You could stick them into my XWINDOW program. Then you have
a resizeable graphics windows and automatic output to JPEG,
GIF, TIFF, and PostScript files.

XWindow, 'Shade_Surf', Dist(40), /Output, /XColors

You can find the XWINDOW program here:

To take full advantage of the program you will need
these other programs as well:
