Well, we are ready to welcome you back into the CGS fold
when you are ready. Very little struggling going on there,
although I am working on fixing a small bug this morning. :-)

Cheers,

David

Well, if there is a chance that ITTVIS hired some Immortal, I'm on his way..

Thanks!

Cheers,
Mario.

Well, if by "impossible" you mean "incapable of being
accomplished by mortals", then I would say programming iTools
is "impossible." There is always a chance someone
at ITTVIS can find a way. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Of course, if you have ever tried to find something
on the ITTVIS web page, you know that secrecy is a
major tenet of the company, encapsulated in their motto:
"Only he who struggles learns."

Thanks David!

It is intriguing to think if at least somebody at ITT could succeed...
It's a sort of well keep secret or it's just impossible?

Regards,
Mario.

I think it is more likely that no one knows how to do it.
iTools are infernally complicated. To work with them
programmatically is often an exercise in extreme frustration.

If you asked about doing this in the CGS system, you might
get help more quickly. :-)

Cheers,

David

I'm still sinking in the Object Graphic Lands, but it seems a little better now...

About my primitive question, I achieved good results modifying the IDLitVisPolyline creation routine, located in lib/itools/components/idlitvispolyline__define.pro

The IDLitVisPolyline::Init subclasses the IDLitVisualization superclass, but "forgets" to set the MANIPULATOR_TARGET keyword.
Setting MANIPULATOR_TARGET in the IDLitVisPolyline class instantiation in OBJ_NEW , it is passed through the _EXTRA keyword mechanism and it seems to work properly. So, in the original code I changed:

visoROI = OBJ_NEW('IDLitVisPolyline',/REGISTER_PROPERTIES,/MANIPULATOR _TARGET)

Now I'm experimenting a little with IDLitVisRoi, IDLgrROI etc...

In the iTool Progamming Manual - IDL Version 7.1 pag 199 they said:

"IDLitVisRoi
Defines and displays a polygonal region of interest.
Visualization type: IDLROI
Data Types Accepted
• Vertex data: IDLARRAY2D"

any guess how define a IDLARRAY2D data?

Thanks folks!
