Hello,
You could use my lab's modified version of CW_DEFROI, which will optionally
return the vertices. There's also an option to draw rubber band lines in
polygon mode, and a few more modifications. I can send it to you as soon as
I get to work, if you want.
I believe the reason the "area array" returned by your CW_DEFROI is of the
wrong dimensions to put into an IDLanROI is that it is a 1D vector of array
subscripts. You can convert these into x and y vectors if you know your
image dimensions--see Fanning's website (just MOD the "area" vector by
x-width to get the x vector and divide by x-width to get y.)
If you do put this area/interior data into your ROI, you'll probably want to
change the TYPE. I know there's a TYPE which treats the data as points, but
I don't know the number to use offhand. However, if you want to continue to
use ROIs of TYPE 2 (closed polygon), you'll need the vertices. Either use
the modified CW_DEFROI or write your own code to draw the region (not a bad
idea, since CW_DEFROI uses its own crash-prone event loop)--I don't think
contouring the area is the best approach.
(I don't have IDL at this computer, so I'm not sure of all of the above
advice... )
Hope this helps,
