Mapping with IDL [message #4034]

I have a database system which stores GIS information.
In response to queries, such as find all the polygons
within 100 miles of this polygon, it returns the
coordinates for the boundaries of the geographic objects
which meet the search criteria. I need to convert these
coordinates into a map and then into a GIF file. I was
thinking of doing this with IDL. I would like to know if
any one thinks this is a good or bad idea.

I believe that IDL can do this but am a little nervous
because all the IDL mapping examples I see are of very large
areas, and not of small areas like counties or states,
which are more likely to be what I need to create maps for.

All comments are appreciated.
