Hi Gonzalo,
I dont know of any fundamental reasons, most of the time a problem like this
has the simplest solution, so here are some pointers to get you started:
Firstly, the system variable !ORDER just controls the transfer or "painting"
of an image to your screen, it does not change the coordinates of the
display. The keywords in CW_DEFROI control how the display coordinates are
tranlated into image coordinates, (these also include an ORDER keyword).
Make sure all keywords are being set correctly -e.g. if you dont set
IMAGE_SIZE then the function assumes the image and window have the same
dimentions, and the window may be a different size now you have switched
machines/OS.
It is of course possible that when you transferred all your software
routines that now different versions of some routines are being called. The
method of checking what routines are currently compiled and exactly _where_
they live was discussed last week and is simply:
IDL> HELP, /SOURCE_FILES
I would try some simple tests, like seeing whether for example after loading
the image "Print, pixel[10,10]" has the same value on both systems (for the
same image!!). Maybe create test images to test the stats on (checker board
(for min max average) or random normal noise (with known std dev):
checkbd_im = rebin(indgen(2,2),512,512) ;
noise_im = fix((randomn(s,512,512)*10)+100)
maybe save these as dicom on windows then import. If it is still wrong
analyse the roi's values independantly by putting a break in the code.
well you get the idea, at least of what another average user would do :)
good luck!
Martin
!ORDER System Variable
Controls the direction of image transfers when using the TV, TVSCL, and TVRD
procedures. If !ORDER is 0, images are transferred from bottom to top, i.e.
the row with a 0 subscript is written on the bottom. Setting !ORDER to 1,
transfers images from top to bottom.
