One huge advantage, I just thought of, is that if
I rename TVImage to cgImage I can make it do
nearest neighbor interpolation by default.
Making TVImage interpolate by default was one
of the biggest programming blunders I ever made.
Right behind the EUROPEAN keyword, probably. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Who knew in 1996 that satellite data was
going to be so important and that remote sensing
types were going to be SO picky about their
precious pixels? ;-)

I fully support a name space migration/amendment ! I wouldn't worry
about using up two of them, so if there are no technical issues, go
for it!

Nay, *please* go for it!

I like the lowercase "cg" prefix. Fits better with what is becoming an IDL naming idiom. (Just to be clear, that last
letter is an "m", i.e. em :o)

This renaming I also think would be good. Mostly because amongst all the "FSC_" (or "cg") examples you've posted,
"TVImage" stood out.

BTW, the URL for your 3 January 2011 update is incorrect. It states:

svn co http://idl-coyote.googlecode.com/svn/tags/coyote_code_releas e_2_201101032 local_dir

but should be

svn co http://idl-coyote.googlecode.com/svn/tags/coyote_code_releas e_2_20110103 local_dir

(there's a "2" on the end.)

When's the Feb update tag gonna be available....?
