Using display as gui

Post by Biene_Maja »

Hi,

I want to write a script that starts display and adds a new menu entry. After u click the entry a new dialog pops up and the user can make a few inputs (like in the Shear... entry for example). Is this possible at all ?

Cheers

Good luck with this. I have been hoping that someone would implement some drawing and mensuration features so that control points could be picked and lines and circles could be drawn and the sizes and centers returned.

point locating to generate a point list would also be useful. Especially if you can correlate the points in two separate images. EG point A in this image and that image.

The display program, is actually despretally needing someone willing to look after and improve its code. Its user interface is very bad.

My major gripe with it has been that when no image was read or given the logo image pops up with a error message pop up, that you are forced to click on to remove! Its a real pain! Usually I would prefer it to just produce a command line error, and error exit code, and have nothing appear on the display at all!
