I have a suite of IDL routines with widget interface that do just what
you want and a whole lot more. Unfortunately, we have recently been
made aware here at NASA LaRC that there is a processess and set of
standards for the release of Gov't developed software. Since, I do
not want to write a users manual, I may not be allowed to release it.

I'll check in to it.
