Fellow IDL Users,

In the course of our satellite image visualization work, a co-worker pointed out
that when using IDL she missed having multiple image frames that you could flip
between and loop over, as you do in MCIDAS (those of you who have used MCIDAS
know what I mean). I agreed. So, I wrote a small package of IDL procedures that
mimic the functionality of frames in MCIDAS. The routines are as follows:

FSET Create frames in memory, and create visible window (scrollbars optional)
SF Print information for current frame, or switch to new frame
AF Advance one frame
BF Backup one frame
LF Loop frames

If you are interested, you can grab a binary IDL 'SAVE' file at

http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~gumley/frame.sav

and then in IDL load it by the command

restore,file='frame.sav',/verbose

If you type any of the command names followed by a /HELP keyword, the help
text will be printed, e.g.

FSET,/HELP

There are examples shown in the help text for each routine. I have tested them
as best I can on an SGI. They should work on any Unix box with an X display, or
in Windows or Mac IDL. Please feel free to give the routines a whirl and see
what you think. Any comments are very welcome. Let me know if you find any bugs,
or if there is some additional functionality you think would be useful.

Cheers,
Liam.
