M. Katz-
Thanks a bunch for your response. I tried the code and ran into more
issues. Upon using the call_external it simply converts the image
variable back to a long since IDL does its variable type declarations
on the fly. I then tried the following code:
image = ptr_new(bytarr(call_external("C:\Users\11ryan\CIDLFinal\testDLL\Debug\testDLL.dll ","testDLL")))
window, xsize=640, ysize=480 ;--- open a window for display
help, image
tvscl, *image
And the help, image says that it is a pointer, but when trying to
display it i get an error saying TVSCL: Width and Height must be less
than 32000. It looks as if it is trying to take the value and use it
as a dimension instead. Any more advice on what I could try? thanks
again for all the help-
-Ryan
