Routine Descriptions

CWD

 [Next Routine] [List of Routines] 
Procedure:  CWD  [,newdir]
Purpose:    Change working directory
Keywords:
       /PICK   use dialog_pickfile to choose a directory
       PROMPT = STRING   - Changes prompt to STRING+newdir
                The value STRING is stored in a common block variable and
                is not required in subsequent calls to CWD
       PROMPT = 0    - Clear prompt string

Other options:

(See general/misc/system/cwd.pro)

INIT_DEVICES

 [Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines] 
PROCEDURE:  init_devices
PURPOSE:    Initializes IDL devices for multiple systems.  Can be called from idl_startup batch file.

KEYWORDS:
   COLORTABLE:  Colortable number to be used. (defaults to 34)

 Typical examples:

 Notes:
     Searches for the environment variable "IDL_DEVICE" and uses its value to define the
     graphics device using "SET_PLOT"

LIBS

 [Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines] 
Name: libs
Purpose:
  Displays location of source files.

Usage:
  libs,string  ; string is the name of an IDL source file.
                 It may contain wildcard characters
Restrictions:

(See general/misc/system/libs.pro)

LOADCT2

 [Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines] 
PROCEDURE loadct2, colortable
   By default LOADCT2 uses the same color table used by LOADCT
   This can be changed in 3 ways:
   1) Use the FILE keyword to define a new file
   2) Define the environment variable IDL_CT_FILE to point to a new file
   3) Place a new color table file in the same directory as LOADCT2 that matches
         the name: 'colors*.tbl'.  (The last file found with file_search is used).

KEYWORDS:
   FILE:  (string) Color table file
          If FILE is not provided then LOADCT2
          Uses the environment variable IDL_CT_FILE to determine
          the color table file if FILE is not set.
   line_clrs: array of 24 (3x8 RGB colors)
          To be used as 8 colors (the first 7 and the last) of the color table.
          If this is set, but no array is provided, then a default set of 8 colors will be used
          (four different color schemes are provided, appropriate for colorblind vision).

common blocks:
   colors:      IDL color common block.  Many IDL routines rely on this.
   colors_com:
See also:
   "get_colors","colors_com","bytescale"
