PROCEDURE: add_data, n1,n2 PURPOSE: Creates a tplot variable that is the difference of two tplot variables. INPUT: n1,n2 tplot variable names (strings)
(See ssl_general/tools/tplot/add_data.pro)
PROCEDURE: ang_data, n1,n2 PURPOSE: Creates a tplot variable that is the angle between two tplot variables. INPUT: n1,n2 tplot variable names (strings) These should each be 3 element vectors
(See ssl_general/tools/tplot/ang_data.pro)
PROCEDURE: avg_data, name, res PURPOSE: Creates a new tplot variable that is the time average of original. INPUT: name tplot variable names (strings)
(See ssl_general/tools/tplot/avg_data.pro)
PROCEDURE: deriv_data, n1,n2
PURPOSE:
Creates a tplot variable that is the derivative of a tplot variable.
INPUT: n1 tplot variable names (strings)
Keywords:
newname: the name of the tplot variable in which output should be
stored. This will produce an error if you use this option with globbing.
nsmooth: If this keyword is set smoothing will be performed. The
number you set this keyword equal to is the width of the smoothing
to be applied to the data. It is the same as the
width argument to the idl smooth procedure. To get an explanation of
how this keyword works please see the idl documentation for the
'width' keyword to the idl 'smooth' procedure.
suffix: the suffix to be applied to the input data. Use this if you
want to call this procedure on multiple tplot variables
simultaneously.
replace: set this keyword if you want to replace the original
variables with the new values
Examples:
deriv_data,'thb_fgs_dsl'
deriv_data,'th?_fgs_dsl',suffix='_fgsderiv'
deriv_data,'thb_fgs_dsl thb_state_pos',nsmth=2
deriv_data,'thb_fgs_dsl',newname='fgs_derivd'
deriv_data,'the_*',/replace

PROCEDURE: load_wi_elpd5 PURPOSE: loads WIND 3D Plasma Experiment key parameter data for "tplot". INPUTS: none, but will call "timespan" if time_range is not already set. KEYWORDS: DATA: Raw data can be returned through this named variable. TIME_RANGE: 2 element vector specifying the time range RESTRICTIONS: This routine expects to find the master file: 'wi_elsp_3dp_files' In the directory specified by the environment variable: 'CDF_INDEX_DIR' See "make_cdf_index" for more info.

PROCEDURE: mult_data, n1,n2 PURPOSE: Creates a tplot variable that is the product of two other tplot variables. INPUT: n1,n2 tplot variable names (strings)
(See ssl_general/tools/tplot/mult_data.pro)
PROCEDURE: nul_data PURPOSE: Null out a range of tplot data. INPUT: none yet
(See ssl_general/tools/tplot/nul_data.pro)
function: tdexists
purpose: Checks to see if a tplot variable exists and if its data
exists. Exists means that there is data on the specified interval
and that the data is not all NaNs
Inputs:
tvarname: A name or names to be checked(accepts type globs)
start_time: a start datetime for the interval
end_time: an end datetime for the interval
Keywords:
dims: set this keyword to a number if you want the function also to verify that
the data has that number of elements in its second dimension. For
example, if you set dims = 3, it will verify that the y component
of the tplot variable is Nx3.
NOTES:
If you pass in a list of variables, this routine will return 0 if
any of them do not exist or they do not have data on the
interval.
If you use globbing, it will return 0 if no variables match the
glob and 0 if any of the variables that match the glob do not
have data on the interval.
On the other hand, if, for example,
you expect that 2 variables should match the glob, but only one is
present or only one matches and that has data, it will return
true, because it cannot predict how many variables you expect to
exist if you do not explictly specify them.
This routine always returns 0 if the size(d.y,/n_dim) gt 3
Where d is the data struct of a tplot variable

Procedure: tplot_ascii
Purpose:
Creates an ascii file for selected tplot variables.
Input:
Names names of tplot variables. May use glob patterns to specify
a set of variables.
Keywords:
fname: file name, by default 'tplot_name' where name is set to
tvar[n] (variable name)
Ext: by default, a separate file will be created in the
current directory with name tplot_name.txt. Use this
keyword to set the .txt extension to a different extension.
dir: Put output in dir as opposed to current working directory.
precise: increases precision to maximum
trange: array[2] of double or string. Specify time range for output.
header: optional keyword, if set ascii file will contain header information
History:
08-Jul-2008, cg, added formating to handle 3 d data sets
09-may-2008, cg, added format statement to print so that the values didn't
run together
09-may-2008, cg, added use of precision keyword, set default value = 3
29-apr-2008, cg, fixed bug with dlimits
28-mar-2008, cg, added keyword fname to allow user to specify a file
name (thm_ui_dproc procedure determines and passes the
filename)
28-mar-2008, cg, added file header
27-aug-2008, cg, added another time precision keyword /msec to print format
