Folks,
I've been working on an IDL application to read, display,
and manipulate images available on the National Snow and
Ice Data Center (NSIDC) web page. My plan is to demo this
IDL Virtual Machine application at the big AGU meeting in
San Francisco in December. I hope some of you can stop by
the booth to see it and say hello. It is always, well,
*illuminating* to see in person someone you only know via
e-mail and newsgroup chatter. :-)
To this end, I have been adding functionality (and, alas,
fixing bugs) to reasonably popular Coyote Library programs.
I have put up some new programs today you might be interested
in downloading.
XCOLORS: I have added the ability to switch from IDL colors
to Brewer colors, and visa versa. This button appears only
if you have the Brewer color file fsc_brewer.tbl somewhere
in your IDL distribution.

XSTRETCH: I have added the ability to restore the original
stretch to your image at any time while you are playing
with the image. You can find this functionality under
the Controls menu.

FSC_INPUTFIELD: In chasing down a bug in XSTRETCH, I found
the bug in FSC_Inputfield. (So download this program, too,
if you get a new XStretch.) The problem was when the field
value was a BYTE instead of an INT.

FSC_PSCONFIG__DEFINE: This is not a bug fix, but I have
sharpened up the interface a bit so that it looks more
modern. (I have an article planned on how I did this,
but the bottom line is that I stole the idea from some
of the super-sharp programmers at ITTVIS.) Most people
don't use this program directly, but rather they access
it via PSCONFIG.

As always, let me know if you find bugs or have ideas for improving
these programs. :-)
Cheers,
David
