Routine Descriptions

THM_GMAG_STACKPLOT.PRO

[Next Routine] [List of Routines]
 NAME:
       thm_gmag_stackplot.pro

 PURPOSE:
       To create 3 PNG files displaying the H,D and Z components of the magnetic field
	from multiple GBO stations out of GMAG data that is stored in CDF file.

 CALLING SEQUENCE:
       thm_gmag_stackplot, date, duration, stack_shift=stack_shift, no_expose=no_expose, make_png=make_png, mastercdf_path=mastercdf_path

 INPUTS:
       date: The start of the time interval to be plotted. (Format: 'YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss')
	duration: The length of the interval being plotted. (Floating point number of days -> 12hr=0.5), default=1
	stack_shift: Space between stations on the y-axis (units are nanotesla), default=50
	no_expose: Set this keyword to prevent the plot from being printed to the screen.
	make_png: Set this keyword to make the 3 PNG files.
	max_deviation:  Large spikes in the data (probably gliches) can screw up the y-axis scales.  This keyword allows
		you to set the maximum deviation the data can go from the median; points that exceed this value are omitted.
		The default value is 500 nT.
	no_data_load:  This keyword prevents new data from being loaded; the routine will try to plot existing data if it exists.
	hi_lat:  Set this keyword to plot high latitude stations (above 49 degrees)
	lo_lat:  Set this keyword to plot low latitude stations (below 49 below)

 OUTPUTS:
       None, but it creates 3 PNG files in the directory that IDL is being run.

 PROCEDURE:
       Read in data from CDF files; plot the data using tplot.pro routines;
       make PNG files with makegif.pro routine

 EXAMPLE:
       thm_gmag_stackplot, '2006-11-11',1,/make_png, max_deviation=500, stack_shift=200.

 MODIFICATION HISTORY:
       Written by:       Matt Davis
       October 23, 2006     Initial version

NOTE: This program is still in development.  Features to be added:
	-generalizing the routine

THM_LOAD_ASK

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
Procedure: THM_LOAD_ASK

Purpose:  Loads THEMIS All Sky Keograms

keywords:
   TRANGE= (Optional) Time range of interest  (2 element array).
   /VERBOSE : set to output some useful info
   /ALL     : get all All SKY keogram stations
Example:
   thg_load_ask,/all
Notes:
  This routine is (should be) platform independent.

THM_LOAD_GMAG

[Previous Routine] [List of Routines]
Procedure: THM_LOAD_GMAG,station

keywords:
   TRANGE= (Optional) Time range of interest  (2 element array).
   /VERBOSE : set to output some useful info
   /SUBTRACT_AVERAGE  ;
Example:
   thm_load_gmag,'bmls'
Notes:

 To get an array of valid names make the following call;
   thm_load_gmag,valid_names=vn
 No further action will be taken.
