Hi,
How can I create a save file that consists of resolved routines, one
of which requires a .PNG file? Ultimately I want to create a run-time
version of the program so I'm not sure if Craig Markwardt's CMSVLIB
routines would be applicable.
Thanks,
Rob Dimeo

I'll send it to you.... It is a real hack and I don't need to embarrass
myself ;)
But, anyone is welcome to it if they ask.

Hi Rick,
Craig pointed out an important issue when he asked once you have the
image file appended to the save file with the resolved routines,how do
you actually read it into a procedure from the main level where it is
restored?
I think I can see how your routine would work for what I need though.
We are including a PNG image in the splash screen of a widget
application (this program will be distributed as a runtime program
with an embedded IDL license). I think that I can just use
notify_realize keyword when I realize the top-level base of the
program to get the PNG data (that has been converted using your
routine).
I'd like to give it a shot if you could send me your code or post it
here.
Thanks,
Rob

Wow, I need to check out Craig's CMSAVE routine. It might have saved me
some work...
I just wrote a program a few weeks back that converts a 24 bit .PNG file to
an IDL .pro file to get around the inability to save data and routines
together in one save file. You call the function and it returns an array
containing the image. I have only used this on a relatively small image
(maybe 120x120) so I have no idea what the upper bound would be. I am sure
there are a load of issues when doing something like this but it worked
great for a little image in the "About" dialog and it didn't impact
application performance.
Craig's approach would be much cleaner but you are welcome to the code.
