# Routine Descriptions

## CWD

[Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    Procedure:  CWD  [,newdir]
    Purpose:    Change working directory
    Keywords:
           /PICK   use dialog_pickfile to choose a directory
           PROMPT = STRING   - Changes prompt to STRING+newdir
                    The value STRING is stored in a common block variable and
                    is not required in subsequent calls to CWD
           PROMPT = 0    - Clear prompt string

    Other options:

(See ssl_general/misc/system/cwd.pro)

## INIT_DEVICES

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

    PROCEDURE:  init_devices
    PURPOSE:    Initializes IDL devices for multiple systems.  Can be called from idl_startup batch file.

    KEYWORDS:
       COLORTABLE:  Colortable number to be used. (defaults to 34)

     Typical examples:

     Notes:
         Searches for the environment variable "IDL_DEVICE" and uses its value to define the
         graphics device using "SET_PLOT"

## LIBS

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

    Name: libs
    Purpose:
      Displays location of source files.

    Usage:
      libs,string  ; string is the name of an IDL source file.
                     It may contain wildcard characters
    Restrictions:

(See ssl_general/misc/system/libs.pro)

## LOADCT2

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

    PROCEDURE loadct2, colortable
       By default LOADCT2 uses the same color table used by LOADCT
       This can be changed in 3 ways:
       1) Use the FILE keyword to define a new file
       2) Define the environment variable IDL_CT_FILE to point to a new file
       3) Place a new color table file in the same directory as LOADCT2 that matches
             the name: 'colors*.tbl'.  (The last file found with file_search is used).

    KEYWORDS:
       FILE:  (string) Color table file
              If FILE is not provided then LOADCT2
              Uses the environment variable IDL_CT_FILE to determine
              the color table file if FILE is not set.
    common blocks:
       colors:      IDL color common block.  Many IDL routines rely on this.
       colors_com:
    See also:
       "get_colors","colors_com","bytescale"

## THMCTPATH

[Previous Routine] [List of Routines]

    NAME: thmctpath

    PURPOSE:
       Gets the path of the color table used by themis
