Both of these requests are possible, although not without a bit of
programming on your part. I have a simplified version of XANIMATE
that I mucked around with for 15 minutes while the kids were
taking showers. With certain limitations on the two data sets, it
performs both of the actions described above. I guess it would take
me an hour or so to make the program more general.
You can see my little prototype if you like, or you can do your own
mucking around with XANIMATE. You can find the source code in
the IDL library.
Yours,
David
