IDL Graphics Object Properties Displayed

You can import an IDL graphics object into an iTool and display it directly by selecting the "IDL Graphics Object" visualization type. The properties available will depend on the type of graphics object. See the properties listing for the specific graphics object in the IDL Reference Guide for details.

Note The behavior of IDL graphics objects imported into an iTool may not be the same as that of the corresponding iTool visualization. While importing an existing graphics object into an iTool will often work, you will generally obtain better results using an iTool visualization type.

Tip In order to display properties for a generic IDL graphics object in the iTool property sheet interface, the graphics object must have been created with the REGISTER_PROPERTIES keyword set. If no properties are registered, only the three standard iTool properties (Name, Description, and Show) will be present, as displayed in the previous figure.
