and undocumented classes.
IDLitVisualization Classes
The IDLitVisualization class provides methods for adding, deleting, and grouping
objects within a visualization. The following predefined classes contain graphic
objects and other visualizations. For example, the IDLitVisPlot is a container for plot,
symbol, and selection visual objects as well as other items that as a group, provide the
complete visual representation of the plot data. See Chapter 6, “Creating a
Visualization” for details.
IDLitTool Classes
The IDLitTool class provides the iTools system infrastructure used by every iTool.
All of the standard iTools are based on a subclass of IDLitTool called IDLitToolbase.
The IDLitToolbase class provides all of the base functionality found in the standard
iTools including menu items, file readers and writers, operations, and manipulators.
See “Subclassing from the IDLitToolbase Class” in Chapter 5 for more information
