I have tried the above. The screen does not contain a sliver of the
image but the upper left quadrant of the screen is white while the
reaming 3 quadrants are black. I see a partial axis in the white
quadrant.

The images contain intensity information. First because different
kinds of tissues are seen clearly. Secondly (My feeling), each image
of the size 24 bit in its color.

Yes, I do have an IDL console window where I cross check each variable

As you have suggested,I think I will try to display just one image
without the loop and see if it is being displayed entirely or not.
Thank you!
