DESCRIPTION: De-selects one variable from the comparison, leaving other variable settings intact. OR unset all with keyword \all KEYWORDS: All: Mark all variables as unselected with keyword \all.

(See projects/dscovr/mission_compare/dsc_mission_compare__define.pro)
DESCRIPTION:
Reorders the comparison variables.
If passed no arguments it will enter an interactive session.
Order positions are described by 1-indexed positions.
(I.e.- the top panel is in position 1, the next panel down in
position 2, etc.)
INPUT:
TARGET:
if SCALAR - An identifier of the item in the variable list
that you want moved. STRING or INTEGER.
A STRING must match one of the selected variables.
An INTEGER must index a valid position. (I.e.- if
there are 4 selected variables, then a 1,2,3,and 4 are
valid positions.
if ARRAY - A description of the desired ordering. STRING or INTEGER.
A STRING array must be a permutation of the existing
selected values.
AN INTEGER array must be a permuation of the existing positions.
(I.e.- if there are 4 selected elements, then the existing positions
can be described as [1,2,3,4]. Passing [4,1,2,3] as TARGET requests
that the last item be moved to the first position, the first item
moved to the second position, etc.)
DESTINATION: The desired end position for target element. (INTEGER)
Default is 1.
This argument only has meaning if TARGET is SCALAR; it is
ignored otherwise.

(See projects/dscovr/mission_compare/dsc_mission_compare__define.pro)
DESCRIPTION: Set which missions to compare. Pass as string arguments or set interactively if no arguments passed. If only one argument is passed, it updates Mission 1 If missions are changed and it is already using a default title, it will update the default title. Otherwise, it will prompt the user whether or not to update the current title to a new default title.

DESCRIPTION: Returns the title generated by default.
(See projects/dscovr/mission_compare/dsc_mission_compare__define.pro)
DESCRIPTION:
Sets all comparison variables.
If passed a string (scalar or array) will set these variables
as those to be compared and will de-select all others.
If no strings, or bad strings, are passed the routine will provide
an interactive prompt.
Array order implies the panel order in the plotted comparison.
If supplying variables interactively, the panel order is the
order in which the variables are entered at the prompt.
If passed a {DSC_MISSION_COMPARE} structure it will set the variables
based on the fields set in the structure, preserving any valid
ordering and colors if they are set in the structure. Title and
mission fields in the structure are ignored. May update the default title.

NAME: DSC_SHIFTLINE
DESCRIPTION:
Time shift one or more lines of a given TPLOT plot and display
shift amount on right side label.
KEYWORDS: (Optional)
DYINFO=: Structure holding dsc_dyplot parameters, as returned in the OLD_DYINFO
keyword to that routine. Use this to call dsc_dyplot with these parameters.
DSCDY: Set this to draw DSCOVR confidence intervals for relevant data in all panels.
dsc_dyplot options are based on tags in each variable's options structure.
i.e., it calls dsc_dyplot with no keywords.
Supercedes the DYINFO= keyword.
NEWVARS=: Returns the names of any new tplot variable names created during this call.
PANEL=: Scalar or Array of indices describing which panels will be targets for
time shifting. (1-indexed like TPLOT). Default is all panels. (Int)
RESET: Set this to return selected lines to initial, un-shifted, state.
SHIFTSTRING=: A string representing the desired time shift, formatted to comply with the
'dsc_time_absolute' class:
Format: '#d#h#m#s#ms'
You may leave out unit id strings, but not repeat them:
OK '3h2m'
NOT OK '3h45m13m'
Numbers must all be positive integers, with the execption of the leading negative.
OK '3d4h23m16s400ms'
OK '-23h'
NOT OK '15h-4m'
NOT OK '15.4m'
If value passed in SHIFTSTRING is scalar, this shift will be used for all panels
affected by the DSC_SHIFTLINE call. If value is an array, it must be the same size
as the number of panels in this call. In that case, each shift corresponds to the
associated panel. (String)
For Example:
dsc_shiftline,varpattern='dsc',shiftstring='30m'
-- will shift all DSCOVR lines forward by 30 minutes for all the panels.
dsc_shiftline,varpattern='dsc',shiftstring=['30m','-4h'],panel=[1,2]
-- will shift the DSCOVR line in the first panel 30 minutes forward
and the DSCOVR line in the second panel backward by 4 hours.
TVINFO=: Structure containing TPLOT variables information - as returned
from the 'new_tvar' keyword to tplot.
If not set uses that found in common 'tplot_vars'
VARPATTERN=: A regex pattern used to match the tplot variable name to shift.
If value is scalar, this pattern will be used for all panels affected by
this call. If value is array, it must be the same size as the number of
panels in this call. In that case, each pattern corresponds to the associated
panel. (String)
For Example: Given a multi-panel plot, each panel holding both DSCOVR and WIND data
dsc_shiftline,varpattern='dsc',shiftstring='30m'
-- will shift all DSCOVR lines forward by 30 minutes for all the panels.
dsc_shiftline,varpattern=['dsc','wi'],shiftstring='30m',panel=[1,2]
-- will shift the DSCOVR line in the first panel and the WIND line in the second panel.
VERBOSE=: Integer indicating the desired verbosity level. Defaults to !dsc.verbose

NAME:
dsc_time_absolute__define
PURPOSE:
Defines an object to represent an absolute amount of time, not in reference
to any date. e.g., "10 minutes." Used to enable time amount conversion and
string representations.
Designates all times as a combination of days(d), hours(h), minutes(m),
seconds(s), and milliseconds(ms) and can be both positive and negative.
The time representation is always kept in a reduced form. So, for example,
you can define a time of 1 hour and 65 minutes
IDL> t1 = dsc_time_absolute('1h65m')
In this case it will be stored as 2 hours and 5 minutes.
IDL> print,t1
02h 05m
CALLING SEQUENCE:
abstime = Obj_New("DSC_TIME_ABSOLUTE")
abstime = Obj_New("DSC_TIME_ABSOLUTE",h=1,mn=30)
abstime = Obj_New("DSC_TIME_ABSOLUTE",'1h30m')
abstime = dsc_time_absolute()
abstime = dsc_time_absolute(h=1,mn=30)
abstime = dsc_time_absolute('1h30m')

You may leave out unit id strings, but not repeat them:
OK '3h2m'
NOT OK '3h45m13m'
Numbers must all be positive integers, with the execption of the leading negative.
OK '3d4h23m16s400ms'
OK '-23h'
NOT OK '15h-4m'
NOT OK '15.4m'
KEYWORDS (Optional):
NEG: Set this to negate the total time value set by the other keywords
D=: Days

DESCRIPTION:
Add an amount of time to this object by passing a
time string.
The overloaded '+' operator uses this method internally.
Timestring rules:
- A string composed of the concatenation of one or more substrings
of the form substring = '{number}{unit_string}' where:
* {number} is a positive integer
* {unit_string} is one of 'd','h','m',s', or 'ms'
[Representing days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds, respectively.]
- The substrings can be combined in any order, with a limit of one
substring per {unit_string} type.
- A leading '-' is accepted to indicate a negative time amount.
- A leading '+' is accepted (but not required) to indicate a positive time amount.
Time is always stored in reduced form in the dsc_time_absolute object.
I.e., 300 seconds will show as 5 minutes; 1 hour 90 minutes as 2 hours 30 minutes, etc.
CALLING SEQUENCE:
mt = dsc_time_absolute('3h20m')
mt.add,'40m'
--> time is now 4 hours
Alternately, use the '+' operator:
mt1 = dsc_time_absolute('3h20m')
mt2 = dsc_time_absolute('40m')
mt = mt1 + mt2

DESCRIPTION:
Subtract an amount of time from this object by passing a
time string.
The overloaded '-' operator uses this method internally.
Timestring rules:
- A string composed of the concatenation of one or more substrings
of the form substring = '{number}{unit_string}' where:
* {number} is a positive integer
* {unit_string} is one of 'd','h','m',s', or 'ms'
[Representing days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds, respectively.]
- The substrings can be combined in any order, with a limit of one
substring per {unit_string} type.
- A leading '-' is accepted to indicate a negative time amount.
- A leading '+' is accepted (but not required) to indicate a positive time amount.

CALLING SEQUENCE:
mt = dsc_time_absolute('3h20m')
mt.sub,'40m'
--> time is now 2 hours 40 minutes
Alternately, use the '-' operator:
mt1 = dsc_time_absolute('3h20m')
mt2 = dsc_time_absolute('40m')
mt = mt1 - mt2
