Hi Matthew,

I wanted to avoid having to actually select something but, in a pinch,
this will work for me. Thanks! Very cool.

BTW, I tried the /ALL keyword to Select on the window but it didn't work:

IDL> w.select,/all
IDL> x=w.getselect()
IDL> help, x
X UNDEFINED = !NULL

But, when I actually selected everything in the window with the mouse
and then did

IDL> x=w.getselect()

I got:

IDL> help, x
X OBJREF = Array[28]

which does contain what I want, I just have to sort through it all:

IDL> for i=0,27 do help, x[i]
<Expression> AXIS <702414>
<Expression> AXIS <702415>
<Expression> AXIS <702416>
<Expression> AXIS <702417>
<Expression> TEXT <702418>
<Expression> BARPLOT <698847>
<Expression> GRAPHIC <702419>
<Expression> AXIS <702420>
<Expression> AXIS <702421>
<Expression> AXIS <702422>
<Expression> AXIS <702423>
<Expression> TEXT <702424>
<Expression> BARPLOT <696924>
<Expression> GRAPHIC <702425>
<Expression> AXIS <702426>
<Expression> AXIS <702427>
<Expression> AXIS <702428>
<Expression> AXIS <702429>
<Expression> TEXT <702430>
<Expression> BARPLOT <695001>
<Expression> GRAPHIC <702431>
<Expression> AXIS <702432>
<Expression> AXIS <702433>
<Expression> AXIS <702434>
<Expression> AXIS <702435>
<Expression> TEXT <702436>
<Expression> BARPLOT <693078>
<Expression> GRAPHIC <702437>

I do wish the "w.select,/all" worked, though.

Thanks again.

cheers,

paulv
