Introduction to Visualization Properties

The IDL iTools comprise seven distinct tools: iImage, iPlot, iSurface, iContour, iVolume, iMap, and iVector. Each tool has a specific set of functions related to the type of data it is designed to use. In addition to these specific tasks, all tools have a number of functions in common.

This appendix describes those functions that all iTools have in common; for information about the functions unique to the individual iTools, refer to

This appendix describes the properties common to various iTool visualizations. The tables below describe both the graphical user interface presented by the Visualization Browser and the programmatic interface used by the iTools Procedural Interface.
