not point, click, and drag. And *programming* the iTools is not
for the faint of heart.
I do use iTools when I have to do 3-D interactive graphics because
I am not smart enough to write my own object graphics programs.
Cheers, Ken
