Dear All,

I am using IDL 7.0 version. I am trying to make a GUI for some of my science goals. I am creating 2 plots in same GUI by dividing the widow in two giving two
window_draw IDs. But the problem I am facing each time I am creating the plot, my plot is coming on to the last defined ID of window_draw. These
are the commands I am using:

base = WIDGET_BASE( title = 'sdss_fixmgii: Check spectra', /row, $
UNAME='BASE', /tlb_size_events, xoffset=200L)
state.base_id = base


state.left_id = WIDGET_BASE( state.base_id, /column, $
/base_align_center,/align_center, $
xsize=round(3*xsize/4), $
ysize=ysize, $
uvalue='LEFT)BASE', frame=2)
state.draw_base_id = widget_base(state.left_id, /column, /base_align_left, $
xsize=round(3*xsize/4), $
ysize=round(4*ysize/5), $
uvalue='DRAW_BASE', frame=2, $
/tracking_events)
state.si2_id = widget_draw(state.draw_base_id, xsize=round(3*xsize/4.), $
ysize=round(4*ysize/5), /frame, retain=2, $
uvalue='SI2DRAW', /button_even, /motion_events)

state.right_id = WIDGET_BASE( state.base_id, /row, $
/base_align_center,/align_center, $
xsize=round(xsize/4.), ysize=ysize, $
uvalue='TOP_BASE', frame=2)
state.mdraw_id = widget_draw(state.right_id, xsize=round(xsize/4.), $
ysize=ysize, /frame, retain=2, $
uvalue='MDRAW')

WIDGET_CONTROL, base, /realize
WIDGET_CONTROL, base , set_uvalue = d1index, /no_copy
xmanager, 'new_wid', base

Can anyone help me?


Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Sapna,

If I understand your problem correctly, all you need to do is use WSET to choose which is the active draw window prior to invoking commands that draw things in each of the draw windows:
https://www.harrisgeospatial.com/docs/wset_procedure.html

You will need to retrieve the window id in order to use WSET. You can do that using the GET_VALUE keyword of WIDGET_CONTROL.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Guil
