                                 (default: 5 min, Hires: 1 min)
         prefix:        String to append to the beginning of the loaded tplot variables
         suffix:        String to append to the end of the loaded tplot variables
         prefix:        String to append to the beginning of the loaded tplot variables
         probes:        Array of GOES spacecrafts (8-17). Default is probes=['16'].
         varnames:      Array of names of variables to load. Defaults is all (*)
         downloadonly: Download files but don't load them into tplot.
         hires:        If set, download full data files (larger files, can be over 180MB).
                       If not set, use lowest available resolution (default).
         no_time_clip: Don't clip the tplot variables.
         get_support_data: Keep the support data.

     Procedure:
             goesr_overview_plot

     Purpose:
             Generates daily overview plots for GOES-R data (goes16-17)

     Keywords:
             date: start date for the overview plot
             duration: duration of the overview plot, in days; defaults to 1-day
             directory: local directory to save the overview plots to (should end with '/' or '\')
             makepng: generate png files
             device: change the plot device for cron plotting (for cron use device = 'z')
             geopack_lshell: calculate L-shell by tracing field lines
                 to the equator instead of using the dipole assumption
             skip_ae_idx: set this keyword to skip downloading/plotting AE data
             error: 1 indicates an error, 0 for no error

     Keywords specific to creating overview plots in the GUI:
             gui_overplot: overview plot was created in the GUI
             oplot_calls: pointer to an int for tracking calls to overview plots - for
                 avoiding overwriting tplot data already loaded during this session
             import_only: Used to make this routine import the data into the gui, but not plot it.
