Hi,

the answers to my post 'Matrox Framegrabber Interface' may also be of
interest to you.

I think that if you want to allocate memory in C and continue to use this in
IDL, you need to use something like IDL_MakeTempArray. This doesnt work if
you use call_external (correct ne if i am wrong), so you need the
linkimage-method. The documentation in edg.pdf is'nt too complete...

I use the call external way in the following way:
in IDL:
image = bytarr(512,512)
call_external(mydll,...,image)

in C++
IDL_LONG IDL_CDECL myDll( int argc, void* argv[])
{
BYTE* pbImIn = (BYTE*)argv[0];
/* use pBImIn to process, or fill image */
...

}

regards,

Gert
