Folks,
Has anyone ever used XML files to configure IDL programs, or create IDL
menus for widget programs, that kind of thing? I'm looking for good
advice and/or ideas for how to do this kind of thing. I'd like to make
an application that can be built and/or modified by text (XML) files.
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
I've used IDL's IDLffXMLSAX objects to write a very convenient
XML configuration parser. My object inherits IDLffXMLSAX and
parses configuration into a hash of configuration options and their
values. I then use the hash to set up my program.
Here's a configuration file for the camera component of the instrument,
just to give a sense of what's been working for me:
<camera object="fabcamera_opencv"
greyscale="1"
order="1"
dimensions="[640,480]">
</camera>
The parser object is on github at
https://github.com/davidgrier/nufab/blob/master/objects/misc /fab_configurationparser__define.pro
TTFN,
David

I don't believe there is one. Closest I know of is to follow @ExelisVIS
on Twitter.

I'd still been pointing my aggregator at the old link's (http://idldatapoint.wordpress.com/) feed, although of course it's now non-functional which explains the lack of new posts there- Exelis, if you read this, could you please provide an RSS feed for the new location? RSS is much more convenient for me than Twitter for staying up to date with these things.
(Apologies also for the threadjack. Afraid I have no experience related to David's question.)

Until an RSS feed kicks in (I'm sure someone will announce such a thing if and when it becomes available), know that those of us who were volunteered upon to write topics have a deadline for publication every Thursday morning, so check back each week. We've been on the job since the beginning of 2014, so we encourage you to check the archives.
The upcoming blog is a real page-scroller, a riveting tale of the static class and self-generating embedded imagery, a true techno-thriller.

Jim, I can't wait! :)
I put in a request for an RSS feed with our Account Manager at Exelis yesterday.
