50 Chapter 2: Importing and Exporting Data
Exporting Data to the IDL Session
You can export data from an iTool into one or more variables using the IDL Data
Export Wizard.
It is important to know that the data you modify in an iTool is not changed in the IDL
main scope. Any data variables remain in IDL unchanged, because the iTools Data
Manager uses a copy of the data, not the data itself. So, if you want to save the
changes you make to data in an iTool, you can Export the data to IDL for further
analysis.
To export data to an IDL variable:
1. From an iTool window, select File → Export Data to IDL.
