Well, what is on your display is going to be
represented by byte values, pure and simple. I
don't think you really want to do science with
this image any more than you want to do science
with a true-color image. :-)

I would guess because the person wants to do
science with it later. Hard to do with a image
that only tells you about *color*. :-)

WRITE_TIFF, filename, TVRD(/TRUE)

Why do you think you need a floating point tiff?
