IDL wish list (continued)

[joseph.b.gurman(at)gsfc.nasa.gov (Gurman)]

    In the great Age of the Web (catch it quick, it may be over next
year), it seems odd
a package with all the graphics format capabilities and anaimation
functionality of IDL
doesn't have:

1. /INTERLEAVED and /TRANSPARENT = color keywords for WRITE_GIF,

2. WRITE_QUICKTIME (with a /FLATTENED keyword for making flattened movies
on Macs
    could then be used on other systems), and

3. WRITE_MPEG

    Maybe WRITE_JAVA_SCRIPT could then follow....

    Thinking wishfully,

                  Joe Gurman

P.S. We currently generate ~ 10 Mbyte of material for the Web using IDL on
different
platforms every day.
