User Panel inconsistantly displayed from a computer to another

Share icon

Hi all,

I am encountering a small problem when sharing a procedure that I wrote to other people. For an unknown reason, some Buttons or SetVariable are not displayed in the same way.
Please see image enclosed. In this case, the SetVariable is in both case defined as:
SetVariable Set_SiteLon title="\f05Site coordinates:\f00   Lon",size={160,16},pos={123,281},limits={-inf,inf,0},value=Site_lon,disable=0

is there any reason why this happens?

Thanks!

Looks like two systems with different resolution settings and possibly different default fonts. You can use BodyWidth to reserve a fixed amount of space for the SetVariable. It can be problematic to try to get the SetVariable aligned to the right of that title box (it is a titlebox, right?).

When I move Igor procedures between my office computer and my laptop some of the user interface elements always move around. I correct for it using Variable n=ScreenResolution/96. By correcting the positions of the elements that move around by either multiplying or dividing by n I can fix them in place. It has to do with the difference between pixels and points in Igor, which I find confusing, but I can deal with it through trial and error.
