       return, string( FORMAT = '(' + format + ')', value )
     endif

     ; Here's the original reason this function was developed.
     ; If the format is not defined and the data type
     ; is FLOAT, use F13.6 instead of the IDL 5.2 free format
     ; specifier of G13.6 which is causes us particular problems

       return, string( FORMAT = '(F13.6)', value )
     endif

     ; At last, if no particular rules were met for overriding the
     ; format specifcation, use the free format I/O
     ; print, 'spd_cdawlib_ffo_string doing free format I/O: string( value )'

## SPD_CDAWLIB_PLOTMASTER

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

     NAME: spd_cdawlib_plotmaster
     PURPOSE: To plot the data given in 1 to 10 anonymous structure of the type
              returned by the spd_cdawlib_read_mycdf function.  This function determines
              the plot type for each variable, and generates the plot.
     CALLING SEQUENCE:
           out = spd_cdawlib_plotmaster(a,[more_structures])
     INPUTS:
           a = structure returned by the spd_cdawlib_read_mycdf procedure.

     KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
       TSTART =  String of the form '1996/01/02 12:00:00' or a DOUBLE CDF_EPOCH
       time that is the desired start time of the plots. Data is clipped or
       padded to conform to this time. Default is the start time of the
       earliest data.

       TSTOP = String of the form '1996/01/02 12:00:00' or a DOUBLE
       CDF_EPOCH time that is the desired stop time of the plots. Data is
       clipped or padded to conform to this time. Default is the stop time of
       the latest data.

       GIF
        Set to send plot(s) to a gif file, ie. /GIF or GIF=1L. If set a file
        will be produced in the current working directory (see OUTDIR keyword),
        using the following naming conventions: Spacecraft_instrument_pid_# (see
        the PID keyword for customization). If GIF is not set then the plot(s)
        will be put into an x-window.

        PS
          Set to send plot to a ps file. Works just as GIF above.

        PID
        May be used to customize part of the name of a gif file. The value of
        PID may be either a number or a string and will be inserted in the gif
        file name as follows: Spacecraft_instrument_pid_#.gif. If GIF is not
        set then the plot(s) will be put into an x-window and this keyword is
        ignored.

        OUTDIR
        This keyword indiates the output directory where a gif file will be
        placed. If GIF is set but OUTDIR is not, then the gif file will be put
        in the user's current working directory.GIF

        AUTO
        Set this keyword to use autoscaling instead of the variables SCALEMIN
        and SCALEMAX attribute values. The scales will be set to the min and
        max values of the data, after fill values have been filtered from the
        data (see also NONOISE keyword). If the user wishes to modify variable
        scale values for plotting purposes, you may do so by changing the
        appropriate data structure values, ie. struct.variable.scalemin = 0.0.
        Please use great care in modifying the data structures values since
        they will greatly influence what your plots or listings may look like.

        CDAWEB
        Set this keyword to force the margin on the right side of time series
        plots to be 100 pixels. This is the same margin used for spectrograms
        for the color bar. By default, spd_cdawlib_plotmaster will examine the data, and if
        ANY spectrograms will be produced, then it will align the margins
        properly. This keyword is only necessary for use in the CDAWeb system.

        SLOW
        Set this keyword to have spectrogram plotted using the POLYFILL method.
        This method is slower but more accurate than TV (used in the QUICK method).

        SMOOTH
        Set this keyword to have spectrogram data reduced prior to plotting.
        This will increase plotting speed significantly.

        QUICK
        Set this keyword to have spectrograms plotted using the TV method.
        This method is very fast, but will produce inaccurate spectrograms
        if scales are non-linear or if fill data or data gaps are present
        in the data.

        THUMBSIZE
        Set this to change the "thumbnail" size of each image when plotting
        a series of images. The default is 50w x 62h. 12 pixels is added to
        the height to allow for the time stamps under each image. So, if
        you specify a thumsize of 70 pixels, each will actually be 70x82.

        FRAME
        Used to indicate the frame number within a series of images. If you
        specify FRAME = 2, then spd_cdawlib_plotmaster will produce a "full size" version
        of the 3rd image in a sequence of images.

           COMBINE  = if set, all time series and spectrogram plots will be
                      combined into a single window or gif file.
           NONOISE  = if set, filter values outside 3-sigma from the mean
           DEBUG    = if set, turns on additional debug output.
           ELEMENTS = if set, then only these elements of a dimensional variable
                      will be plotted for stack_plot use only (right now).

       LIMIT_MOVIE = if set, then the number of frames in a movie file
       will be limited by the underlying s/w routines (to 200 or so as of
       2/2006)       if not set, no limit on the # of frames (TJK 2/9/2006)

       TOP_TITLE - if set, adjust the top margin a bit to allow a total
                   of 3 lines of title.  The value of top_title allows a
                   user to pass in an additional line of text, which
                   cdaweb is using for the binning labels.

      PLOTMERGE
        Set this keyword to plot multiple time series data on the same panel.
        PLOTMERGE = 'vector' will plot together vector components (i.e. Bx, By, Bz)
        emanating from a single variable.
        PLOTMERGE = 'mission' will plot together identical variables from
        cluster missions (i.e., MMS)

     OUTPUTS:
           out = status flag, 0=0k, -1 = problem occurred.

           burley@nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov    (301)286-2864
     MODIFICATION HISTORY:
    	Tami Kovalick, HSTX, 12/16/96 modified to verify whether
     variables requested in vnames array are actually in the "data" cdfs
     prior to requesting the data from these variables.  If variables
     aren't valid then they are removed from the vnames array and the
     code continues on to create a valid structure.
    	Tami Kovalick, HSTX, 12/20/96 modified to allow the use of
     TSTART and TSTOP keywords (see above).  Use of these keywords will
     force the code to only read the necessary records in the CDF, otherwise
     the code will read the entire CDF.  Could enhance the code to deal
     w/ one or the other keyword - right now they are only used if both
     are set.
    	Tami Kovalick, RSTX, 02/13/98, Carrie Gallap started modifications
     to spd_cdawlib_read_mycdf to accommodate "virtual variables" (VV) .  Tami finished
     up the code and made corrections to several sections.  One new routine was
     written spd_cdawlib_add_mycomponents, this routine is called when a valid virtual
     variable is found in order to add any additional variables needed for
     actually generating the data for the VV.  The routine looks for variable
     attributes w/ the naming convention COMPONENT_n where n is a digit.  The
     basic methodology to the changes is to determine whether any of the
     variables selected are virtual variables, if so then the variable name
     and the source (where the VV was defined - master or data cdfs) are
     stored in a structure called vir_vars, then add the component variables
     to the vnames array.  Do the usual checking to see if the variables requested
     in vnames actually exist. Then continue on w/ getting the metadata for all
     variables (including VV), and continue on w/ the getting the data from
     the CDFs for all variables except the VV.  Population of the VV's data field
     in the "burley" structure are handled at the very end in a case statement
     which looks for each VV's variable attribute FUNCTION to determine which
     actual "IDL function" to call, ie. spd_cdawlib_conv_pos.

## SPD_CDAWLIB_READ_MYCDF[1]

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

     This package of IDL functions facilitates reading data and metadata from
     Common Data Format (CDF) files.  While CDF provides all the benefits
     of a portable, self-documenting scientific data format, reading them is
     not always a simple matter.  To make it simple, I have created this IDL
     package so that all of the data and metadata from multiple variables can
     be read from multiple CDF files ... in one single, simple command.  The
     function is called 'spd_cdawlib_read_mycdf' and it returns an anonymous structure of
     the form:

           structure_name.variable_name.attribute_name.attribute_value

     From this structure, all data and metadata for the requested variables
     is easily accessed.

     NOTES:

     Three additional 'attributes' will be included in the sub-structure for
     each variable.  The first is the 'VARNAME' field.  Because IDL structure
     tags are always uppercase, and because CDF variable names are case sen-
     sitive, a case sensitive copy of the variable name is created.  The second
     'attribute' to be added is the 'CDFTYPE' field.  This field will hold a
     string value holding the cdf data type.  The last 'attribute' to be
     artificially added will be either the 'DAT' field or, if the keyword
     NODATASTRUCT is set, the 'HANDLE' field.  The 'DAT' field will contain
     the actual data values read from the CDF's for the variable.  The 'HANDLE'
     field will hold a handle_id where the data will reside.

     This package will look for and utilize certain special attributes required
     by the International Solar Terrestrial Physics Key Parameters Generation
     Software Standards and Guidelines.  The existance of these attributes is
     not required for the operation of this software, but will enhance its
     usefullness, primarily by reading variables that will be needed for proper
     utilization of the data, even though you may not have asked for them
     explicitly.

     This package was tested under IDL version 4.0.1b.  This package was tested
     on CDF's up to version 2.5 and on both r-variables and z-variables.

     CDF variables defined as unsigned integers are, unfortunately, currently
     returned by the IDL CDF_VARGET procedure as signed integers.  This can
     cause sign flips.  This software detects and corrects for this defect for
     data values.  However, it cannot detect and correct for this defect for
     attribute values because the IDL procedure CDF_ATTINQ does not return the
     CDF data type of the attribute.  These problems have been reported to
     RSI.

     Modifications:
    	As of October 2, 2000, this software can run on all of the following
    	IDL versions, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 (testing for 5.4 will commence soon).
    	Some fairly major changes were necessary in order for spd_cdawlib_read_mycdf
    	to work under 5.3.  IDL 5.3 enforces the variable naming rules for
    	structure tag names.  This change affects this s/w because we basically
    	had never checked our tag names, e.g. we used the CDF variable names
    	and label attribute values directly.  So in spd_cdawlib_read_mycdf the general
    	concept to fixing this problem was to set up a table (which is shared
    	in a common block - not my favorite way to go, but definitely the
    	easiest), where there are two tags, equiv and varname.  varname
    	contains the real CDF variable name, equiv contains the "cleaned up,
    	IDL acceptable" variable name that can be used as a structure tag
    	name... TJK 04/02/2000

## SPD_CDAWLIB_STR_ELEMENT

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    PROCEDURE:  spd_cdawlib_str_element, struct,  tagname, value
    PURPOSE:
     Find (or add) an element of a structure.

     Input:
       struct,  generic structure
       tagname,    string  (tag name)
     Output:
       value,  Named variable in which value of the structure element is returned.
     Purpose:
       Retrieves the value of a structure element.  This function will not produce
       an error if the tag and/or structure does not exist.
    KEYWORDS:
      SUCCESS:  Named variable that will contain a 1 if the element was found
         or a 0 if not found.
      INDEX: a named variable in which the element index is returned.  The index
         will be -2 if struct is not a structure,  -1 if the tag is not found,
         and >= 0 if successful.
      ADD_REPLACE:  Set this keyword to add or replace a structure element.
      DELETE:   Set this keyword to delete the tagname.
      CLOSEST:  Set this keyword to allow near matchs (useful with _extra)
      VALUE: (obsolete) alternate method of returning value. (Will not work with recursion)
    Notes:
      1. Value remains unchanged if the structure element does not exist.
      2. If tagname contains a '.' then the structure is recursively searched and
           index will be an array of indices.
      3. If struct is an array then results may be unpredictable.
      4. Elements may be inserted into embedded structures, by including the
           embedded structure name in the tagname string.(example below)

    Examples:
        Does an element exist?
        spd_cdawlib_str_element,my_str,'my_tag_name',SUCCESS=s
        What is an element's value?
        spd_cdawlib_str_element,my_str,'my_tag_name',v
        Add an element
        spd_cdawlib_str_element,my_str,'my_tag_name','value',/add
        Add an element to embedded structure:
        spd_cdawlib_str_element,my_str,'my_substr_name.my_tag_name','value',/add

     NAME: Function spd_cdawlib_compute_cadence

     PURPOSE: Determine the resolution between epoch values so that one
     can easily see where the "burst" data is located.  Originally
     implemented for the messenger_mag_rtn dataset.

     INPUT:
        buf           an IDL structure
        org_names     an array of original variables sent to spd_cdawlib_read_mycdf
        index	   variable position in buf

     Modification made by Ron Yurow (11/13/2014)
     Check to make sure that CDF contains at least three records in order to
     correctly compute a cadence.
     Removed by Ron Yurow (11/14/2014)
     So that an actual cadence will be returned no matter how many records are
     the CDF contains.

    adence = make_array(num_epochs, /double)
     Modification made by Ron Yurow (11/14/2014)
     Added special cases to handle when there are only 1 or 2 epochs in the CDF
     A single epoch will result in a cadence of the FILLVAL
     Two epochs will actually result in reasonable values for cadence.
     I think ....
