Then read the jpegs (or whatever) using IDL (see the astronomy library at GSFC for reading various image formats). Then display the image with tv (or IDLgrImage or whatever). You could place text using xyouts (or IDLgrText). Again, this seems like it's going to be more work than it's worth...

I just think it would be infinitely easier to expand the definition of
"widget window" to include a separate browser window. It won't be that
hard for people to make the adjustment. :-)

Cheers,

David
