I've taken two ArcGIS-related classes, and can operate that software alright to make maps and some tables. That's about as technical as I've ever had to get - IDL is quite the wrong fit for me!

OK, here is my solution, then. When you get questioned
about whether this is your own work or not, just
say "I went to sleep the other night, and the answer
came to me in a dream. It was like I was channeling
Kekulé's structure of benzene!"
If you don't know who Kekulé is, you better bone
up on that whole snake chasing its tail business:

Here it is:
cgImage, Filename='sky.jpg', /Window, WMULTI=[0,1,2]
cgImage, Filename='ocean.jpg', /AddCmd
cgControl, Output='combined_sky_ocean.jpg'
Good luck with this. You will owe me a beer when
I run into you at the big AGU meeting in San Francisco
next year!
Cheers,
David
