Bill, that does look like it will work well, In my initial playing it
does not seem to be the most intuitive thing but so many things in IDL
are not that I am getting more and more used to them. Like the extra
"axis" that is drawn by default, but I have seen in help somewhere
examples that did not have that.

Brian
