CW_ORIENT

The CW_ORIENT function creates a compound widget that provides a means to interactively adjust the three-dimensional drawing transformation and resets the !P.T system variable field to reflect the changed orientation.

The returned value of this function is the widget ID of the newly-created orientation-adjustment widget.

This routine is written in the IDL language. Its source code can be found in the file cw_orient.pro in the lib subdirectory of the IDL distribution.

Keywords to WIDGET_CONTROL and WIDGET_INFO

The widget ID returned by most compound widgets is actually the ID of the compound widget's base widget. This means that many keywords to the WIDGET_CONTROL and WIDGET_INFO routines that affect or return information on base widgets can be used with compound widgets.

See Compound Widgets for a more complete discussion of controlling compound widgets using WIDGET_CONTROL and WIDGET_INFO .

Widget Events Returned by the CW_ORIENT Widget

CW_ORIENT only returns events when the three dimensional drawing transformation has been altered. The !P.T system variable field is automatically updated to reflect the new orientation.
