Folks,
The Coyote Graphics update for today includes two new programs:
FSC_Window_Set_Defaults and FSC_Window_Get_Defaults:
http://www.idlcoyote.com/programs/coyoteprograms.zip
These programs allow you to configure global properties of
the resizeable FSC_Window programs. Properties can include
background window color, the title of the windows, the
initial size and placement of the windows, ImageMagick
configuration values (i.e., PS_END keywords), details of
how multiple plots should be displayed, window color vectors,
and whether the PostScript output should be encapsulated.
You can also configure PostScript output to use an American or
European style (A4 paper, cm measurements, etc.) interface.
IDL> CTLoad, 5, RGB_TABLE=palette
IDL> FSC_Window_Set_Defaults, PALETTE=palette, $
ERASEIT=1, XSIZE=800, YSIZE=400, XPOS=100, YPOS=200, $
ENCAPSULATED=1, EUROPEAN=1
IDL> TVImage, LoadData(7), /WINDOW, MARGIN=0.1, /WHITE
Global properties can be set (or reset to default
values) at any time to apply to any future FSC_Window
program. I recommend you call FSC_Window_Set_Defaults
from your IDL start-up file to custom configure your
FSC_Window properties.
Individual window properties can still be set with
FSC_WControl, and there are now a greater number of
properties that can be set from this program.
Cheers,
David

Alright. As usual, I put Coyote in charge of these details
and he totally screwed it up. "Metric" it is. :-)
Cheers,
David

Hi David,
How about abandoning this non-inclusive "European" tag that you see as
complementary to "American?"
Replace it with "Metric" or "ISO" as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216
This "American" business places you in limited and questionable
company :-

Let's make ISO the default, and have a "NOAH" or "CUBITS" keyword for
the
3 countries on the planet that cling to Imperial units... ;-)
Regards,
Andrew
