Right indeed.

Another method to try is simulated annealing (aka traveling salesman)
unfortunately I have never coded this up in IDL, I have used it in C
several times to great success. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_annealing

This method nearly always works but again is slower, but often that
doesn't matter too much, all depended on how many times you have to do
it.

Cheers,

Brian
