Hi Gadi,
The quickets way is to copy what's already been done. Start up
IDL and at the prompt, enter animate and press return. If that
looks like what you need, then you'll nead to read your image
data in from files and convert them into an array of images
to use in the animate widget. There are routines like READ_TIFF
that will help with this.
Good luck
Tim

Call RSI at (303) 786-9900 and have them send you a copy of "Learning IDL".
Short of someone in the newsgroup doing the job for you, that will be the
quickest way.
Cheers,
Liam.

Ok, it has been a looooooooong time
since I did anything like this, but
if you can display the image in the
manner most pleasing to you, you can
read these into an Xinteranimate loop
which will win the praise of your boss
for years to come!
Answer: Use tv and xinteranimate.
