I'd be curious to see some of the "award winning" IDL interfaces
out there. Perhaps some nicely designed applications using bitmaps,
colors, etc,etc. Like ENVI, maybe better.
They don't need supporting code, I'd just enjoy seeing other's ideas
for a nice interface....
Thanks,
Brian
p.s. If a bunch of people send me examples, I will post a the collection.
Really.

I did several applications where I read the mouse & did different
things depending
on where in the window it was. The window was subdivided into
buttons &
images. Some buttons acted as sliders, etc. The action lists (one
entry
for each "button") where PV~WAVE strings which were executed to cause
the action. I could edit button location & size and its action. The
image
windows were also "buttons" and responded to the mouse in various
ways.
The problems were a lack of drawing primitives for button drawing
(yes I know
that is the purpose of the widget libraries) and the difficulty of
doing this with
multiple windows.
I liked this approach as it gave complete control over the user
interface and
of course I didn't have to learn widgets (NIH syndrome).

not much of a market for IDL or PV~WAVE in San Antonio
