Mark,
Your program stays in the REPEAT loop until a button other than the left
button is pressed. So when you are finished and you press the right mouse
button, 'xx1' is updated to the current x-position of the mouse.
If you replace the REPEAT...ENDREP loop with this:
Repeat Begin
Cursor, xtemp, ytemp, /Wait, /Device
If !Mouse.Button EQ 1 Then Begin
xx1= xtemp
Device, Copy=[0,0,sx,sy,0,0,1]
PlotS, [xx,xx1], [yy,yy], /Device
EndIf
EndRep Until !Mouse.Button NE 1
then it appears to work as desired. It still doesn't work correctly if the
second x-coordinate is smaller than the first (but maybe you aren't concerned
about this possibility). If you replace you last line with the following, then
the magnitude of the line will be re-drawn in the lower left corner, even if
the line goes from right to left.
Device, Copy=[xx < xx1, yy, xx > xx1,yy,5,5,lastwin]
I'm not sure if you want to 'move' or 'copy' the line. Right now it will do
either, depending on where the first line is drawn. You can add the following
line at the end of the program to erase the first line:
Device, Copy=[0,0, sx, sy, 0, 6, 1]
I hope this helps,
Steve Hartmann
