Hello,
I am trying to place multiple images created using the IMAGE function
in the same figure using the new IDL 8.1 graphics functions. I know
that you can initially create a window and then add each image using
specified positions or layout, but I was wondering if you can first
create two images [i.e. i1=image() and i2=image()] and then merge them
onto a new window afterwards. By creating the images first, I do not
run into positioning issues when adding text and colorbars to the
individual image. If I create the window first, the text positioning
is linked to the window itself instead of the individual image and
that creates issues with some of my automated programs.
Basically, I have a program that can create single images with
specificed positioning for the text and colorbar and it works quite
well for what I am trying to do. However, I would now like to make a
composite of multiple images and I would like to avoid having to save
each image individually and then read each one again to add it to a
new graphics window. Is anyone familiar with the new graphics
functions that can help?
Thanks for your assistance,
Kim
