Just a few days back (May 25) I wrote a reply on this topic "Re: Object
Graphics newbie question", I'll just quote a bit of it here. If you just
want to drop some objects in 3-space, find the right view and print (or
export to image or VRML), the IDL example program XObjView works very
nicely:

Here's an example of how easy XObjView is to use (code example attached
to this message as .pro file... hope it works for you):

=====
m=obj_new('IDLgrSurface', Dist(30), Color=[255,0,255], Style=2, $
          Shading=1, Name='Wide Magenta Surface')
g=obj_new('IDLgrSurface', Dist(10)*5, Color=[0,255,0], Style=2, $
          Shading=1, Name='Tall Green Surface')
xobjview,[m,g]
=====

Cheers,
