SAVEIMAGE update

I've just posted an updated version of SAVEIMAGE to

http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~gumley/imagetools.html

SAVEIMAGE saves the contents of the current graphics window to an output
file in GIF (default), BMP, TIFF, or JPEG format. The current IDL
graphics mode (8-bit or 24-bit) is detected and handled automatically
(IDL 5.1 or higher is required).

Using the procedure is as simple as 

IDL> saveimage, 'test.gif' 
IDL> saveimage, 'test.bmp', /bmp 
IDL> saveimage, 'test.tif', /tiff 
IDL> saveimage, 'test.jpg', /jpeg 

The updates include color reduction for 8-bit images, and sorted color
tables for quantized 24-bit images.

Cheers,
Liam.

PS: The companion routine SHOWIMAGE is coming along nicely. It will
provide a straightforward way to display GIF, BMP, TIFF, or JPEG images
whether you are running IDL in 8-bit or 24-bit mode.
