I have to write a script that acts as follows:
The user selects 4 points on a curve. (PointProc #1).
The script uses these points to calculate something (e.g. their sum.)
Then, the user selects two intervals. (PointProc #2 and #3).
The script performs some calculations on the two intervals.
The problem is the following:
1.) The script does not wait for GetPTS or DoToolbox to finish,
thus PointProc #3 redefines PointProc #1-#2.
2.) I could use an EndToolbox macro containing PointProc #2, but it does not
work, either.
Please suggest a solution if one exists.
Regards,

Hi Laurie,
Thank you for the answer. I solved the problem in another way:
I created a button "Next step" that called different sections in an OGS file, depending on a counter.
In each section I defined a different PointProc macro.
This method solved my problem, but the method you suggested seems to be more sophisticated.
Thanks again,
Tamas

Hi Tamas,
This script should do what you need.
getpts 4;
def endtoolbox {... done=1;}
for(done=0;done==0; ) { sec -p .05;}
getpts 2;
def endtoolbox {... done=1;}
for(done=0;done==0; ) { sec -p .05;}
Note the infinite for loop can be used anytime you want your script to wait until the appropriate number of points have been selected by the user.

Hi Tamas,
This script should do what you need.
getpts 4;
def endtoolbox {
sum=0;
loop(ii,1,4){
sum+=%C[_indx[ii]];}
type -a "Sum is $(sum)";
done=1;
}
for(done=0;done==0; ) {
sec -p .05;
}
getpts 2;
def endtoolbox {
mks1=_indx[1];
mks2=_indx[2];
integrate %C;
type -a "Area under %C from $(_xpos[1]) to $(_xpos[2]) is $(integ.area).";
done=1;
}
for(done=0;done==0; ) {
sec -p .05;
}

Hi Mike,
I read the article this morning. It is a good intro but doesn't address any more advanced issues like how to re-use the PointProc macro for several itterations.

There is a Knowledge Base article on using GetPts that might help you. Just use the keyword "GetPts" and then Submit Query.
