Examples
The iTool Data Manager system maintains your data during the entire IDL session, unless ITRESET is used. This example shows how the data is maintained and how ITRESET is used to clear the iTool Data Manager.
Read in plot data and load it into an iPlot tool at the IDL Command Line:
Delete this tool with the IDELETE procedure at the IDL Command Line:
Read in surface data and load it into an iSurface tool at the IDL Command Line:
Use Window → Data Manager... to access the Data Manager Browser. The browser contains both plot and surface parameters. Although the iPlot tool was deleted, its data remains in the Data Manager. Click Dismiss.
Use File → New → iPlot to create an empty iPlot tool. If you want to load the plot data in the Data Manager into this tool, use Insert → Visualization to access the Insert Visualization dialog, which allows you to specify the plot data to be displayed.
At the IDL Command Line, enter:
