Nice pictures, Bernard. I noticed, however, that a user tends to get
frustrated when there are more than 1-2 interactive alphanumeric fields
in a GUI. They begin to mix up values, put strings into numerical fields
and click randomly and frantically. I'd provide a map with crosshairs
for Lat-Long, and sliders for local min and max. And of course, project
name needs to default to the user's first name, and site name to "Kodak
- RSI" :-)
Cheers,
Pavel

Hello Again,
Sorry to reply to my own post - which means I didn't try hard enough
first to figure this out on my own!
The problem stems from the fact that I realized the object before
applying the offsets, then setting map = 1. I assumed that I had to
realize the object first, in order to get its geometry using widget_info
- this is not the case. By not realizing the object until after the
offsets are applied, the problem disappears. And, now I do not have to
use the map keyword.
