I've completely re-written the IDL programming
chapters of my book for the 2nd Edition, which is
due out in October. This includes, in particular,
all the widget programming material. You might
want to try the example widget program I wrote
for this book. It is named Histo_GUI and you
can find it here:

ftp://ftp.dfanning.com/pub/dfanning/outgoing/coyote2nd/histo _gui.pro

That's all you will need if you just want to
study how a program is written. If you want to
run the program, you will need other programs
in the Coyote library. I would just download
all the programs in the coyote2nd directory.
I think all the programs you need are there,
although I haven't done the final run-through
to be absolutely certain. You will definitely
need these files:

colorbar.pro
error_message.pro
fsc_droplist.pro
fsc_fileselect.pro
fsc_inputfield.pro
fsc_plotwindow.pro
fsc_ps_config__define.pro
getcolor.pro
histoimage.pro
loaddata.pro
openimage.pro
pickcolorname.pro
psconfig.pro
pswindow.pro
tvimage.pro

If you need more explanation (other than what appears
in the program comments), you can always read the book. :-)

Best Regards,

David

P.S. Let's just say I wouldn't be using too many programs
in the lib directory as examples. :-(
