getIONGraphics()

The getIONGraphics() method returns a Graphics object that you can use to get graphics information on ION's drawing buffer or draw directly to. Unlike the getGraphics() method, getIONGraphics() allows you to affect the actual IDL drawable area. For example, you would use the getIONGraphics() method when manipulating the buffer using the COPY keyword to IDL's DEVICE procedure.
