Dear all,

Some time ago, I thought I saw somewhere (manuals or this group) how I 
can now which plot windows are opened. I imagine there should be some 
array somewhere within IDL which contains a list of all the opened plot 
windows but I don't seem to find it.

Could somebody help?

Thanks in advance.

   testIndex = 4
   Device, Window_State=windowVector
   IF windowVector[testIndex] THEN Print, 'Window is open'

I wrap the WINDOW_STATE call up into a WindowAvailable function.
I pass it a window index number I'm interested in, it tells
me if it is open (1) or not (0).

Cheers,

David
