Hi
I am newbie in Igor!
I execut my procedure but I do not know how can I delete some part of my program which I already executed?
For example I write program for appearing the buttons and after excute them , I decide to delete some of them but I can not!!!
Thanks foe helping
It is a bit difficult to understand what you actually want to 'delete'. Can you provide some more details, program code, or an example experiment?
Do you want to remove a button etc. from a control panel? There is the  KillControl command which might do what you want to achieve.

thanks a lot, it is exactly which I want.
I have another problem with my code that attached, I send my image from Labview and Igor plot my images in seperate Graph but I like Igor substitute every new image and at least I have one Graph instead of a lots of graph.

Best Regards

I have not looked at your code. I suspect based on your statement that you want to investigate the command KillWindow to remove a graph before you make a new graph with a display command.

Yes,I exactly think that one way for to remove a graph is using killwindow or killwave and also I add Killwindow in my code but it is not work yet and a lots of Graphs are appear.
why does not it work?

I often use this:

Function foo(myWave)
Wave myWave

DoWindow/K myWindow
Display/N=myWindow myWave
etc
End

it is my program:
Function AjustaImagen()

//Upload Image of Trap
GBLoadWave/O/N=wave/T={16,80}/W=1 "D:DATA:temporalIgor.txt"
Redimension/N=(640,480) wave0 //resize Image
Duplicate wave0 Trampa1 //Duplicate the original image
Display;AppendImage wave0
ModifyImage wave0 ctab= {*,*,Rainbow,0}

killwindow wave0
End
what is my mistake?

Try this modified version of your function:
Function AjustaImagen()
   
//Upload Image  of Trap
GBLoadWave/O/N=wave/T={16,80}/W=1 "D:DATA:temporalIgor.txt"
Redimension/N=(640,480) wave0      //resize Image
Duplicate wave0 Trampa1                 //Duplicate the original image
Display /N=MyGraph
String sWinName = S_Name  //save window name in string in case you do something later to change it
AppendImage wave0
ModifyImage wave0 ctab= {*,*,Rainbow,0}
killwindow  $sWinName
End


The graph name is not the same as the name of the wave displayed in it.

Thanks, I did it but unfortunately it kill all of my graph, I mean I have not any graph at least .
My gole is the cod can be replace the new image, so in final I have only one image.

I think killing the graph(s) is the wrong thing for you to be doing.

You should create a graph for the first image, and then for the next images, use:

ReplaceWave [/X/Y/W=winName ] image=imageName , waveName<pre><code class="language-igor">

to update the image.

Or just copy the new image data over the old image data, leaving the graph alone.

Allright, that was an oversight on my part. Try this if you want to continue on this road. Otherwise give John's suggest a go.

Function AjustaImagen()
//check for prior existance of MyGraph graph; if it exists then kill it.
DoWindow MyGraph //V_flag is set to 1 if window exists; 0 otherwise
if(V_flag == 1)
  KillWindow MyGraph //kill the window
endif
//Upload Image  of Trap
GBLoadWave/O/N=wave/T={16,80}/W=1 "D:DATA:temporalIgor.txt"
Redimension/N=(640,480) wave0      //resize Image
Duplicate wave0 Trampa1     //Duplicate the original image
Display /N=MyGraph       //new plot window will have name "MyGraph"
AppendImage wave0
ModifyImage wave0 ctab= {*,*,Rainbow,0}
End
