I've been developing a GUI to do some processing and modeling of astronomical images for a while now, which has gotten too "spaghettified" for my taste and so it's time for an overhaul. Since I'm about to rewrite ~10,000 lines of code to clean up all sorts of "features", I wanted to know what the virtues of writing this code as an object?

Hi,

There are a number of great resources on this topic listed here http://www.idlcoyote.com/ including endless articles, references to books and examples.

You can't go wrong spending some time there, and the virtues are too numerous to list. How about an analogy? Oop is to widget programming as novocaine is to dentistry.

I'm surprised that you got 10K lines of a GUI system without having bumped into the site before.

Cheers,
Ben
