I am looking for a few volunteers to test some code for a new book on
IDL that I am writing. The books title is "Application Development with
IDL - Combining analytical methds with widget programming". I am
specifically looking for people to test the code on HP-UX, IBM AIX,
Linux, Solaris 2 and Macintosh. I will send you a disk and the latest
draft of the book to work through. If you are interested please email
me at ronn@rlkling.com and tell me what system you would like to test
on, and how quickly you can get to the code. This will be on a first
come, fist served basis so don't delay!
The book is designed to teach intermediate users how to create widget
programs that use their own analytical methods to do analysis. If you
are tired of writing the same old style widget programs where everything
is on the same panel and all event processing is done in one procedure
then this book is for you.
Chapter 1 describes techniques to get rid of loops and using recursion
to simplify IDL procedures and functions.
Chapter 2 covers using the cursor to outline regions on an image and
then extracting information from the regions.
Chapter 3 uses active contours (snakes) as an example of using values
entered from a GUI to study their effect on the analytical algorithm.
Chapter 4 uses simulated annealing to show how virtual procedures and
virtual functions can be used to test new algorithms without re-writing
the driver program.
Chapters 5 and 6 introduce objects and object-widget hybrids to make all
of your programs object oriented.
Chapter 7 uses object oriented programming to create an application
that finds watershed lines on an image. (Also called watershed
segmentation.)
Chapter 8 uses the object-widget mix to create a compound color well
widget that allows drag and drop color changes.
If you are interested please let me know.
