Keywords

DIALOG

Set this keyword to have a print dialog appear.

ERROR

Set this keyword to a named variable to contain the returned error message (string). An empty string is returned if no errors occurred during the operation. By default, errors are reported via a GUI.

Note
If a named variable is passed in this keyword and an error occurs, the error GUI will not be displayed.

WINDOW_IN

Set this keyword equal to a name (string, case-sensitive) of a LIVE tool window or a LIVE tool buffer. The WIN tag of the REFERENCE_OUT structure from the creation of the LIVE tool will provide the window or buffer name. Window names are also visible in visualization window titlebars. If only one LIVE tool window (or buffer) is present in the IDL session, this keyword will default to it.
