vis_image.pro

direct graphics

includes main-level program

Displays an image scaled to a "reasonable" size with x- and y-axes.

Examples

For example, create an example image using VIS_LIC and display with appropriate axes scale labels:

  scale = 4L
  restore, filepath('globalwinds.dat', subdir=['examples','data'])

  u = rebin(u, 128L * scale, 64L * scale)
  v = rebin(v, 128L * scale, 64L * scale)
  x = rebin(x, 128L * scale)
  y = rebin(y, 64L * scale)

 im = vis_lic(u, v)
 vis_image, im, x, y, xticks=4, yticks=4, /interp, /axes, /new_window

This should produce output like:

Displays an image scaled to a "reasonable" size with optional x- and y-axes.

Parameters

im in required type=image array

image array

x in optional type=fltarr default=bindgen(xsize)

x-axis values

y in optional type=fltarr default=bindgen(ysize)

y-axis values

Keywords

true in optional type=long

Set to 0 for (m, n) array images, 1 for (3, m, n), 2 for (m, 3, n), and 3 for (m, n, 3).

If TRUE is not present, VIS_IMAGE_GETSIZE will attempt to guess the size. 2D images will automatically be set to TRUE=0; 3D images' dimensions will be searched for a size 3 dimension.

stretch in optional type=float

set to a value between 0. and 100. to stretch the histogram

axes in optional type=boolean

set to display axes around the image

scale in optional type=float default=1.0

set to scale the creation of a new window to a fraction of the image size

new_window in optional type=boolean

set to create a new window of the correct size as the image

no_scale in optional type=boolean

set to not scale the image values into the display range

no_data in optional type=boolean

set to not diplay the image

position in optional type=fltarr(4)

position of the image display, [xstart, ystart, xend, yend]

xmargin in optional type=fltarr(2)

margin on left and right in character units

ymargin in optional type=fltarr(2)

margin on bottom and top in character units

charsize in optional type=float default=1.0

multiplier for size of characters

ticklen in optional type=float default=-0.02

length of tickmarks in normalized window units

_extra in optional type=keywords

keywords to PLOT, CONGRID, or WINDOW routines
