The Regionmanager and images

It is possible to request `interactive' region creation from the Regionmanager GUI (select desired Image tool from Regionmanager list and click `interactive' from list of possible region types).

This action will start the Image.view function of the specified image (the `break' button on the display panel will be active - normally it is inactive) and the Regionmanager will collect the interactive regions that you make (by double clicking inside the delineated region - see also Image.view documentation for instructions on how to make them). You could then send this region along to a region-entry widget for example.

Although we could connect a region-entry widget directly to the image display (cutting out the Regionmanager), it is currently felt that until we have a real communications manager in AIPS++, that such clever connections will be too unclear (the user must have some way of knowing what is connected to what). Thus we persist with the slightly less sophisticated model of the Regionmanager always being the hub for region communications.
