IRESET

Examples

The iTool Data Manager system maintains your data during the entire IDL session, unless IRESET is used. This example shows how the data is maintained and how IRESET is used to clear the iTool Data Manager.

Read in plot data and load it into an iPlot tool at the IDL Command Line:

file = FILEPATH('dirty_sine.dat', $

   SUBDIRECTORY = ['examples', 'data'])

data = READ_BINARY(file, DATA_DIMS = [256, 1])

IPLOT, data

Delete this tool with the IDELETE procedure at the IDL Command Line:

IDELETE

Read in surface data and load it into an iSurface tool at the IDL Command Line:

file = FILEPATH('elevbin.dat', $

   SUBDIRECTORY = ['examples', 'data'])

data = READ_BINARY(file, DATA_DIMS = [64, 64])

ISURFACE, data

Use Window > Data Manager... to access the Data Manager Browser. The browser contains both plot and surface parameters. Although the iPlot tool was deleted, its data remains in the Data Manager. Click Dismiss.

Use File > New > iPlot to create an empty iPlot tool. To load the plot data in the Data Manager into this tool, use Insert > Visualization to access the Insert Visualization dialog, which allows you to specify the plot data to be displayed.

At the IDL Command Line, enter:

IRESET, /NO_PROMPT

The two iTools are deleted and the data in the Data Manager is released. To verify the data is released, create an empty iSurface tool at the IDL Command Line:

ISURFACE

Use Window > Data Manager to access the Data Manager Browser. No data appears in the browser. The iTool Data Manager is empty. Click Dismiss.

At the IDL Command Line, enter:

IRESET, /NO_PROMPT

Syntax

IRESET [, /NO_PROMPT]
