Get cursor coordinates from user

RodrigoPeres

Hi, 

Does someone know how I could, during a procedure, prompt the user to click on any two coordinates in layout and then use these coordinates for further processing? 

I have been trying with hiGetCommandPoint() but it is not quite what I need.

    Hi Rodrigo,

    Isn't that exactly what enterPoints(..) does? Below is the example from the enterPoints() documentation in cdnshelp:

    procedure( pointsDone( w done pts )
         if( done then
             printf("Points entered were %L.\n" pts)
         else
             println("Point entry aborted.")
         )
    )
    enterPoints( ?prompts
         list( "Enter the first point."
               "Enter the next point." )
         ?doneProc "pointsDone"
    )
