Hi every one,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to write a script that will allow the display of the
coordinates underneath the mouse to be continuously displayed. The
following code snippet will do it but requires the user to click the
mouse to update the position information:<br>
<br>
'set lat -90 -40'<br>
'set lon 0 180'<br>
'set cint 4'<br>
'set ccolor 6'<br>
'd mslp'<br>
while (1)<br>
<font color="#000099"> 'q pos'<br>
x=subwrd(result,3)<br>
y=subwrd(result,4)<br>
'q xy2w 'x' 'y<br>
lon=subwrd(result,3)<br>
lat=subwrd(result,6)<br>
'draw recf 6.0 0.0 10.0 0.5'<br>
'draw string 6.1 0.1 'lat' 'lon<br>
endwhile<br>
</font><br>
I want the the code to work without having to click. From reading the
manual I though that using <font color="#000099">'q pos nowait'</font>
instead of <font color="#000099">'q pos'</font> would do the trick but
it ends up behaving exactly the same as 'q pos'. Any clues as to how to
get this functionality into a display ? I've tested the script on
v1.9b4 32-bit and on v2.0.a5<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Neil<br>
