Hi,
Which procedures do I have to use for data preparation
if I want to display the
following kind of data with things like SHADE_SURF or SHOW3
without getting in trouble because of wrong array dimensions?
I have a 13x141 matrix with my elevations and
two vectors, x with 13 elemnts and y with 141 elements.
Is there any other introduction (book) for IDL available apart from
the "Guides"
Thanks Mirko

None. IDL is already set up to handle this kind of data.
Shade_Surf, array, x, y
Show3, array, x, y
Just make sure the number of elements in x corresponds to the
number of columns in the array and the number of elements in y
corresponds to the number of rows.

I have a book that people tell me is helpful. It's called
IDL Programming Techniques. You can find out more about it
by looking at this URL:

I don't see a problem either - as a matter of fact, I am glad David gave
the pointer,
as I have not read this NG in quite some time, and have not been to
David's www site.
