Re: Zooming and panning in plots

[Patrick Broos <patb(at)astro.psu.edu>]

Jean-Hugues,

I would wager that dozens of folks have thrown a GUI around IDL's

plot, histogram, tv, & surface routines.  My own humble versions are part of a 

larger package of X-ray astronomy tools (TARA), but they should be general-purpose.

Start with http://www.astro.psu.edu/xray/docs/TARA/TARA_users_guide/node34.html

and if you're interested after playing around with the tools you can venture

further into the TARA manual (http://www.astro.psu.edu/xray/docs/TARA/TARA_users_guide/node1.html).

The TARA code is at ftp://ftp.astro.psu.edu/pub/axaf/TARA


Good luck with your IDL work,
