Well, the Coyote Graphics equivalent would be
cgShow, but alas, the Coyote Graphics rely on
the underlying IDL programs working correctly.
So, no, it wouldn't help in this case.
The problem is there is no reliable way to
bring a direct graphics window forward on the
display any longer. :-(
In IDL 8.1 for example, I type this:
window
Now, I hide the window behind another application,
and type this:
wshow
This command does nothing. But, if I do this:
xcolors
wshow
The window 0 pops forward!! This works about
25% of the time and for God only knows what
reason. :-)
Cheers,
David
