I'm using PV-Wave 6.10 on a Windows NT machine but will need
to use the same code on a X-Windows machine at some point. This
is my first time using PV-Wave although I do have quite extensive
IDL experience. The widgets in PV-Wave seem to be very different though.
My problem: I want to create a window with a plot area and some sliders
and a text widget. The text widget will be about 40 columns by 20 rows,
and I will update it with details of the current plot. The manual
implies that I should use Ww widget routines for portability.
So, I create a text widget with WwText and the first time I can display
a multiline file in it. However, to update it, all I can ever seem to do
is use WwSetValue to pass the widget a single line of text, which
does not wrap at 40 columns. I cannot pass it an array of text strings
for display, nor give it a filename to display as I do when i create it.
Am I missing something obvious? Is there another widget I should be
using instead?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
