Is there a way to get the size of the screen (not the size of the drawing
window) in pv~wave. And can you get the position of a window. I want to use a
popup menu in a window. If the user moves the window it should popup next time
where the user left it last time. I'm using the X driver on a VAXstation
running VMS. Our pv~wave version is 3.01.
Thanks in advance
Remo

One way is to use the widget creation routines to create the window:
b = widget_base( xoffset=xpos, yoffset=ypos )
d = widget_draw( b, xsize=512, ysize=512 )
widget_control, b, /realize
widget_control, d, get_value=window_id
Then you can use WIDGET_CONTROL to get info on the top-level-base:
widget_control, b, tlb_get_offset=xy_pos ; xy_pos=lonarr(2)
widget_control, b, tlb_get_size=xy_size ; xy_size=lonarr(2)
You can also get info using the GEOMETRY keyword to WIDGET_INFO().
You can reposition the widget with TLB_SET_OFFSET keyword to
WIDGET_CONTROL().
I never use IDL's WINDOW command because you have very little
control once you've made the window. It would be simple to make
a procedure to use the widget-creation routines to make a new
window and return the TLB widget ID (maybe as keyword). I do
something similar to this in all of my programs.
Hope this helps.

device, get_window_position=win_pos
print, win_pos
You'll need to make some corrections for the window trim to get a new
window in exactly the same position.
: Thanks,
You're welcome.
