Hi all,

I want to programmatically create an iTool and save it without user
interaction. I could manage to do that (see below), but is it possible
without having the tool pop up on the screen at all?

IDL> iPlot,findgen(10)
IDL> idTool=itgetcurrent(tool=oTool)
IDL> idSave=oTool->findIdentifiers('*save',/operations,count=count) &
print, count
1
IDL> oSave=oTool->getByIdentifier(idSave)
IDL> oSave->setProperty,filename='iplot.isv'
IDL> print,oTool->doAction(idSave)
1
IDL> idExit=oTool->findIdentifiers('*exit',/operations,count=count) &
print,count
1
IDL> print,oTool->doAction(idExit)
1

Any clues? Thanks,
Benjamin
