David: Why would you ever want to do this? Just go with the flow!

Craig: Darn it! Why doesn't IDL have this in the first place? <grump>

JD: You can do it with a combination of HISTOGRAM and REBIN...

Pavel: Make sure it works on a Mac too!

R. Bauer: See http://www.fz-juelich.de/ for licensing...

Liam: Be sure to properly document your code and you will never have this
problem.

Newbie: Why won't colors work on my 24-bit screen?

Sarcasm aside, and it WAS SARCASM :-), yes Daniel, I think this would
be a wonderful addition to IDL, but I don't know of any such tool at
the moment.

Craig

P.S. No offense intended by anybody's inclusion or omission from the
list above. I was just having fun!
