## MVN_STA_3D_SNAP

[Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    PROCEDURE:       MVN_STA_3D_SNAP

    PURPOSE:         Plots 3D (angular) snapshots in a separate window
                     for times selected with the cursor in a tplot window.
                     Hold down the left mouse button and slide for a movie effect.
                     This version uses 'plot3d' (or 'spec3d') on packaged 3D data.

    INPUTS:          None.
                     But the specified time (or [tmin, tmax]) is set, it
                     automatically show the snapshot. In this case, the
                     cursor does not appear in a tplot window.

    KEYWORDS:

       EBINS:        Energy bins to plot (passed to plot3d).
                     Default = ddd.nenergy.

       CENTER:       Longitude and latitude of the center [lon, lat].

       MAP:          Mapping projection. See 'plot3d_options' for details.

       SPEC:         Plots energy spectra using 'spec3d'.
                     (Not working yet.)

       UNITS:        Units for the 'spec3d'.
                     (Not working yet.)

       ENERGY:       One or more energies to plot.  Overrides "EBINS".

       DDD:          Named variable to hold a 3D structure including mass
                     at the last time selected.

       SUM:          If set, use cursor to specify time ranges for averaging.

       SMO:          Sets smoothing in energy and angle.  Since there are only
                     4 theta bins depending APIDs, smoothing in that dimension is not recommended.

                     smo = [n_energy, n_phi, n_theta]  ; default = [1,1,1]

                     This routine takes into account the 360-0 degree wrap when
                     smoothing (But not working yet).

       SUNDIR:       Plots the direction of the Sun in STATIC coordinates.
                     (Not working yet.)

       LABEL:        If set, label the 3D angle bins.

       KEEPWINS:     If set, then don't close the snapshot window(s) on exit.

       ARCHIVE:      If set, show snapshots of archive data.

       BURST:        Synonym for "ARCHIVE".

       MASK_SC:      Masks solid angle bins that are blocked by the spacecraft.
                     (Not working yet.)

       MASS:         Selects ion mass/charge range to show. Default is all.

       MMIN:         Defines the minimum ion mass/charge to use.

       MMAX:         Defines the maximum ion mass/charge to use.

       M_INT:        Assumes ion mass/charge. Default = 1.

       ERANGE:       If set, plots energy ranges for averaging.

       WINDOW:       Sets the window number to show. Default = 0.

       MSODIR:       Plots the direction of the MSO axes in STATIC coordinates.

       APPDIR:       Plots the direction of the APP boom in STATIC coordinates.

       APID:         If set, specifies the APID data product to use.

       PLOT_SC:      Overplots the projection of the spacecraft body.

       SWIA:         Overplots the SWIA FOV in STATIC coordidates in
                     order to make sure the FOV overlap each other.

       ZLOG:         Sets a logarithmic color bar scaling.

       CT:           Sets a color table number based on 'loadct2'.
                     Default is 34 (Rainbow).

    NOTE:            This routine is written based on partially 'swe_3d_snap'
                     created by Dave Mitchell.

    USAGE EXAMPLES:
                     1.
                     mvn_sta_3d_snap, erange=[0.1, 1.d4], wi=1, /mso, /app, /label, /plot_sc

                     2.
                     ctime, t ; Clicks once or twice on the tplot window.
                     mvn_sta_3d_snap, t, erange=[0.1, 1.d4], wi=1, /mso, /app, /label, /plot_sc

                     3.

                     If user wants to show it as the other ion species, such as O+ or O2+,
                     user must use the "m_int" keyword like m_int=16 or m_int=32.
                     Please see also the usage example #2.
                     *** !!! ***
