Chapter 1: Overview
How to Use this Reference Section

All of ENVIs routines are documented alphabetically in this chapter. A description
of each routine follows its name. Beneath the general description of the routine are a
number of sections that describe the syntax for the routine, its arguments (if any), its
keywords (if any), and an example of using the routine. These sections are described
below.
Syntax
The Syntax section shows the proper syntax for calling the function or procedure.
The following table lists the elements used in ENVI and IDL syntax listings:
Element
Description
[ ] (Square brackets)
Indicates that the contents are optional. Do not include the

brackets in your call.
[ ] (Italicized square
brackets)
Indicates that the square brackets are part of the statement

(used to define an array).
Argument
Arguments are shown in italics, and must be specified in

the order listed.
KEYWORD
Keywords are all caps, and can be specified in any order.

For functions, all arguments and keywords must be
contained within parentheses.
/KEYWORD
Indicates a boolean keyword.
Italics
Indicates arguments, expressions, or statements for which

you must provide values.
{ } (Braces)
Indicates that you must choose one of the values they

contain
Encloses a list of possible values, separated by vertical
lines ( | )
Encloses useful information about a keyword
Defines an IDL structure (this is the only case in which
the braces are included in the call).
Table 1-1: Elements of ENVI and IDL Syntax
Chapter 1: Overview
13
Element
Description
| (Vertical lines)
Separates multiple values or keywords.
[, Value1, ... , Valuen]
Indicates that any number of values can be specified.
[, Value1, ... , Value8]
Indicates the maximum number of values that can be

specified.
Table 1-1: Elements of ENVI and IDL Syntax (Continued)
Elements of Syntax
Square Brackets ( [] )
Content between square brackets is optional. Pay close attention to the

grouping of square brackets. Consider the following examples:
ROUTINE_NAME, Value1 [, Value2] [, Value3]: You must include Value1.
You do not have to include Value2 or Value3. Value2 and Value3 can be
specified independently.
ROUTINE_NAME, Value1 [, Value2, Value3]: You must include Value1. You
do not have to include Value2 or Value3, but you must include both Value2 and
Value3, or neither.
ROUTINE_NAME [, Value1 [, Value2]]: You can specify Value1 without
specifying Value2, but if you specify Value2, you must also specify Value1.
Do not include square brackets in your statement unless the brackets are
italicized. Consider the following syntax:
Result = KRIG2D( Z [, X, Y] [, BOUNDS=[xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]] )
An example of a valid statement is:
R = KRIG2D( Z, X, Y, BOUNDS=[0,0,1,1] )
Note that when [, Value1, ... , Valuen] is listed, you can specify any number of
arguments. When an explicit number is listed, as in [, Value1, ... , Value8], you
can specify only as many arguments as are listed.
Braces ( {} )
For certain keywords, a list of the possible values is provided. This list is
enclosed in braces, and the choices are separated by a vertical line ( | ). Do not
14
Chapter 1: Overview
include the braces in your statement. For example, consider the following
syntax:
READ_JPEG [, TRUE={1 | 2 | 3 }]
In this example, you must choose either 1, 2, or 3. An example of a valid
statement is:
READ_JPEG, TRUE=1
Braces are used to enclose the allowable range for a keyword value. Unless
otherwise noted, ranges provided are inclusive. Consider the following syntax:
Result = CVTTOBM( Array [, THRESHOLD=value{0 to 255}] )
An example of a valid statement is:
Result = CVTTOBM( A, THRESHOLD=150 )
Braces are also used to provide useful information about a keyword. For
example:
[, LABEL=n{label every nth gridline}]
Do not include the braces or their content in your statement.
Certain keywords are prefaced by X, Y, or Z. Braces are used for these

keywords to indicate that you must choose one of the values it contains. For
example, [{X | Y}RANGE=array] indicates that you can specify either
XRANGE=array or YRANGE=array.
Note that in ENVI and IDL, braces are used to define structures. When
defining a structure, you do want to include the braces in your statement.
Italics
Italicized words are arguments, expressions, or statements for which you must
provide values. The value you provide can be a numerical value, such as 10, an
expression, such as DIST(100), or a named variable. For keywords that expect
a string value, the syntax is listed as KEYWORD=string. The value you
provide can be a string, such as 'Hello' (enclosed in single quotation marks), or
a variable that holds a string value.
The italicized values that must be provided for keywords are listed in the most
helpful terms possible. For example, [, XSIZE=pixels] indicates that the XSIZE
keyword expects a value in pixels, while
[, ORIENTATION=ccw_degrees_from_horiz] indicates that you must provide
a value in degrees, measured counter-clockwise from horizontal.
Chapter 1: Overview
15
Procedures
Procedures have the syntax:
PROCEDURE_NAME, Argument [, Optional_Arguments]
where PROCEDURE_NAME is the name of the procedure, Argument is a required

parameter, and Optional_Argument is an optional parameter to the procedure. Note
that the square brackets around optional arguments are not used in the actual call to
the procedure, they are simply used to denote the optional nature of the arguments
within this document.
Functions
Functions have the syntax:
Result = FUNCTION_NAME(Argument [, Optional_Arguments])
where Result is the returned value of the function, FUNCTION_NAME is the name
of the function, Argument is a required parameter, and Optional_Argument is an
optional parameter. Note that the square brackets around optional arguments are not
used in the actual call to the function, they are simply used to denote the optional
nature of the arguments within this document. Note also that all arguments and
keyword arguments to functions should be supplied within the parentheses that
follow the functions name.
Functions do not always have to be used in assignment statements (i.e.,
A=SIN(10.2)), they can be used just like any other IDL expression. For example,
you could print the result of SIN(10.2) by entering the command:
PRINT, SIN(10.2)
Arguments
The Arguments section describes each valid argument to the routine. Note that these
arguments are positional parameters that must be supplied in the order indicated by
the routines syntax.
Named Variables
Often, arguments that contain values upon return from the function or procedure
(output arguments) are described as accepting named variables. A named variable is
simply a valid IDL variable name. This variable does not need to be defined before
being used as an output argument. Note, however that when an argument calls for a
named variable, only a named variable can be usedsending an expression causes an
error.
16
Chapter 1: Overview
Keywords
The Keywords section describes each valid keyword argument to the routine. Note
that keyword arguments are formal parameters that can be supplied in any order.
Keyword arguments are supplied to ENVI routines by including the keyword name
followed by an equal sign (=) and the value to which the keyword should be set.
For example, to set the filename to ENVI_SETUP_HEAD set the FNAME keyword
to a string containing the desired filename.
ENVI_SETUP_HEAD, FNAME=test.img
Note that keywords can be abbreviated to their shortest unique length. However, this
is not recommended, since the addition of a keyword may make the abbreviation
invalid.
Setting Keywords
When the documentation for a keyword says something similar to, Set this keyword
to enable logarithmic plotting, the keyword is simply a switch that turns an option
on and off. Usually, setting such keywords equal to 1 causes the option to be turned
on. Explicitly setting the keyword to zero (or not including the keyword) turns the
option off.
There is a shortcut that can be used to set a keyword equal to 1 without the usual
syntax (i.e., KEYWORD=1). To set a keyword, simply preface it with a slash
character (/). For example, set the OPEN keyword to ENVI_SETUP_HEAD as
follows:
ENVI_SETUP_HEAD, FNAME=FNAME, /OPEN
Named Variables
Often, keywords that contain values upon return from the function or procedure
(output arguments) are described as accepting named variables. A named variable is
a valid IDL variable name. This variable does not need to be defined before being
used with the keyword. Note, however that when a keyword calls for a named
variable, only a named variable can be usedsending an expression causes an error.
For example, the WIDGET_CONTROL procedure can return the user values of
widgets in a named variable using the GET_UVALUE keyword. To return the user
value for a widget ID (contained in the variable MYWIDGET) in the variable
USERVAL, you would use the command:
WIDGET_CONTROL, mywidget, GET_UVALUE = userval
Chapter 1: Overview
17
Upon return from the procedure, USERVAL contains the user value. Note that
USERVAL did not have to be defined before the call to WIDGET_CONTROL.
Examples
Most routines have an example that demonstrates how the function or procedure is
used. These code fragments are designed to serve as examples for your own
programs.

Quick Reference of ENVI Library Function

Variable Codes
Many of the ENVI library routines use integer values (or codes) to define the state of
variables, data, or images. These codes are often encountered in routines such as
ENVI_FILE_QUERY, ENVI_SETUP_HEAD, ENVI_INIT_TILE, and
ENVI_PROJ_CREATE, although their definitions are the same in all library routines.
The following tables provides a quick reference of the codes for many of the most
commonly used variables, including the projection type code and data required for
defining a new projection in batch mode.

CATCH
The CATCH procedure provides a generalized mechanism for the handling of
exceptions and errors. Calling CATCH establishes an error handler for the current
procedure that intercepts all errors that can be handled by IDL, excluding non-fatal
warnings such as math errors.
When an error occurs, each active procedure, beginning with the offending procedure
and proceeding up the call stack to the main program level, is examined for an error
handler. If an error handler is found, control resumes at the statement after the call to
CATCH. The index of the error is returned in the argument to CATCH. The !ERROR
(or !SYSERROR) and !ERR_STRING (or !SYSERR_STRING) system variables are
also set. If no error handlers are found, program execution stops, an error message is
issued, and control reverts to the interactive mode. A call to ON_IOERROR in the
procedure that causes an I/O error supersedes CATCH, and takes the branch to the
label defined by ON_IOERROR.
This mechanism is similar, but not identical to, the setjmp/longjmp facilities in C and
the catch/throw facilities in C++.
Syntax
CATCH, Variable
Arguments
Variable
A named variable in which the error index is returned. When an error handler is
established by a call to CATCH, Variable is set to zero. If an error occurs, Variable is
set to the error index and control is transferred to the statement after the call to
CATCH.
Keywords
CANCEL
Set this keyword to cancel the error handler for the current procedure. This
cancellation does not affect other error handlers that may be established in other
active procedures.

Use Cross-Track Illumination Correction to remove variation in the cross-track
illumination of an image. Cross track illumination variations may be due to
vignetting effects, instrument scanning, or other non-uniform illumination effects.
Along-track mean values are calculated and are used to show the mean variation in
the cross-track direction. A polynomial function, with a defined order, is fit to the
means and used to remove the variation. In addition,
CROSS_TRACK_CORRECTION _DOIT is used to perform antenna pattern
correction on radar images. Radar images typically have a variation in gain across the
range direction (cross-track), due to the instruments antenna gain pattern. The CrossTrack provides enough control to perform either the illumination correction or the
antenna pattern correction.

Use this procedure to set user defined header values. User defined header values are
in addition to the standard ENVI header keywords set using ENVI_SETUP_HEAD
or ENVI_ENTER_DATA. User defined header values use the same keyword =
value(s) format as the standard ENVI header values.
Warning
The user defined keywords can be any string values but must not conflict with the
standard ENVI header keywords. See ENVI Header Format of the ENVI Users
Guide for a list.
To add user defined keywords to an ENVI file, first set the keyword value using
ENVI_ASSIGN_HEADER_VALUE. After setting all new user header values use the
routine ENVI_WRITE_FILE_HEADER to write out the new ENVI header to disk.
The new header file will contain all the current ENVI header keywords plus the
newly defined user header values.
Syntax
Keywords
FID
The file ID for the open file. This is the value returned from the keyword R_FID in
the ENVI_OPEN_FILE procedure. FID is a long integer with a value greater than
zero. An invalid file ID is specified as 1.
KEYWORD
The user defined keyword string. KEYWORD is a case insensitive string value
defining the user defined keyword. The value of KEYWORD cannot conflict with the
standard ENVI header keywords. See ENVI Header Format in Appendix B of the
ENVI Users Guide for a list.
PRECISION (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify the number of digits to the right of the decimal
point when saving floating point, double precision, and complex types for user
defined header values. The default is to use four decimal places, PRECISION = 4.
164
Note
Use care to avoid loss of precision since the header values are stored as ASCII
strings.
SCIENTIFIC_NOTATION (optional)
If set, the string of the number is stored in scientific notation rather than standard
floating point notation. The precision of the output string can be specified with the
PRECISION keyword.
VALUE
The user defined keyword values. VALUE can be a single element or an array of byte
(8-bits), integer (16-bits), long integer (32-bits), floating-point (32-bits), doubleprecision floating point (64-bits), complex (2x32-bits), string, double-precision
complex (2x64-bits), unsigned integer (16-bits), unsigned long integer (32-bits), long
64-bit integer, or unsigned long 64-bit integer values. For floating point, double
precision, and complex numbers the keyword PRECISION is used to define the
number of decimal points to output to the file header.
Example
The following example will open the image file can_tmr.img using the
ENVI_OPEN_FILE routine. Once the file is open and a valid file ID is returned, a
user defined header value for My Scale Factors is stored to the header using
ENVI_ASSIGN_HEADER_VALUE. The new header field is queried using
ENVI_GET_HEADER_VALUE with the keyword to return floating point values.
The returned result is printed to the ENVI log window. At this point the header
change exists only in the current ENVI session. In order to preserve this change to the
disk file the routine ENVI_WRITE_FILE_HEADER is called to write an updated
header to disk.

This routine automatically calculates tie points for two images, which makes fully
automatic image registration possible. The tie points can be used by
ENVI_REGISTER_DOIT to co-register the two images.
Two matching algorithms are used to obtain tie points: area-based matching, and
feature-based matching.
Area-based matching Compares the grayscale values of patches of two or

more images and tries to find conjugate image locations based on similarity in
the grayscale value patterns.
Feature-based matching Extracts distinct features from the images

independently, and then identifies corresponding features by comparing
feature attributes and consistency in the location of corresponding features.
Syntax

Arguments
None
167
Keywords
AREA_CHIP_SIZE (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify an integer value for one side of a square image
chip size for finding the Moravec or Frstner interest points in the base image. Larger
values require more computational time; however, the tie points obtained may be
more useful. The default is 128, meaning a 128 x 128 image chip size. Area-based
matching only.
BASE_FID
Use this keyword to specify the file ID of the base image. This is the value returned
from the R_FID keyword in the ENVI_OPEN_FILE procedure. BASE_FID is a long
integer with a value greater than zero. An invalid file ID is specified as 1.
BASE_OVERLAY_DIMS (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify the spatial dimensions on the base image that
overlap with the warp image. This information enables you to achieve better results
for feature-based matching. If both the base image and the warp image have map
information, the maximum overlapping region of the base image is taken as the
default dimension. Otherwise, the image dimension of the base image is taken as the
default dimension. Feature-based matching only.
The BASE_OVERLAY_DIMS keyword is set to a five-element array of long
integers with the following definitions:
Array Element
Description
BASE_OVERLAY_DIMS[0]
Unused for this function. Set to 1.
The starting X pixel.

Note - The first pixel is number zero.
The ending X pixel.
The starting Y pixel.

168
Array Element
Description
The ending Y pixel.
BASE_MATCH_POS (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a band number from the base image on which to
perform image matching. This keyword is a long integer, ranging from 0 to the
number of bands minus 1. The default is 0 (the first band).
IN_TIE_POINTS_ARRAY (optional)
Use this optional keyword to store three or more seed tie points to guide the image
matching process. The keyword is a (4, n) floating-point array, where the four
columns are X1, Y1 (the base image coordinates) and X2, Y2 (the warp image
coordinates), and n is the number of tie points.
INTEREST_OPERATOR (optional)
Set this optional keyword to specify the operator type to use for identifying point
features. It can be either 0 (Moravec operator) or 1 (Frstner). The default is 0. Areabased image matching only.
MATCH_METHOD (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify an integer indicating the matching method to
use. The default is 0.
The following table shows the values that represent how the matching method is
used.
Value
Description
The match method used is automatically decided by ENVI. If

the IN_TIE_POINTS_ARRAY keyword is set, or both the base
image and warp image have map info (or RPC or pseudo map
info), then area-based matching is used. Otherwise, featurebased matching is used.
Force to use area-based matching.
169
Value
2
Description
Force to use feature-based matching.
MAX_MATCH_LEVEL (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify the maximum image dimension on which to
extract feature points and perform matching. A value of n indicates that the maximum
image dimension on which to extract feature points is the original image dimension
divided by 2n. A value of 0 (default) means that the extraction and matching of
feature points are performed on the full-resolution base image. The default value is an
image pyramid level that is close to an image size of 512 x 512. Feature-based
matching only.
Note
Smaller values for this keyword result in more feature points being extracted,
giving more accurate results; however, the process requires significantly more time.
For large image sizes, select a larger MAX_MATCH_LEVEL value so that image
matching can be completed in a relatively shorter period of time.
MIN_CORRELATION (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a floating-point value to use for the minimum
correlation coefficient. Any matches with a correlation coefficient smaller than this
keyword value are discarded. The default is 0.70. Area-based matching only.
MOVE_WIN (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify an integer that is one side of a square area
defining the moving window size. The default is 11, meaning an moving window size
of 11 x 11. Area-based matching only.
NUM_MATCH_LEVELS (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify an integer value for the number of scale space
levels for extracting feature points. The default is 1. Feature-based matching only.
Larger values require more time for matching; however more feature points are
generated. If this keyword is set greater than one, the matching is performed starting
from the image pyramid level determined by MAX_MATCH_LEVEL, and
continuing upward along the image pyramid until NUM_MATCH_LEVEL is
reached.
170
Figure 7-1 shows an example of an image pyramid with a base image size of 2048 x
2048. If MAX_MATCH_LEVEL is set to 1 and NUM_MATCH_LEVELS is set to 2,
then matching is conducted on two levels: 1024 x 1024 and 512 x 512. The matching
process stops, however, if the image size of a pyramid level is smaller than 64 x 64.
In that case, the actual number of match levels used may be smaller than the value of
NUM_MATCH_LEVELS set by the user.
Figure 7-1: Image Pyramid Illustrating Matching Levels
NUM_OVERSAMPLES (optional)
Set this optional keyword to an integer specifying the number of over-samples.
Larger values require more processing time, but result in increased reliability. The
default value is 1. Area-based matching only.
NUM_TIE_POINTS (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify an integer value for the number of tie points to
generate. The default is 25. Area-based matching only.
OUT_TIE_POINTS_ARRAY (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a named variable for storing auto-generated tie
points. This is a (4, npts) floating-point array, where the four columns are the
coordinates of the base and warp images, and npts is the number of tie points. The
values use 0-based indexing.
171
OUT_TIE_POINTS_NAME (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify an output filename in which to store the tie
points. The values use 1-based indexing.
PIXEL_SIZE_RATIO (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a floating-point value for the ratio of the warp
image pixel size to the base image pixel size. This is used as a guide in the feature
matching process. The default is 1.0. Feature-based matching only.
RELIABILITY_CHECK (optional)
Set this optional keyword to either 0 (false) or 1 (true) to specify whether some
matches are removed based on certain secondary reliability measurements. The
default is 1 (true). Feature-based matching only.
Setting this keyword to 1 results in fewer, yet more reliable tie points. Setting this
keyword to 0 results in more tie points which are not as reliable. Typically, most
remote sensing imagery applications will use the default setting of 1. However, in
certain cases, you may want to set RELIABILITY_CHECK to 0 to extract as many
tie points as possible; which will be at the expense of the output tie point reliability.
SEARCH_WIN (optional)
Set this optional keyword to an integer value representing one side of a square area
specifying the search window size. Using larger values makes it more likely that the
correct match may be found; however, more computational time is required for these
conditions. The default is 81, meaning the search window size is 81 x 81. Areabased matching only.
WARP_FID
Use this keyword to specify the file ID for the input warp image file. This input warp
file ID is the value returned from the R_FID keyword in the ENVI_OPEN_FILE
procedure. WARP_FID is a long integer with a value greater than zero. An invalid
file ID is specified as 1.
WARP_MATCH_POS (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a single band position from the input warp
image on which to perform image matching. WARP_MATCH_POS is a long integer,
ranging from zero to the number of bands minus 1. The default is 0 (the first band).
172
WARP_OVERLAY_DIMS (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify the spatial dimensions of the warp image that
overlap with the base image. If both the base image and the warp image have map
information, the maximum overlapping region of the warp image is taken as the
default dimension. Otherwise, the image dimension of the warp image is taken as the
default dimension. Feature-based matching only.
The WARP_OVERLAY_DIMS keyword is a five-element array of long integers with
Array Element
Description
WARP_OVERLAY_DIMS[0]
Unused for this function, set to 1.

The ending X pixel.

The ending Y pixel.

The ENVI_BANDMAX_SELECT_BANDS function performs the BandMax
background suppression algorithm to derive a subset of significant bands using input
target and background spectra. The resulting band subset can be used to highlight
targets and suppress backgrounds in a classification or other analysis.
Syntax
Result = ENVI_BANDMAX_SELECT_BANDS(TargetSpectra, BackgroundSpectra
[, GOOD_BAND_COUNT=variable] [, GOOD_BAND_LIST=variable]
[, SIGNIFICANCE=variable] [, THRESHOLD=value{0 to 1}])
Return Value
Returns an array of band positions that are determined to be best for differentiating
between the target and background spectra. This value can be used as a POS input to
other ENVI processing functions. If no significant bands are found, a value of 1 is
returned.
Arguments
TargetSpectra
An array of one or more spectra representing the input targets.
BackgroundSpectra
An array of one or more spectra representing the input backgrounds. These spectra
must have the same number of bands as the TargetSpectra argument.
Keywords
GOOD_BAND_COUNT (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a named variable to contain a scalar value
indicating the number of significant bands found by the BandMax algorithm.
GOOD_BAND_LIST (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a named variable to contain an array of zeroes
and ones indicating which bands are determined to be significant by the BandMax
187
algorithm. Each value is set to 0 (indicating this band should be ignored for
processing) or 1 (indicating this band is significant for isolating the targets from the
background data). If no significant bands are found, the variable returned by this
keyword is undefined.
SIGNIFICANCE (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a named variable to contain an array of band
significance values. The array returned by this keyword contains floating-point
values ranging from 0 to 1. Each value indicates how well the corresponding band
can be used to differentiate between target and background spectra. If an error is
encountered in the processing, a value of 1 is returned.
THRESHOLD (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a floating-point value ranging from 0 to 1. This
value represents the threshold for the minimum significance value used to determine
which bands are returned by this function. The default threshold value is calculated to
select 25% of the input bands, but never less than 6 bands. If an undefined named
variable is specified for this keyword, the default threshold value is returned for that
variable.
Examples
The following example uses the cup95eff.int file in the data directory and the
jpl1.sli file in the spec_lib/jpl_lib directory. Input image wavelengths are
derived from the cup95eff.int file to resample the spectra from the library in the
jpl1.sli file. One resampled spectrum is used as a target and another is used as the
background in the BandMax algorithm.

Example
The following example will convert the file bhtmref.img from UTM zone 13 North
to UTM zone 12 North. This example uses the following files found in the DATA
directory of the ENVI installation:
bhtmref.img
bhtmref.hdr
The output UTM projection is created using ENVI_PROJ_CREATE, with UTM zone
12 North, the default datum of North America 1927, and the default units of Meters.
The output pixel size is set to 28.5 meters for both X and Y. The conversion will use
the RST method with bilinear resampling.

Syntax
ENVI_CONVERT_PROJECTION_COORDINATES, iXmap, iYmap, iProj, oXmap,
oYmap, oProj
Arguments
iProj
Use this argument to specify the input projection for the iXmap and iYmap points.
iProj is a projection structure returned from ENVI_GET_PROJECTION or
ENVI_PROJ_CREATE.
iXmap
Use this argument to specify the input X map points which will be converted from the
iProj projection to the oProj projection. iXmap can be a single value or an array of
values.
iYmap
Use this argument to specify the input Y map points, which will be converted from
the iProj projection to the oProj projection. iYmap can be a single value, or an array
of values.
oProj
Use this argument to specify the output projection for the converted iXmap and
iYmap points. oProj is a projection structure returned from
ENVI_GET_PROJECTION or ENVI_PROJ_CREATE.
226
oXmap
Use this argument to specify a named variable that will contain the converted X map
points. The oXmap points are the input X map coordinates converted to the oProj
projection.
oYmap
Use this argument to specify a named variable that will contain the converted Y map
points. The oYmap points are the input Y map coordinates converted to the oProj
projection.
Keywords
INPUT_Z (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the input elevation values corresponding to each of the
input iXmap and iYmap points. Elevation values are used to more accurately convert
between different data. INPUT_Z is a floating point array having the same length as
iXmap.
OUTPUT_Z (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a named variable that will contain the output
elevation values for each of the converted map coordinates. OUTPUT_Z is set only if
INPUT_Z is specified.
Example
This example converts a series of latitude and longitude points in a Geographic
projection to a UTM Zone 11 projection. The new map points are converted to a
UTM zone 12 projection. First, we will create the Geographic and UTM zone 11
projections using ENVI_PROJ_CREATE. Next, we create an array of XY latitude
and longitude map coordinates. These are the points that will be converted to the
UTM zone 11 projection using
ENVI_CONVERT_PROJECTION_COORDINATES. The results of the UTM zone
11 map coordinates will not be converted to UTM zone 12 map coordinates.

The ENVI_DEFINE_MENU_BUTTON procedure enables you to automatically add
buttons to the ENVI menu system from a user-defined routine in a .pro or .sav file
within the save_add directory. The .pro or .sav file must contain a procedure
named <filename>_define_buttons, where <filename> is the name of that
file. For instance, if the file in the save_add directory is named my_process.pro,
a procedure named my_process_define_buttons.pro needs to be in the
my_process.pro file to be able to add buttons to the ENVI menu system. The
<filename>_define_buttons procedure has only one argument and no
keywords, as shown in the following example code:
PRO my_process_define_buttons, buttonInfo
;
; Define Buttons with ENVI_DEFINE_MENU_BUTTON
;
END
The <filename>_define_buttons procedure is used to call the

ENVI_DEFINE_MENU_BUTTON procedure, which enables you to define a new
button. The ENVI_DEFINE_MENU_BUTTON procedure has one argument and an
assortment of keywords, which includes information on where the new button is
237
located in the ENVI menu system. The following figure and comments show an
example of button location terminology in the ENVI menu system.
Figure 10-2: Menu Location Example in the ENVI Main Menu

The Basic Tools option is a button containing a pull-down menu. It is also the parent
button of Resize Data (Spatial/Spectral), Subset Data via ROIs, etc. Resize Data
(Spatial/Spectral) is a child button of Basic Tools. Statistics is a sibling button to
Resize Data (Spatial/Spectral), Subset Data via ROIs, etc. Statistics is also a pulldown button and a parent button.
Syntax
ENVI_DEFINE_MENU_BUTTON, ButtonInfo [, /DISPLAY],
EVENT_PRO=string, /MENU | UVALUE=string
[, POSITION=long integer or string] [, REF_INDEX=long integer]
[, REF_UVALUE=variable], REF_VALUE=string [, /SEPARATOR]
[, /SIBLING], VALUE=string
238
Arguments
ButtonInfo
A structure containing information about the new button. This argument must be the
same as the argument used for the <filename>_define_buttons procedure.
Warning
The value of the argument is defined by ENVI and should not be modified.
Keywords
DISPLAY (optional)
Set this optional keyword to add the new button to the Display menu bar in the Main
Image window, instead of the ENVI main menu. The new button is placed in the
ENVI main menu by default (DISPLAY = 0).
EVENT_PRO
Use this keyword to specify a string containing the name of the event handling
procedure for the new button. The specified event handling procedure is called when
the new button is selected. If the MENU keyword is set, the EVENT_PRO keyword
is not required.
MENU (optional)
Set this optional keyword to indicate the new button is a pull-down menu (parent
button). You are not required to specify a value for the UVALUE keyword if the
MENU keyword is set. By default, the MENU keyword is not set (MENU = 0).
POSITION (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify the location of the new button relative to the
reference button, which is specified with the REF_VALUE keyword.
Note
A new button cannot be added after the Exit option in the File pull-down menu of
the ENVI main menu.
239
If the new button is a sibling (/SIBLING) to the reference button, then the position
can be set to one of the following values:
before a string value indicating the new button is placed just before the
reference button.
after a string value indicating the new button is placed just after the
reference button.
negative number a long integer indicating the new button is placed a

relative distance (determined by the number specified) before the reference
button. Zero is not a valid number in this case. For example, a value of 1 is
equivalent to a value of before. A value of 2 places the new button before
the reference button and with one sibling between the new and the reference
button.
positive number a long integer indicating the new button is placed a relative
distance (determined by the number specified) after the reference button. Zero
is not a valid number in this case. A value of +1 is equivalent to a value of
after. A value of +2 places the new button after the reference button and
with one sibling between the new and the reference button.
If the new button is a child of the reference button (SIBLING = 0, its default setting),
then the POSITION keyword can be set to one of the following values:
first a string value indicating the new button is placed as the first
child.
last a string value indicating the new button is placed as the last child.
negative one, zero, or a positive number a long integer indicating the index
(determined by the number specified) of the child button relative to it parent.
For example, a value of zero (POSITION = 0) represents the first child, a value
of one (POSITION = 1) represents the second child, and so forth. A value of
negative one (POSITION = 1) is equivalent to last, which places the new
button as the last child (no matter how many children already exist).
The default value for the POSITION keyword is after (POSITION = after)
for a sibling button and last (POSITION = last) for a child button.
REF_INDEX (optional)
Use this optional keyword to indicate the index of the button used as a reference if the
name specified for the REF_VALUE keyword is not unique. For example, the
Preprocessing option appears in two places in the ENVI menu system, in the Basic
Tools and the Spectral pull-down menus. The index value is based on the sequential
order of the button names in the envi.men file. An index of zero (REF_INDEX = 0)
240
represents the first instance in the file, an index of one (REF_INDEX = 1) represents
the second instance, and so forth. If the value specified for REF_INDEX is greater
than the number of instances in the file, the first instance of the button is used as the
reference button. The default value for the REF_INDEX keyword is zero
(REF_INDEX = 0).
REF_UVALUE (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a reference button by its user-defined value.
Note
Specifying an existing ENVI button name with the REF_VALUE keyword may not
always produce a match because you can edit the envi.men file and it may have
been changed for a given installation (for example, when translating the button
names into a different language). However, a user-defined value for this button does
not change. The REF_UVALUE keyword enables you to specify this user-defined
value so it can be used as a backup for the REF_VALUE when it does not match
any existing buttons. However, the REF_UVALUE keyword does not work for pulldown menus (parent buttons) because these menus do not produce events.
REF_VALUE
Use this keyword to specify a string containing the name of the reference button,
which is already located in the ENVI menu system.
SEPARATOR (optional)
Set this optional keyword to place a separator before the new button. By default, the
SEPARATOR keyword is not set (SEPARATOR = 0). To place the separator after the
new button, set the SEPARATOR keyword to 1 (SEPARATOR = 1).
SIBLING (optional)
Set this optional keyword to indicate the new button is a sibling of the reference
button, which is specified with the REF_VALUE keyword. By default, a new button
is a child of the reference button unless the SIBLING keyword is set. However, if the
reference button is not a pull-down menu (parent button), you do not need set this
keyword because the new button is always a sibling to that reference button.
UVALUE
Use this keyword to specify a user-defined string containing any useful information
you may want to maintain about the new button. This string is passed to the event
241
handling procedure for the new button. If the MENU keyword is set, you are not
required to specify a value for the UVALUE keyword.
Note
In general, the user-defined value of a widget can be of any type, but for this
procedure, the value for the UVALUE keyword must be a string.
VALUE
Use this keyword to specify a string containing the name of the new button you want
to create. The name specified for the VALUE keyword is also used as the label for the
new button.
Examples
The following examples are for a fictitious file named my_process.pro.
Example 1
The first example adds four new buttons. The My Menu pull-down menu (parent
button) is placed in the top level of the ENVI menu system just after the Basic Tools
pull-down menu and just before the Classification pull-down menu. This new My
Menu menu contains three children (Option 1, Option 2, and Option 3).

242

REF_VALUE = My Menu, POSITION = last, /SEPARATOR
END
Example 2
The previous example used string values for the POSITION keyword. This example
creates the same buttons, but uses integer values for the POSITION keyword.
ENVI_DEFINE_MENU_BUTTON, buttonInfo, VALUE = My Menu, $
/MENU, REF_VALUE = File, /SIBLING, POSITION = 2
REF_VALUE = My Menu, POSITION = 0
REF_VALUE = Option 2, REF_UVALUE = option 1, POSITION = -1

Example 3
The following example shows how to add some new buttons as children to the
Preprocessing pull-down menus in both the Basic Tools and Spectral menus.
ENVI_DEFINE_MENU_BUTTON, buttonInfo, VALUE = New Tools, $
/MENU, REF_VALUE = Preprocessing, REF_INDEX = 0, $

ENVI_DEFINE_ROI
Use this procedure to define objects in a Region of Interest (ROI). An ROI is defined
by point, polyline, and polygon objects. Each ROI can be composed of multiple
and/or mixed objects. For example, a single ROI may have 100 individual points and
three polygons. Using a ROI_ID returned from ENVI_CREATE_ROI, each call to
ENVI_DEFINE_ROI will add one object to the ROI definition (multiple points may
be added with a single call). Once an ROI is created, it can be used in processing
routines, or saved to an ROI file.
Syntax
ENVI_DEFINE_ROI, Roi_id
Arguments
ROI_id
ROI_Id is a single ID returned from the function ENVI_CREATE_ROI or
ENVI_GET_ROI_IDS.
Keywords
NO_UPDATE (optional)

ENVI_DOIT
The ENVI_DOIT routine is the interface for all of the ENVI processing routines (the
_DOIT routines). Each _DOIT is a string argument to ENVI_DOIT with the specific
keywords following the _DOIT argument. For example, the call to CLASS_DOIT is
ENVI_DOIT, CLASS_DOIT, . [CLASS_DOIT keywords].
Syntax
ENVI_DOIT, Routine_Name
Arguments
Routine_Name
Routine_Name is a string variable specifying the processing routine to execute. ENVI
commonly refers to the processing routines as the doit. Many of the internal ENVI
processing routines are available to the programmer in batch mode. The value of
Routine_Name should be any valid _DOIT routine in ENVI. Keywords specific to
Routine_Name can be found under the description for the specific routine.
Keywords
NO_CATCH (optional)
Set this optional keyword to disable the ENVI catch mechanism. The ENVI catch
provides a generalized mechanism for handling exceptions and errors. By disabling
the ENVI catch mechanism, the user then has the option to add their own catch
mechanism. If no catch mechanism is used and an error occurs, ENVI will let the
program stop execution, print an error message, and revert control to the command
line. The ENVI session (interactive or batch) must be continued manually from the
command line. See the CATCH routine to add a user-defined catch mechanism. This
keyword is used only with the routine ENVI_DOIT.
NO_REALIZE (optional)
Set this optional keyword to prevent the Available Bands List from being displayed if
a new output file is created at the end of the Routine_Name process.
Note
If the Available Bands List is already realized, this keyword has no effect.
ENVI_DOIT
255
Note
Some processing routines (such as ENVI_STATS_DOIT) produce dialogs, but do
not produce output files. The NO_REALIZE keyword only applies to cases
resulting in an output file; otherwise, this keyword is ignored.
Routine_Name Keywords
Keywords specific to Routine_Name are found under the description for the routine.
Example
The following example will run statistics on bhtmref.img. This example uses the
following files found in the data directory of the ENVI installation:
bhtmref.img
bhtmref.hdr
First, ENVI is initialized in batch mode and the batch log file is set to batch.txt.
Next, the file bmtmref.img is opened and ENVI_STATS_DOIT is used to perform
basic statistical calculations. The routine ENVI_STATS_DOIT is the string argument
to ENVI_DOIT. The keywords to ENVI_STATS_DOIT are listed in the call to
ENVI_DOIT. After the statistics are completed, the mean value is printed.

ENVI_EVF_CLOSE
Use this routine to close an ENVI Vector File (EVF). After an EVF file is opened (or
created), it is important to close it using this routine in order to help conserve the IDL
sessions memory.
Syntax
ENVI_EVF_CLOSE, evf_id
Arguments
Evf_id
The EVF ID for the EVF file to be closed. The EVF ID is returned from either
ENVI_EVF_OPEN (for existing EVF files) or ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_CLOSE (for
newly created EVF files).
Example
pro print_evf_record_info
;
; Open the EVF file can_v1.evf in the
; ENVI_Install_Directory/data/vector
;
evf_fname = can_v1.evf
evf_id = envi_evf_open(evf_fname)
;
; Get the vector information
;

ENVI_EVF_INFO
ENVI_EVF_CLOSE
271
Use this routine to add a record to a new ENVI Vector File (EVF). The new EVF file
must be initialized using ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_INIT.
ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_ADD_RECORD accepts points, polylines, and polygon
records. After all records are defined, close the EVF file with
ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_CLOSE. The EVF ID returned from
ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_CLOSE can then be used to access the new vectors.
Syntax
ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_ADD_RECORD, Evf_ptr, Points
Arguments
Evf_ptr
The pointer to the new EVF file being created that is returned from
ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_INIT.
Note
The evf_ptr pointer is not the same as an ordinary EVF ID.
Points
A 2 column array of XY points that define the vector record being added to the EVF
file. A point record consists of a single XY pair, a polyline record consists of multiple
XY pairs, and a polygon record is a polyline with the first and last points the same.
Points is an array of (2,npts) where [0,*] are the X points and [1,*] are the Y points.
The data type of the XY pairs (or nodes) that define the vector record will
automatically be converted into the data type of the EVF file that was defined in the
call to ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_INIT.
Tip
For points in a Geographic Lat/Lon Projection, remember to arrange the points
vector as [Longitude, Latitude] to conform to the XY order.

ENVI_WRITE_DBF_FILE
279
Use this function to initialize a new ENVI Vector File (EVF). This is a required first
step in defining a new EVF. This function returns a pointer to the new EVF file that
should be used when adding vector records to the file (using
ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_ADD_RECORD) and when completing the new file
definition (using ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_CLOSE). The function allows specification
of an output filename, layer name, data type and projection.
Note
The EVF pointer returned by this function is not the same as an ordinary EVF ID.
When creating a new EVF file, the EVF ID is returned only when the file definition
is completed with the call to ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_CLOSE.
Syntax
Result = ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_INIT(Filename)
Arguments
Filename
A string value that specifies an output file name for the EVF.
Keywords
Use this keyword to specify the ENVI data type of the file. DATA_TYPE uses the
following IDL convention:
1 byte (8-bits)
2 integer (16-bits)
280
If DATA_TYPE is not set, double precision (5) is used.
LAYER_NAME (optional)
Use this keyword to specify a single string name for the EVF layer. Each EVF file
consists of only a single layer. If LAYER_NAME is not set the default is to use New
Layer.
PROJECTION (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a map projection. PROJECTION is a projection
structure returned from ENVI_GET_PROJECTION or ENVI_PROJ_CREATE. If
PROJECTION is not set, the default is an Arbitrary projection.

ENVI_EVF_OPEN
290
This new batch routine enables you to output ENVI vector files (EVF) to ArcView
shapefile formats. The shapefile format consists of files with .shp, .shx, and .dbf
extensions.
A single EVF file may contain points, polylines, polygons and/or multi-point records
all in the same file. A shapefile, on the other hand, may only contain one record type
per file. If the EVF file contains only a single type of record, then the resulting
shapefile output from ENVI_EVF_TO_SHAPEFILE consists of three files:
rootname.shp,
rootname.shx,
rootname.dbf,
where rootname is the output_shapefile_rootname argument string.

If the EVF file specified by the evf_id argument contains multiple record types, then
the output of ENVI_EVF_TO_SHAPEFILE is a separate shapefile for each record
type. For instance, if an EVF has any point, polyline, polygon, or multipoint records,
the resulting files for a shapefile named rootname are:
rootname_point.shp
for point records
rootname_polyline.shp
for polyline records
rootname_polygon.shp
for polygon records
rootname_multipoint.shp
for multipoint records
If the EVF file contains associated attributes, these attributes are contained in the
rootname.dbf file. However, if there are no attributes, a dummy record ID column
is used.
Syntax
ENVI_EVF_TO_SHAPEFILE, evf_id, output_shapefile_rootname
Arguments
evf_id
The EVF file ID returned from ENVI_EVF_OPEN.
291
Note
The evf_id argument may be an array of IDs as long as output_shapefile_rootname
is a string array of the same number of elements. There must be one output root
name per evf_id.
output_shapefile_rootname
The string root name for the resulting shapefiles. Because the shapefile output
consists of multiple files with specific extensions, there is no need to include the
.shp extension as part of this string.
Warning
Because EVF files also use a *.dbf file to store attributes, the output shapefile
name must be different than the name of the EVF file. In other words, if an EVF is
named foo.evf, then the output_shapefile_rootname argument should not be foo
if the two formats (.evf, .shp) are to reside in the same directory.

no header exists then the standard ENVI widget for entering file header information
appears, the user enters the pertinent information, and execution of the function is
continued by clicking on the Accept button.
Syntax
ENVI_FILE_QUERY, Fid
Arguments
Fid
the ENVI_OPEN_FILE procedure. Fid is a long integer with a value greater than
zero. An invalid file ID is specified as -1.
Keywords
BBL (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a named variable that will contain an array of
ones and zeros representing the bad band list. A 1 represents a good band and a 0
represents a bad band. If no bad bands list is available for the data, the value 1 is
returned. Otherwise, the number of elements of BBL is equal to the number of bands,
NB.
BNAMES (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a named variable that will contain the band
names associated with each band.
BYTE_SWAP (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a named variable that will contain the byte swap
value for the data. If BYTE_SWAP is set, then the byte order of the data specified by
FID is different than the current processor. User specified spatial and spectral read
routines will need to BYTEORDER the data after reading from disk.
ENVI_FILE_QUERY

ENVI_FILE_TYPE
ENVI files may conform to any of a range of different file types. This function
returns a file type descriptor. All ENVI files that require special display or input
processing have a unique file type (Meta File, Virtual Mosaic, Classification, Spectral
Library, FFT Result). Any external file that requires an input read routine also has a
designated file type.
Syntax
Result = ENVI_FILE_TYPE(File_type)
Arguments
File_type
File_type can be either an integer or a string.
If File_type is an integer, it is the value for file type as returned by

ENVI_FILE_QUERY. In this case, the returned value is a string.
If File_type is a string, the function returns an arbitrarily assigned integer

which can be used in routines such as ENVI_SETUP_HEAD or
ENVI_ENTER_DATA.
The file types and string descriptors are found in Table 12-3. File_type string
descriptors are case-sensitive and may contain spaces.

Example
This example will open a file, determine its spatial size, and request that all of the
data for the first band be stored in the variable DATA. The routine
ENVI_OPEN_FILE is used to programmatically open the desired file. Subsequent
references to this file will use the file ID returned in the keyword R_FID. Once the
file is open ENVI_FILE_QUERY is used to determine the number of samples and
number of lines. The samples and lines are used to set the DIMS keyword for the
function ENVI_GET_DATA. A call to ENVI_GET_DATA with the full band
specified by DIMS and the first band specified by POS returns all image data for the
first band in a Samples-by-Lines 2-D array.

ENVI_GET_ROI
This function is used to get the address of each point in a Region of Interest (ROI).
ENVI_GET_ROI returns the ROI pointers associated with the input ID. ROI
addresses are a one dimensional spatial address. The address of a ROI pixel at
(r_sample, r_line) would be calculated as, r_sample + r_line * ns.
Syntax

Arguments
ROI_Id
Keywords
ADDR (optional)

addresses are returned from the routine ENVI_GET_ROI. The returned data values
match the corresponding input address.
FID
POS
Use this keyword to specify the band position(s) to get ROI data for. If POS is a
single element the result is Result(npts) otherwise the result is
Result(n_elements(pos), npts).
Example

data = envi_get_roi_data(roi_id[0], fid=fid, pos=[0,1,2])
ENVI_GET_ROI_DATA
333
Notes
If you have a large ROI and many bands in the POS array then the memory
requirements may exceed the capacity of your machine. One way to break up the
problem is to request fewer band in the POS array, processes the data, and then get
the ROI for the next set of bands. To minimize memory usage only request one band
at a time and then loop on the number of bands.
The order of ROI locations within the returned array ADDR can be different for the
case where ENVI_GET_ROI_DATA ( ) is called with POS set to more than one
band. ADDR will match the order of the data in the returned array in either case (i.e.
DATA[0] will have come from location ADDR[0]). But the order of ADDR can be
different for each case (i.e. dont expect that ADDR1 will match ADDR2 for the two
calls to ENVI_GET_ROI_DATA ( ) where the first case uses POS= [0], and the
second case uses POS= [0,1,2]).

This routine returns an ENVI map information structure for any of the supported map
projections (see Appendix D, ENVI Map Projections in the ENVI Users Guide).
Arbitrary, Geographic, UTM and State Plane map information structures use their
corresponding keyword. All other projections use the PROJ keyword to define the
associated projection. Projections can be defined using ENVI_PROJ_CREATE.
Using the optional keywords you can define the datum, name, units, projection
parameters, pixel size, rotation, and the map coordinate. The result of this routine can
be used for functions that require an input MAP_INFO structure. For example, to
georeference an image, ENVI_SETUP_HEAD requires an input MAP_INFO
structure.
Note
This routine should be used instead of accessing the map information structure
directly.
Syntax
Result = ENVI_MAP_INFO_CREATE()
Keywords
ARBITRARY (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that an Arbitrary projection for the map information is
created. Set the keyword MAP_BASED to create a map based projection. The default
is non map based projection. A map-based projection uses the lower left corner of the
image as the projection origin, while a pixel-based projection (non-map based) uses
the upper left corner as the origin.
DATUM (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the datum for the map information projection. The
default for Geographic is WGS-84 and the default for UTM and State Plane is North
America 1927. All other projections default to no datum. The exact name that ENVI
uses for each datum is listed in the datum.txt file in the map_proj directory of
your ENVI installation.
371
GEOGRAPHIC (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that a Geographic projection for the map information is
created.
MAP_BASED (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that the Arbitrary projection should be interpreted as map
based. This keyword does not have any effect for other projections.
MC
Set this keyword to specify the map location tie point. The tie point is the reference
point for a pixel at a known map coordinate. MC is a four elements double precision
array where
mc(0) is the X pixel location corresponding to the X map location, mc(2)
mc(1) is the Y pixel location corresponding to the Y map location, mc(3)
mc(2) is the X map location corresponding to the X pixel location, mc(0)
mc(3) is the Y map location corresponding to the Y pixel location, mc(1)
NAME (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the name of the map information projection. NAME is a
string variable
PARAMS (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the parameters for the map information projection.
PARAMS is a double array with 1 to 15 elements. The number of elements of
PARAMS is determined by the projection type (see the TYPE keyword). PARAMS is
not used with Arbitrary, Geographic, State Plane, or UTM projections. See the ENVI
Map Projections Appendix in the Users Guide for a full list of the projection type and
their corresponding projection parameters. The PARAMS keyword must contain all
projection parameters listed in the ENVI Map Projections Appendix (for the
specified projection) except the datum and name. The datum and name are specified
using the DATUM and NAME keywords, respectively.
PROJ (optional)
Set this optional keyword to specify the projection for the map information. PROJ is
an ENVI projection structure returned from ENVI_PROJ_CREATE or
ENVI_GET_PROJECTION. PROJ is not needed if the keyword ARBITRARY,
372
GEOGRAPHIC, STATE_PLANE, or UTM is used. For all other projections, either

set the PROJ keyword or define the projection using the keywords DATUM, NAME,
PARAMS, SOUTH, TYPE, UNITS, and ZONE.
PS
Set this keyword to specify the pixel size of the image. PS is a two element double
precision array where
ps(0) is the X pixel size
ps(1) is the Y pixel size
ROTATION (optional)
Set this keyword to specify the rotation of the image in the defined projection.
Rotation is expressed in degrees clockwise from North.
SOUTH (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that the UTM projection is in the southern hemisphere.
STATE_PLANE (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that a State Plane projection for the map information is
created.
TYPE (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the map information projection type. TYPE is an integer
value corresponding to the projection type. See the ENVI Map Projections Appendix
in the Users Guide for a full list of the projection types and their corresponding
projection value.
UNITS (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the projection units. UNITS is an integer value indicating
the projection units. The function ENVI_TRANSLATE_PROJECTION_UNITS will
convert projection unit strings to integer values. The default UNITS are Degrees for
Geographic, Feet for State Plane and Meters for all other projections.
UTM (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that a UTM projection for the map information is created.
373
ZONE (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the UTM or State Plane zone number. ZONE is only
used for UTM and State Plane projections.
Example
This example creates a Geographic map information structure with a Geographic
projection, default datum of WGS-84, default units of Degrees, and a pixel size of
one second (1. / 3600). Set the map tie point for the center of the first pixel (.5,.5) to
34.5 degrees North and 117.4 degrees West. This is one of the simplest uses of
ENVI_MAP_INFO_CREATE.
;
; Set the pixel size and map tie point
;
ps = [1D/3600, 1D/3600]
mc = [0D, 0, -117.4, 34.5]
;
; Create the map information
;
map_info = envi_map_info_create(/geographic, $
mc=mc, ps=ps)
This example creates map information for a UTM projection zone 23 South with
units of kilometers and a North America 1983 datum. Set the map tie point for the
upper left corner of the first pixel to 8339330 North and 177246 East. We use the
keywords to ENVI_MAP_INFO_CREATE instead of first creating a projection
structure and then using the PROJ keyword.
;
; First convert the kilometers to its integer representation
; using ENVI_TRANSLATE_PROJECTION_UNITS
;
units = ENVI_TRANSLATE_PROJECTION_UNITS(km)
; Set the datum and map tie points
;
datum = North America 1983
mc = [0D, 0, 177246, 8339330]
ps=[30, 30]
;
; Now create the UTM map information
;
map_info = ENVI_MAP_INFO_CREATE(/UTM, ZONE=23, /SOUT, $
DATUM = datum, UNITS = units, MC = mc, PS = ps)

ENVI_PROJ_CREATE
Use this routine to create an ENVI projection structure for any of the supported
projections, see Appendix D, ENVI Map Projections in the ENVI Users Guide.
Using the optional keywords you can define the datum, name, units, and projection
parameters. Additional keywords allow the definition with common defaults for the
Arbitrary, Geographic, State Plane and UTM projections. This routine should be used
instead of accessing the projection structure directly.
Syntax
Result = ENVI_PROJ_CREATE( )
Keywords
ARBITRARY (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that an Arbitrary projection is created. Set the keyword
MAP_BASED to create a map based projection. The default is non map based
projection. A map-based projection uses the lower left corner of the image as the
projection origin, while a pixel-based projection (non-map based) uses the upper left
corner as the origin.
DATUM (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the datum for the projection. The default for Geographic
is WGS-84 and the default for UTM and State Plane is North America 1927. All
other projections default to no datum. The exact name that ENVI uses for each datum
is listed in the datum.txt file in the map_proj directory of the ENVI installation.
GEOGRAPHIC (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that a Geographic projection is created.
MAP_BASED (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that the Arbitrary projection should be interpreted as map
based. This keyword does not have any effect for other projections.
ENVI_PROJ_CREATE
404
NAME (optional)
Use this keyword to specify a user defined name for the projection. NAME is a string
variable. The actual projection type is not determined by the value of NAME
instead the projection type is determined by the keyword TYPE, ARBITRARY,
GEOGRAPHIC, STATE_PLANE, or UTM.
PARAMS (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the parameters for the projection. PARAMS is a double
array with 1 to 15 elements. The number of elements of PARAMS is determined by
the projection type (see the TYPE keyword).
PARAMS is not used with Arbitrary, Geographic, State Plane, or UTM projections.
See Appendix D, ENVI Map Projections in the ENVI Users Guide for a full list of
the projection types and their corresponding projection parameters. The PARAMS
keyword must contain all projection parameters listed in the ENVI Map Projections
Appendix (for the specified projection) except the datum and name. See the example
below for an explanation of some common projection parameters. The datum and
name are specified using the DATUM and NAME keywords, respectively.
SOUTH (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that the UTM projection is in the southern hemisphere.
STATE_PLANE (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that a State Plane projection is created.
TYPE (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the projection type. TYPE is an integer value
corresponding to the projection type. See the ENVI Map Projections Appendix in the
Users Guide for a full list of the projection types and their corresponding projection
value.
UNITS (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the projection units. UNITS is an integer value indicating
the projection units. The function ENVI_TRANSLATE_PROJECTION_UNITS will
convert projection unit strings to integer values. The default UNITS are Degrees for
Geographic, Feet for State Plane and Meters for all other projections.
ENVI_PROJ_CREATE
405
UTM (optional)
Set this keyword to specify that a UTM projection is created.
ZONE (optional)
Use this keyword to specify the UTM or State Plane zone number. ZONE is only
used for UTM and State Plane projections.
Example
This example creates a geographic projection with default values for the datum
(WGS-84), name (Geographic Lat/Lon), and the units (Degrees). This is one of the
simplest uses of ENVI_PROJ_CREATE.
proj = ENVI_PROJ_CREATE(/geographic)
This example creates a UTM projection for zone 23 South using the North America
1983 datum. The projection will have units of kilometers.
;
; First convert the kilometers to its integer representation
; using ENVI_TRANSLATE_PROJECTION_UNITS and set
; the datum
;
units = ENVI_TRANSLATE_PROJECTION_UNITS(km)
datum = North America 1983
;
; Now create the UTM projection
;
Proj = ENVI_PROJ_CREATE(/utm, zone=23, /south, $
datum=datum, units=units)
This example creates a Transverse Mercator projection. Using the information in

Appendix D, ENVI Map Projections in the ENVI Users Guide, we see that this
projection, ENVI projection type 3, requires the following parameter:
a, b, lat0, lon0, x0, y0, and k0
where
a - the equatorial radius (semi-major axis)
b - the polar radius (semi-minor axis)
lat0 - Latitude of origin of projection
lon0 - Longitude of central meridian
x0 - False easting
y0 - False Northing
k0 - Scale factor at central meridian
ENVI_PROJ_CREATE
406
The actual values for the parameters are based on the projection being defined. In this
example, the datum uses the Australian National ellipsoid which provides the values
for a and b. The Latitude of Origin is 0.0 degrees and the Longitude of Central
Meridian is 99 degrees. The false Northing and Easting are 10000000 and 500000,
respectively. The Scale factor is set to .9996. In addition to these parameters, this
projection will use the Australian Geodetic 1966 datum and have the name Australian
Map Grid (AGD 66) Zone 47. We will also use the default of meters for the map
units.

ENVI_SELECT
This procedure provides the standard ENVI File Selection dialog for selecting data
files open in the current ENVI session. In its default form the dialog allows the
selection of a file or band with an option for spatial and spectral subsetting. However,
the dialog has a number of keywords that allow precise control over the options
allowed during the data selection.
Once the dialog is started, the remaining ENVI session is modal until the OK or
Cancel button is selected. If the OK button is selected the value returned in the FID
is the file ID of the selected data. This FID value is used in subsequent ENVI routines
and is the link to the selected file.

Syntax
ENVI_SELECT
Keywords
BAND_ONLY (optional)
Set this optional keyword to disable selection of files using the Input File toggle
button and to only allow band selection.
DIMS (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a named variable that will contain a fiveelement array holding the data dimensions.The elements are defined as follows:
ENVI_SELECT
DIMS[0]: a pointer to the ROI (set to -1 if no ROI is selected).
DIMS[1]: the starting X coordinate.
DIMS[2]: the ending X coordinate.
DIMS[3]: the starting Y coordinate.
DIMS[4]: the ending Y coordinate.
449
FID (optional)
Use this keyword to specify a named variable that will contain the file ID of the
selected file when the OK button is selected. If FID[0] = -1, the Cancel button was
selected and the user should take the appropriate action.
FILE_ONLY (optional)
Set this optional keyword to disable selection of single bands using the Input band
toggle button and only allow file selection.
Set this optional keyword to an integer value specifying the allowable file type. Only
files with matching types are considered valid. See ENVI_FILE_TYPE on
page 301 for details on how to determine the integer value of a file type.
MASK (optional)
Set this optional keyword to allow selection of a mask.
M_FID (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a named variable that will contain the file ID of
the selected mask file. To enable mask selection the keyword MASK must be set.
M_POS (optional)
position of the selected mask. To enable mask selection the keyword MASK must be
set.
NO_DIMS (optional)
Set this optional keyword to disable spatial subsetting.
NO_SPEC (optional)
Set this optional keyword to disable spectral subsetting.
ENVI_SELECT
450
POS (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a named variable that will contain an array
holding the bands selected.
ROI (optional)
Set this optional keyword to allow Region of Interest (ROI) subsetting. If selection is
subset by ROI then DIMS[0] contains the roi pointer.
TITLE (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify the string used in the title bar of the File
Selection dialog window. Enter the title enclosed in single quotes.
Example
This example shows how to select a file or band and return the FID, DIMS, and POS
information. This is typically the simplest use of ENVI _SELECT. In addition, if the
Cancel button is selected (e.g., FID[0] = -1), then return from the current user
procedure.
ENVI_SELECT, fid=fid,dims=dims,pos=pos
if (fid[0] eq -1) then return
The following example will allow selection of a single classification band with no
spatial subset. The FILE_TYPE keyword set to Classification only allows selection
of a classification band and issues a warning on attempts to select non-classification
data. The FILE_TYPE keyword can be used with any of the 20+ types and not just
classification images. The BAND_ONLY and NO_DIMS keywords control the
additional limitation of only allowing a single band with no spatial subset. The
returned file ID and band number are retrieved with the FID and POS keywords,
respectively. In addition, if the Cancel button is selected (e.g., FID[0] = -1), then
return from the current user procedure. Finally, use the TITLE keyword to set the
dialog title bar to Classification Input File.

Because additional sensor types are likely to be added in future releases of ENVI, it
is strongly recommended that you use string descriptors rather than integer
descriptors when referencing sensor types. See the example below for details.
Keywords
None
ENVI_SENSOR_TYPE
454
Example
The following example prints the sensor type string for the file associated with the
file ID FID. The first command stores the integer file type descriptor in the variable
SENSOR_TYPE:
envi_file_query, fid, sensor_type=sensor_type
The next line stores the string sensor type descriptor in the variable type_string:
type_string = envi_sensor_type(sensor_type)
print, type_string
The following example enters the array DATA into ENVI and sets the sensor type to
SPOT. The first line gets the integer sensor type for SPOT. The second line enters the
data and sets the SENSOR_TYPE corresponding to SPOT.
sensor_type = envi_sensor_type(SPOT)

Use this routine to return the ENVI inheritance structure. ENVI inheritance allows a
newly created ENVI file to automatically inherit properties from the original data.
The result of this function is used to set the INHERIT keyword to the
ENVI_SETUP_HEAD or ENVI_ENTER_DATA routines. Inheritance has three
options, FULL, SPATIAL or SPECTRAL. The FULL keyword inherits all spatial,
spectral and other information from the original file. In addition, the FULL keyword
can be used with the NO_SPATIAL keyword to inhibit inheritance of spatial
information. The SPATIAL keyword inherits only the spatial information from the
original file and the SPECTRAL keyword inherits only the spectral information from
the original file. See the keyword definitions for more information.
This routine should be used instead of directly accessing the inherit structure.
Syntax
Result = ENVI_SET_INHERITANCE (Fid, Dims [,Pos])
Arguments
Fid
Use this argument to specify the file ID to inherit information from. The value of FID
should be the file ID of the original data used to generate the new output image. This
is the value returned from the keyword R_FID in the ENVI_OPEN_FILE procedure
or the FID keyword to ENVI_SELECT. FID is a long integer with a value greater
than zero. An invalid file ID is specified as -1.
Dims
Use this argument to specify the spatial dimensions to inherit information from. The
value of Dims should be the values used to compute the new output bands. Dims is a
five-element array of long integers with the following definitions:
Dims[0]: Unused for this function, set to -1.

ENVI_WRITE_DBF_FILE
Use this routine to write a DBF attribute file for an ENVI Vector File (EVF).
Attributes are used to describe each record in an EVF file. There must be a one-toone correspondence between number of EVF records (i.e., points, polylines, and
polygons) and the number of DBF records. The fields in an attribute record are a mix
of numbers (byte, integer, long and floating point) and strings. All attribute records in
a single DBF file must have the same field structure (i.e., an array of identical
structures).
Syntax
ENVI_WRITE_DBF_FILE, Filename, Attributes
Arguments
Filename
A string value that specifies the output DBF file name. For ENVI to recognize the
attribute table when reading the EVF file, the filename should consist of the root
name that matches the corresponding EVF file with a .DBF extension.
Attributes
The attributes are defined using an IDL anonymous structure variable. Each attribute
is a field within the structure. The structure tag names are used as the attribute field
names (the maximum field name length is 11 characters). There can be any number of
attribute fields comprised of numbers (byte, integer, long and floating point) and
strings. The structure should be replicated into an array with the same number of
elements as there are records in the corresponding EVF file.

generated on PC x86). The default is the byte order of the machine.
Use this optional keyword to specify a string array of class names for classification
images. The first element (class 0) is the Unclassified class. CLASS_NAMES
should only be specified if the result is a classification image. CLASS_NAMES is a
required keyword if the file type is equal to classification, otherwise, it is optional.
COMPRESSION (optional)
Set this optional keyword to write the file using the standard GZIP format. IDLs
GZIP support is based on the freely available ZLIB library version 1.1.3 by Mark

convention:
1 byte (8-bits)
2 integer (16-bits)
DEF_BANDS (optional)
Set this optional keyword to a 1- or 3-element array containing which bands to
display upon opening the file in ENVI. If DEF_BANDS is set to a 1-element array,
then ENVI will load a grayscale display. If DEF_BANDS is set to a 3-element array,
518
ENVI will load an RGB display. The values are 0-based, so to load bands 4, 3, and 2
of a 7-band image, set DEF_BANDS = [3,2,1].
Use this optional keyword to specify the default contrast stretch to be used whenever
the image is displayed. Set DEF_STRETCH equal to the value returned from
DESCRIP (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a text description of the data or of the type of
file type value. See ENVI_FILE_TYPE for details on how to determine the integer
file type value.

The default image is Power. Only set this keyword if the IDL data type of the image
is 6 = complex (2 x 32-bit) or 9 = double-precision complex (2 x 64-bit)
FWHM (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify an array of full-width-half-maximum responses
for each band. The number of elements in this array is equal to the number of bands
in the image.
519
Use this optional keyword to specify a 16-element precision floating point double
array of geographic coordinates for the four corners. The array is comprised of four
groups of X and Y pixel locations and the corresponding latitude and longitude
values (negative for South latitude and negative for West longitude). The four groups
of points represent the four corners: upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right.
The array is defined as follows
GEO_POINTS[0:3] -> [X, Y, LAT, LON] - upper left
GEO_POINTS[4:7] -> [X, Y, LAT, LON] - upper right
GEO_POINTS[8:11] -> [X, Y, LAT, LON] - lower left
GEO_POINTS[12:15] -> [X, Y, LAT, LON] - lower right
Set this optional keyword to specify that output should be stored in memory. If
IN_MEMORY is not set, output will be stored on disk, and OUT_NAME must be
specified.
INFO (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify user defined information. INFO is used to store
retrieved from ENVI_FILE_QUERY using the keyword H_INFO which is a handle
to the data. Use HANDLE_VALUE and the handle H_INFO to retrieve INFO.
INHERIT (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify the file's interleave type. Set to zero to create the
file in BSQ format, to one to create the file in BIL format, and to two to create the file
in BIP format. The default is zero, BSQ format.
LOOKUP (optional)
Use this optional keyword to specify a long array of class RGB values. The
LOOKUP array contains one RGB triple for each class specified with the

Use this optional keyword to specify the number of classes for classification files.
Remember to include the Unclassified class (class 0) in the number of classes. This
keyword should only be specified for classification files.
NO_COPY (optional)
Set this optional keyword to prohibit duplicating the Data array on output. If the
keyword is set, the Data argument array is incorporated into the ENVI session
directly, rendering the variable Data undefined after the call to ENVI_WRITE_FILE.
The default is to make a copy of the data.
NO_OPEN (optional)
Set this optional keyword to prohibit the addition of the file to the Available Bands
List. The default is to add the output file to the Available Bands List.
NO_WRITE (optional)
Set this optional keyword to prohibit writing an output header file to disk. The default
is to write an output header. It is possible (and valid) to add a file to the Available
Bands List and not write the header file to disk. If you set the NO_WRITE keyword
you will have to manually specify the file parameters when you open the file in a later
ENVI session. The keyword has no effect when the IN_MEMORY keyword is set.
521
OFFSET
Use this keyword to specify the offset (in bytes) to the start of the data in the file.
OUT_DT (optional)

Use this procedure to write/re-write an ENVI header file to preserve changes to user
defined header values. Once an ENVI file is open the user header values may be
changed programmatically using ENVI_ASSIGN_HEADER_VALUE. To preserve
these changes to files that reside on disk you must also write out the updated ENVI
header using ENVI_WRITE_FILE_HEADER.
Syntax
ENVI_WRITE_FILE_HEADER, Fid
Arguments
Fid
Example
ENVI_OPEN_FILE routine. Once the file is open and a valid file ID is returned a
ENVI_ASSIGN_HEADER_VALUE. The change is then queried using
ENVI_GET_HEADER_VALUE and the result printed to the ENVI log window. At
this point the header change exists only in the current ENVI session. In order to
preserve this change to the disk file the routine ENVI_WRITE_FILE_HEADER is
called to write an updated header to disk.

HANDLE_VALUE
The HANDLE_VALUE procedure returns or sets the value of an existing handle.
Syntax
HANDLE_VALUE, ID, Value
Arguments
ID
A valid handle ID.
Value
When using HANDLE_VALUE to return an existing handle value (the default),
Value is a named variable in which the value is returned.
When using HANDLE_VALUE to set a handle value, Value is the new value. Note
that handle values can have any IDL data type and organization.
Keywords
NO_COPY
By default, HANDLE_VALUE works by making a second copy of the source data.
Although this technique is fine for small data, it can have a significant memory cost
when the data being copied is large.
If the NO_COPY keyword is set, HANDLE_VALUE works differently. Rather than
copy the source data, it takes the data away from the source and attaches it directly to
the destination. This feature can be used to move data very efficiently. However, it
has the side effect of causing the source variable to become undefined. On a retrieve
operation, the handle value becomes undefined. On a set operation, the variable
passed as Value becomes undefined.
SET
Set this keyword to assign Value as the new handle value. The default is to retrieve
the current handle value.
HANDLE_VALUE
545
Example
The following commands demonstrate the two different uses of HANDLE_VALUE:
; Retrieve the value of handle1 into the variable current.
HANDLE_VALUE, handle1, current
; Set the value of handle1 to a 2-element integer vector.
HANDLE_VALUE,handle1,[2,3],/SET

HIST_EXPORT_DOIT
Use this routine to output an image using a supplied Lookup Table (LUT). A lookup
table is a method of changing input image DN to new output DN. The lookup table is
specified by the LUT keyword. Each input pixel is used to calculate the index into the
LUT, and the corresponding value in the LUT becomes the new output value. The
index into the LUT is calculated from the input data value, the input data minimum
(I_MIN), and the input binsize (I_BINSIZE) by the following formula:
Output value = LUT[(input value - I_MIN) / I_BINSIZE]
Additionally, the output DNs can be adjusted by the desired output minimum and
maximum, which are specified by the keywords O_MIN and O_MAX respectively.

I_BINSIZE + 1
I_BINSIZE
Use this keyword to specify the input binsize. The binsize is the width in DN that a
group of input pixels will map to a single output pixel. For integer data, I_BINSIZE
must be an integer greater than or equal to one; for floating point data, I_BINSIZE
must be greater than zero.
I_MIN

Since we have byte data and we do not want to change the dynamic range of the input
data, we will set the data minimums to zero and the data maximum to 255. We will
use a binsize of 1allowing each input pixel to map to its square root value. The
LUT must have 256 entries and the value of each entry is just the square root of the
index.

MAGIC_MEM_CHECK
MAGIC_MEM_CHECK is a memory management function. It should always be
called before the processing function. It returns a structure containing the tags
IN_MEMORY and OUT_NAME, which are then passed to the processing function
(doit).
If IN_MEMORY is set to zero, OUT_NAME is a string array containing a valid file
name. If IN_MEMORY is set to one, the user wishes to perform the operation in
memory. If IN_MEMORY is set to minus one, the OUT_NAME string may not be a
valid file name.

PIXEL_SIZE
Use this keyword to specify a two-element floating point or double precision array
containing the X and Y pixel sizes, respectively. For pixel-based mosaics set the X
and Y pixel sizes to one: PIXEL_SIZE=[1.,1.]
POS
Use this keyword to specify a long-integer array of band positions to be included in
the mosaic. The dimensions of the array must be [#output bands, #files]. The value of
minus one (-1) in the POS array is used to indicate that no input band for the
associated file is included in the corresponding mosaicked output band. The valid
values for POS are 0 to #number of bands (for the corresponding file) plus the value
of minus one (-1).

SEE_THROUGH_VAL (optional)
Use this optional keyword to set the see-through value for each input file.
SEE_THROUGH_VAL is an array of values with the same data type as OUT_DT
and has [#files] elements. If a pixel in the input file is equal to its corresponding value
of SEE_THROUGH_VAL then that pixel is not transferred to the output mosaic,
which allows data stacked underneath to remain visible. If any elements of the array
USE_SEE_THROUGH are equal to 1 then the SEE_THROUGH_VAL array must
be specified.
USE_SEE_THROUGH
Use this keyword to specify an integer array of zeros and ones indicating whether the
bands from the current file will use the corresponding SEE_THROUGH_VAL value.
A 1 indicates that the input file will use SEE_THROUGH_VAL and a 0 indicates
that SEE_THROUGH_VAL will not be used. The number of elements in the
USE_SEE_THROUGH array is equal to the number of input files specified by FID.
MOSAIC_DOIT
577
XSIZE
Use this keyword to set the X size of the output image (sample direction). For pixelbased mosaics the XSIZE is in pixels and the corresponding pixels size is [1,1]. For
georeferenced images XSIZE is in the same units as PIXEL_SIZE. For example, a 1
Km image in the sample direction would use a pixel size of one meter and a XSIZE
of 1000 meters.
x0
Use this keyword to specify a long-integer array of X starting pixels, one for each
file. x0 is in pixel coordinates and may require the conversion of map locations for
georeferenced image to output pixel locations.
YSIZE
Use this keyword to set the Y size of the output image (line direction). For pixel
based mosaics the YSIZE is in pixels and the corresponding pixel size is [1,1]. For
georeferenced images YSIZE is in the same units as PIXEL_SIZE. For example, a 1
Km image in the line direction would use a pixel size of one meter and a YSIZE of
1000 meters.
y0
Use this keyword to specify a long-integer array of Y starting linesone for each
file. y0 is in pixel coordinates and may require the conversion of map locations for
georeferenced image to output line locations.
Example
This example mosaics the first three bands from bhtmref.img and the single band
bhdemsub.img side by side into the same output image (pixel-based). This example
uses the following files found in the DATA directory of the ENVI installation:
bhtmref.img
bhtmref.hdr
bhtdemsub.img
bhtdemsub.hdr
The single band DEM will only be placed into the first output band while the TM
data will be placed into all three output bands. The data are positioned with a 20-pixel
border around the outside and between each of the images. The actual border area
will vary because the images are not the same size and the DEM image is only in the
MOSAIC_DOIT
578
first output band. We will use the background value of 255 for the border area. Set the
output data type to integer since that is the greater of the two data types. The images
are mosaicked side by side so no see-through is needed, but for illustration purposes
set see-through to zero for each of the input files.

ON_IOERROR
The ON_IOERROR procedure specifies a statement to be jumped to if an I/O error
occurs in the current procedure. Normally, when an I/O error occurs, an error
message is printed and program execution is stopped. If ON_IOERROR is called and
an I/O related error later occurs in the same procedure activation, control is
transferred to the designated statement with the error code stored in the system
variable !ERROR_STATE. The text of the error message is contained in
!ERROR_STATE.MSG.
The effect of ON_IOERROR can be canceled by using the label NULL in the call.
Note
Calls to ON_IOERROR made in the procedure that causes an I/O error supersede
any error handling mechanisms created with CATCH and the program branches to
the label specified by ON_IOERROR.

WIDGET_BASE
The WIDGET_BASE function is used to create base widgets. Base widgets serve as
containers for other widgets.
Note
The returned value of this function is the widget ID of the newly-created base.
Note
This function has been partially documented here for the convenience of the user,
for a complete list of arguments and keywords for WIDGET_BASE see the IDL
Reference Guide.
Syntax
Result = WIDGET_BASE([Parent])
Note
Arguments
Parent
The widget ID of the parent widget. To create a top-level base, omit the Parent
argument.
Keywords
COLUMN
If this keyword is included, the base lays out its children in columns. The value of
this keyword specifies the number of columns to be used. When one column is filled,
a new one is started.
WIDGET_BASE
712
Note
The standard base widget does not impose any placement constraints on its child
widgets. However, laying out widgets using the XSIZE, YSIZE, XOFFSET, and
YOFFSET keywords can be both tedious and error-prone. Also, if you want your
widget application to display properly on different platforms, you should use the
COLUMN and ROW keywords to influence child widget layouts instead of
explicitly formatting your interfaces.
EVENT_FUNC
A string containing the name of a function to be called by the WIDGET_EVENT
function when an event arrives from a widget in the widget hierarchy rooted at the
newly-created widget.
EVENT_PRO
A string containing the name of a procedure to be called by the WIDGET_EVENT
function when an event arrives from a widget in the widget hierarchy rooted at the
newly-created widget.
EXCLUSIVE
Set this keyword to specify that the base can have only button-widget children and
that only one button can be set at a time. These buttons, unlike normal button
widgets, have two states-set and unset.
When one exclusive button is pressed, any other exclusive buttons (in the same base)
that are currently set are automatically released. Hence, only one button can ever be
set at one time.
FRAME
The value of this keyword specifies the width of a frame (in pixels) to be drawn
around the borders of the widget. Note that this keyword is only a hint to the toolkit,
and may be ignored in some instances.
FUNC_GET_VALUE
A string containing the name of a function to be called when the GET_VALUE
keyword to the WIDGET_CONTROL procedure is called for this widget. Using this
technique allows you to change the value that should be returned for a widget.
Compound widgets use this ability to define their values transparently to the user.
WIDGET_BASE
713
GROUP_LEADER
are also destroyed.
MAP
Once a widget hierarchy has been realized, it can be mapped (visible) or unmapped
(invisible). This keyword specifies the initial map state for the given base and its
descendants. Specifying a non-zero value indicates that the base should be mapped
when realized (the default). A zero value indicates that the base should be unmapped
initially. After the base is realized, its map state can be altered using the MAP
keyword to the WIDGET_CONTROL procedure.
MBAR
Set this keyword to a named variable to cause a menu bar to be placed at the top of
the base (the base must be a top-level base). The menu bar is itself a special kind of
base widget that can only have buttons as children. Upon return, the named variable
contains the widget ID of the new menu bar base. This widget ID can then be used to
fill the menu bar with pulldown menus.
NO_COPY
Usually, when the SET_UVALUE, GET_UVALUE, or SEND_EVENT keywords are
used, the source variable memory is copied. When the NO_COPY keyword is set, the
source variable dynamic memory is used by the destination, without copying. This
feature can be used by compound widgets to obtain state information from a
UVALUE without all the memory copying that would otherwise occur.
NONEXCLUSIVE
Set this keyword to specify that the base can only have button widget children. These
buttons, unlike normal button widgets, have two states-set and unset.
Non-exclusive bases allow any number of the toggle buttons to be set at one time.
WIDGET_BASE
714
PRO_SET_VALUE
A string containing the name of a procedure to be called when the SET_VALUE
technique allows you to designate a routine that sets the value for a widget.
ROW
If this keyword is included, the base lays out its children in rows. The value of this
keyword specifies the number of rows to be used. When one row is filled, a new one
is started.
This keyword is similar to the COLUMN keyword described above.
TITLE
A string containing the title to be used for the widget. Base widgets use the title only
if they are top-level widgets.
UVALUE
The user value to be assigned to the widget.
Each widget can contain a user-specified value of any data type and organization.
This value is not used by the widget in any way, but exists entirely for the
convenience of the IDL programmer. This keyword allows you to set this value when
the widget is first created.
If UVALUE is not present, the widget's initial user value is undefined.
The user value for a widget can be accessed and modified at any time by using the
GET_UVALUE and SET_UVALUE keywords to the WIDGET_CONTROL
procedure.
XOFFSET
The horizontal offset of the widget (in pixels) relative to its parent.
Specifying an offset relative to a row or column major base widget does not work
because those widgets enforce their own layout policies. This keyword is primarily of
use relative to a plain base widget. Note that it is best to avoid using this style of
widget layout.
WIDGET_BASE
715
XSIZE
The width of the widget (in pixels for most widgets, in characters for text widgets).
Most widgets attempt to size themselves to fit the situation. However, if the desired
effect is not produced, use this keyword to override it. This keyword is only a hint
to the toolkit and may be ignored in some situations.
YOFFSET
The vertical offset of the widget (in pixels) relative to its parent. This offset is
specified relative to the upper left corner of the parent widget.
Specifying an offset relative to a row or column major base widget does not work
because those widgets enforce their own layout policies. This keyword is primarily of
use relative to a plain base widget. Note that it is best to avoid using this style of
widget layout.
YSIZE
The height of the widget (in pixels for most widgets, in characters for text widgets, in
number of visible items for list widgets).
Most widgets attempt to size themselves to fit the situation. However, if the desired
effect is not produced, use this keyword to override it. This keyword is only a hint
to the toolkit and may be ignored in some situations.
Widget Events
Top-level widget bases return the following event structure only when they are
resized by the user and the base was created with the TLB_SIZE_EVENTS keyword
set:
{WIDGET_BASE, ID:0L, TOP:0L, HANDLER:0L, X:0, Y:0 }
ID is the widget ID of the base generating the event. TOP is the widget ID of the top
level widget containing ID. HANDLER contains the widget ID of the widget
associated with the handler routine. The X and Y fields return the new width of the
base, not including any frame provided by the window manager.
WIDGET_BASE
716
WIDGET_CONTROL
The WIDGET_CONTROL procedure is used to realize, manage, and destroy widget
hierarchies.
Note
This routine is often used to change the default behavior or appearance of previouslyrealized widgets.
Note
This function has been partially documented here for the convenience of the user,
for a complete list of arguments and keywords for WIDGET_CONTROL see the
IDL Reference Guide.
Syntax
WIDGET_CONTROL [, Widget_ID]
Arguments
Widget_ID
The widget ID of the widget to be manipulated. This argument can be omitted when
used with the RESET keyword, but is required for all other operations.
Keywords
DESTROY
Set this keyword to destroy the widget and any child widgets in its hierarchy. Any
further attempts to use the IDs for these widgets will cause an error.
EVENT_FUNC
A string containing the name of a function to be called by the WIDGET_EVENT
function when an event arrives from a widget in the widget hierarchy given by
Widget_ID.
WIDGET_CONTROL
717
This keyword overwrites any event routine supplied by previous uses of the
EVENT_FUNC or EVENT_PRO keywords. To specify no event routine, set this
keyword to a null string ().
EVENT_PRO
A string containing the name of a procedure to be called by the WIDGET_EVENT
function when an event arrives from a widget in the widget hierarchy given by
Widget_ID.
This keyword overwrites any event routine supplied by previous uses of the
EVENT_FUNC or EVENT_PRO keywords. To specify no event routine, set this
keyword to a null string ().
FUNC_GET_VALUE
A string containing the name of a function to be called when the GET_VALUE
technique allows you to change the value that should be returned for a widget.
GET_UVALUE
Set this keyword to a named variable to contain the current user value of the widget.
Each widget can contain a user set value of any data type and organization. This
value is not used by the widget in any way, and exists entirely for the convenience of
the IDL programmer. This keyword allows you to obtain the current user value.
The user value of a widget can be set with the SET_UVALUE keyword to this
routine, or with the UVALUE keyword to the routine that created it.
To improve the efficiency of the data transfer, consider using the NO_COPY
keyword (described below) with GET_UVALUE.
GET_VALUE
Set this keyword to a named variable to contain the current value of the widget. The
type of value returned depends on the widget type:
Button: If the button label is text, it is returned as a string. Attempts to obtain

the value of a button with a bitmap label is an error.
Draw: The IDL window ID for the drawing area is returned. This ID is used
with procedures such as WSET, WSHOW, etc., to direct graphics to the
widget. The window ID is assigned to drawing area widgets at the time they
are realized. If the widget has not yet been realized, a value of -1 is returned.
WIDGET_CONTROL
718
Label: The label text is returned as a string.
Slider: The current value of the slider is returned as an integer.
Text: The current contents of the text widget are returned as a string array. If
the USE_TEXT_SELECT keyword is also specified, only the contents of the
current selection are returned.
Widget types not listed above do not return a value. Attempting to retrieve the
value of such a widget causes an error.
The value of a widget can be set with the SET_VALUE keyword to this routine, or
with the VALUE keyword to the routine that created it.
GROUP_LEADER
are also destroyed.
HOURGLASS
Set this keyword to turn on an hourglass-shaped cursor for all IDL widgets and
graphics windows. The hourglass remains in place until the WIDGET_EVENT
function attempts to process the next event. Then the previous cursor is reinstated. If
an application starts a time-intensive calculation inside an event-handling routine, the
hourglass cursor should be used to indicate that the system is not currently
responding to events.
ICONIFY
Set this keyword to a non-zero value to cause the specified widget to become
iconified. Set this keyword to zero to open an iconified widget.
INPUT_FOCUS
If Widget_ID is a text widget, you can set this keyword to cause the widget to receive
the keyboard focus. If Widget_ID is a button widget, set this keyword to position the
mouse pointer over the button (on UNIX, Mac OS X), or set the focus to the button so
that it can be pushed with the spacebar (on Windows). This keyword has no effect
for other widget types.
WIDGET_CONTROL
719
MAP
Set this keyword to zero to unmap the widget hierarchy rooted at the widget specified
by Widget_ID. The hierarchy disappears from the screen, but still exists.
The mapping operation applies only to base widgets. If the specified widget is not a
base, IDL searches upward in the widget hierarchy until it finds the closest base
widget. The map operation is applied to that base.
Set MAP to a nonzero value to re-map the widget hierarchy and make it visible.
Normally, the widget is automatically mapped when it is realized, so use of the MAP
keyword is not required.
NO_COPY
Usually, when the SET_UVALUE, GET_UVALUE, or SEND_EVENT keywords are
used, the source variable memory is copied. When the NO_COPY keyword is set, the
source variable dynamic memory is used by the destination, without copying. This
feature can be used by compound widgets to obtain state information from a
UVALUE without all the memory copying that would otherwise occur.
Note that when the NO_COPY keyword is set, data is taken away from the source
and attached directly to the destination. This feature can be used to move data very
efficiently. However, it has the side effect of causing the source variable to become
undefined.
PRO_SET_VALUE
A string containing the name of a procedure to be called when the SET_VALUE
technique allows you to designate a routine that sets the value for a widget.
REALIZE
If set, the widget hierarchy is realized. Until the realization step, the widget hierarchy
exists only within IDL. Realization is the step of actually creating the widgets on the
screen (and mapping them if necessary).
When a previously-realized widget gets a new child widget, the new child is
automatically realized.
WIDGET_CONTROL
720
SENSITIVE
When a widget is sensitive, it has normal appearance and can receive user input. For
instance, a sensitive button widget can be activated by moving the mouse cursor over
it and pressing a mouse button. When a widget is insensitive, it indicates the fact by
changing its appearance, and ignores any input directed at it. If SENSITIVE is zero,
the widget hierarchy becomes insensitive. If nonzero, it becomes sensitive.
Sensitivity can be used to control when a user is allowed to manipulate a widget. It
should be noted that some widgets do not change their appearance when they are
made insensitive, and simply cease generating events.
SET_UVALUE
Each widget can contain a user-set value. This value is not used by IDL in any way,
and exists entirely for the convenience of the IDL programmer. This keyword allows
you to set this value.
To improve the efficiency of the data transfer, consider using the NO_COPY
keyword with SET_UVALUE.
SET_VALUE
Sets the value of the specified widget. The meaning of the value differs between
widget types:
Button: The label to be used for the button. This value can be either a scalar
string, or a 2D byte array containing a bitmap.
Label: The text to be displayed by the label widget.
List: Set the selections for the list widget (string or string array).
Slider: Sets the current position of the slider (integer).
Text: Set the text to be displayed. If the APPEND keyword is also specified,
the text is appended to the current contents instead of instead of completely
replacing it (string or string array). If the USE_TEXT_SELECT keyword is
specified, the new string replaces only the currently-selected text in the text
widget.
Widget types not listed above do not allow the setting of a value. Attempting to
set the value of such a widget causes an error.
The value of a widget can also be set with the VALUE keyword to the routine that
created it.
WIDGET_CONTROL
721
XOFFSET
Set this keyword to an integer value that specifies the widgets new horizontal offset,
in pixels. Attempting to change the offset of a widget that is the child of a ROW or
COLUMN base or a widget that is part of a menu bar or pulldown menu causes an
error.
XSIZE
Set this keyword to an integer value that represents the widgets new horizontal size
in pixels for most widgets, but in characters for text or list widgets. For most nonscrollable widgets, this size is the same as the screen size that can be set using the
SCR_XSIZE keyword. For scrollable widgets (e.g., scrolling bases and scrolling
draw widgets), this keyword adjusts the viewport size. Use the DRAW_XSIZE
keyword to change the width of the drawing area in scrolling draw widgets.
Attempting to resize a widget that is part of a menubar or pulldown menu causes an
error.
YOFFSET
Set this keyword to an integer value that specifies the widget's new vertical offset, in
pixels. Attempting to change the offset of a widget that is the child of a ROW or
COLUMN base or a widget that is part of a menu bar or pulldown menu causes an
error.
YSIZE
Set this keyword to an integer value that represents the widget's new vertical size in
pixels for most widgets, but in characters for text or list widgets. For most nonscrollable widgets, this size is the same as the screen size that can be set using the
SCR_YSIZE keyword. For scrollable widgets (e.g., scrolling bases and scrolling
draw widgets), this keyword adjusts the viewport size. Use the DRAW_YSIZE
keyword to change the height of the drawing area in scrolling draw widgets.
Attempting to resize a widget that is part of a menu bar or pulldown menu causes an
