										 In order to access the real and imaginary components of a complex array, you need to utilize the REAL_PART and IMAGINARY functions :
IDL> data = CINDGEN (3, 3)
IDL> PRINT, data
(     0.000000,     0.000000) (      1.00000,     0.000000) (      2.00000,     0.000000)
(      3.00000,     0.000000) (      4.00000,     0.000000) (      5.00000,     0.000000)
(      6.00000,     0.000000) (      7.00000,     0.000000) (      8.00000,     0.000000)
IDL> PRINT, REAL_PART (data)
     0.000000      1.00000      2.00000
      3.00000      4.00000      5.00000
      6.00000      7.00000      8.00000
IDL> PRINT, IMAGINARY (data)
     0.000000     0.000000     0.000000
     0.000000     0.000000     0.000000
     0.000000     0.000000     0.000000
