I am running IDL 5.1 on the SGI-Origin platform, and have noticed a couple
of things about the library routine "slicer3.pro"
(1) slicer3.pro contains the following call to XMANAGER with the /MODAL
keyword:
XMANAGER, 'Slicer3', wMainBase, EVENT_HANDLER='Viz3D_Event', $
/MODAL, CLEANUP='Viz3D_KillMain'
However, in IDL 5.1, the /MODAL keyword in XMANAGER has been superseded by
a call to /MODAL in WIDGET_BASE. Am not sure what side effects this will
cause, but at some point perhaps RSI should tidy this up.
(2) In a local copy of slicer3.pro, I tried to draw a world map on the
bottom of the cube. I inserted a MAP_SET command into procedure
pro Viz3D_DrawCub (at approx. line 1580 of the slicer3.pro source file).
The command was
Map_Set, 0, 0, 0, /Grid, /Cont, /T3d, /NoErase
However, this yielded the following error:
% XMANAGER: Caught unexpected error from client application. Message
follows...
% Expression must be a structure in this context: SMAINSTATE.
% Execution halted at: VIZ3D_SLICEEVENT 3504 slicer3.pro
% XMANAGER_EVLOOP_FAKE_MODAL 559
/usr/local/lib/rsi/idl_5.1/lib/xmanager.pro
% XMANAGER 697
/usr/local/lib/rsi/idl_5.1/lib/xmanager.pro
% SLICER3 6315 slicer3.pro
% CTM_DRAW_CUBE 80 ctm_draw_cube.pro
% CTM_PLOT 911 ctm_plot.pro
% GAMAP 392 gamap.pro
% $MAIN$
Any suggestions? Does anyone know if this could be a side effect of the
obsolete /MODAL keyword to XMANAGER?
Thanx,
Bob Y.
