David -
First, a gentle reminder to RTFM, specifically, the section under
WIDGET_DRAW where it discusses the event structure.
You will use EVENT.TYPE to determine the type of event; this will be
0 for a button press. For a left button press, EVENT.PRESS should be
1. EVENT.PRESS and EVENT.RELEASE are bitmasks for the three buttons,
so the values are associated like so:
1 : left button
2 : middle button
4 : right button
A typical event handler dealing with draw widget events might have
a section that looks something like:
TYPE = STRMID( TAG_NAMES(EVENT, /STRUCTURE_NAME), 7, 100)
CASE ( TYPE ) OF
"BUTTON": BEGIN
...
END
"DRAW": BEGIN
CASE ( EVENT.TYPE ) OF
0: BEGIN ;*** BUTTON PRESS/RELEASE ***
CASE ( EVENT.PRESS ) OF
1: BEGIN ;*** LEFT ***
...
END
2: BEGIN ;*** MIDDLE ***
...
END
4: BEGIN ;*** RIGHT ***
...
END
ELSE:
ENDCASE
END
1: BEGIN ;*** BUTTON RELEASE ***
...
END
2: BEGIN ;*** MOTION ***
...
END
3: BEGIN ;*** VIEWPORT (SCROLLBAR) MOVED ****
...
END
4: BEGIN ;*** VISIBILITY CHANGED ***
...
END
ELSE:
ENDCASE
END
ENDCASE
Yours may be quite different if you want to process button presses
and releases similarly.
Once you have determined that you have a left button press, you use
EVENT.X and EVENT.Y to build a list of vertices for your
square that you pass to POLYFILL to fill your polygon. You can then
use POLYFILLV to return the subscripts of the array elements inside
the polygon. Note that these will be one-dimensional subscripts! You
can convert these to 2D subscripts with:
xcoors = indices mod xdim
ycoors = indices / xdim
where indices are the 1D subscripts and xdim is the x dimension of
the window.
Hope this helps.
Dave
