GRAPHICS PACKAGE MARKWARDT IDL PROGRAMS Craig Markwardt craigm@cow.physics.wisc.edu 31 Jan 2000 The following instructions apply to the graphics package of the Markwardt IDL Library. These graphics procedures provide additional graphics capabilities not found in standard IDL, which I am making available for the public. I use these routines in every passing, so I have tried to make them as general and robust as possible. I am interested in hearing your feedback. DOWNLOADING Download new versions of from Craig Markwardt's web page: http://cow.physics.wisc.edu/~craigm/idl/idl.html Program modification dates appear on the web page, which you can compare agains your own copy. You can also check the modification history of the file itself to see how recent it is. Please see the file INSTALL for installation instructions. MANIFEST The following procedures are included: PLOTIMAGE - renders a 2D array on screen using familiar PLOT syntax OPLOTIMAGE - renders a 2D array on an existing coordinate axis PLOTBIN - renders simple histogram, with (optional) variable binsizes OPLOTBIN - renders histogram on existing coordinate axis PLOTCOLORFILL - renders a colored histogram PLOTCUBE - renders 3D scatter data in a tight matrix of plots, suitable for cutting out and assembling into a paper cube. INSTALL - installation instructions GREADME - this file USAGE Each of the program files is extensively self-documented in their comment headers. You can either read the files directly or download the documentation from my web page in the documentation section. The examples included in the documentation should be enough to get you started.
