;
;spd_ui_draw_object method: createInstance
;
;This routine creates an instance of the static components
;of any display, it also leaves only the dynamic components
;unhidden after it is complete, so the draw object is ready 
;for instance based drawing
;
;See IDL Help documentation on instances.  The short explanantion
;is that instances are used in object graphics to make draws,
;much much faster.
