!P.SYMSIZE still broken? after 5 years?
Hi all,
it seems that if I define !P.SIMSYZE=2, in an idl startup file or at the prompt, it has no effect on the size plot uses. I couldn't figure it out so I logically searched the forum and found this: http://tinyurl.com/ylnzej Wot?! same problem but systime(1)-t0 = 2.8e6 So what is going on? did I mess up or is this still an issue? Thanks for your help, Gianguido |

It's all very sad :'(
RSI/ITTVIS seem quite evenhanded apparently :-) I hope you are not saying direct graphics is dead? just the letter box, right? why is the latter dead if the former is not? or am I missing something? Should I be jumping off and trying to catch the next one? Is this train to the future called object graphics? I must admit I have NEVER knowingly used an object in IDL - only fooled around in Java a long time ago. Where's a good place to start? I am quite confused... As for !P.SYMSIZE and PLOT/OPLOT, I think I will just try to write UBERPLOT/UBEROPLOT so that it explicitly uses the !P value... Thanks, Gianguido |

For objects in general, you can have a look at
"Programming IDL Objects: Why and how to do it" by D. M. Zarro (L-3Com/GSFC) http://orpheus.nascom.nasa.gov/~zarro/idl/objects/ Jean |
