In an earlier posting, I asked if anyone had been able to successfully run
PWIDGET (introduced in IDL V3.0.0) on a VaxStation. I had difficulty
getting both the plot and the widget controls to appear at the same time.
I get a message from RSI saying that my difficulties were due to the larger
font size and poorer resolution on a VaxStation. In the future releases,
they might get around this problem by making the widget control separate
from the plot window. Meanwhile, one can get around this problem on
VAXStations by supplying the WINDOW_SIZE keyword to PWIDGET, e.g. on my
VaxStation the following call to plot y vs. x solves my problem
IDL> pwidget, x, y, WINDOW = [500,500]
Note that info on PWIDGET is not available in the usual online help, nor is it
mentioned in my January 1993 IDL manuals. However, there is good online
help once one enters the PWIDGET, or one can type $IDL_DIR/help/pwidget.txt
(Unix) or IDL_DIR:[help]pwidget.txt (VMS).
