Gradient Function [message #6204]

I am new to IDL and I am looking for a function that might speed
up a procedure I am working on. I have a two dimensional array that has
some data points mostly low values, but in places it jumps rather quickly
to high values. I want to put zeros at the constant places and ones at
the quick changes.
It was suggested to me that I should try some kind of gradient
function. I can probably create my own for IDL, but I wanted to know if
there was any kind of function that might help in my efforts. I think the
DERIV function might help, but maybe there is a more powerful function to
examine these changes within the array.
Lastly what I have created causes a shift of the data by 1 element
in the new array...any suggestions on how to fix this?
