Thanks for the feedback David. I think it's fair to say that I stole a
couple of ideas from your TVImage program in the first place. Craig
Markwardt's recent PlotImage update also provided food for thought.

I'll meet you three quarters of the way: I've changed the default margin
to 0.025 normal units when multiple plots are displayed. I've also added
better detection of the display depth. The updated version is available
at
http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~gumley/imdisp.html
Cheers,
Liam.

Very nice job here, Liam. I stole a couple of your ideas
for my own TVImage program. Particularly your automatic
recognition of the !P.Multi system variable. I don't know
why it is so hard to think of simple ideas sometimes.
But you have done a great job with this. :-)
I have just one suggestion. By default the image is
very small when you set the !P.Multi system variable.
I discovered, after playing around with it for a
couple of minutes, that this was because the Margin
was still set to 0.1. I like your idea of maintaining
the aspect ratio of the image, but I would automatically
turn the margins off unless they were explicitly asked
for when plotting multiple images.
That's is. I like everything about it.
Cheers,
David
