Re: Merging Bytarr

["Mark Chan" <chanm(at)cadvision.com>]

Thanks Craig.

I used this clumsy way:
d=bytarr(3,40,700)
d(0,0,0)=a & d(0,0,200)=b & d(0,0,300)=c

You way is better.

What throws me off in the first place was that the image, when shown on
screen, was 40 wide and 100 high, the next one 200 high, and the last one
400 high. To be pasted into 40 wide x 700 wide. The sequence of the
(3,40,etc) was not the same as my experience with other array indices (may
be I am missing something).

Thanks,
Mark Chan
