Coyote Graphics Plot Gallery
This is a gallery of example IDL programs and graphics plots, written using Coyote Graphics routines. Its purpose is to demonstrate the best programming practices for creating direct graphics graphical output in IDL. Click any image to see a larger representation of the graphical output.
Each example program consists of an IDL procedure that will create the graphical output in an IDL graphics window. Following each program is a main-level IDL program that will run the example program and display the graphical output in both a normal IDL graphics window and in a resizeable graphics window. In addition, the main-level IDL program will create both a PostScript file and a PNG file of the graphical output. PNG file output requires that ImageMagick is installed properly on your machine. If this is not the case, simply remove or comment out the last line in the main-level program before running the program.
If these programs don't run as you think they should, please follow these steps to resolve the problem. You will need a version of the Coyote Library that was created on or after 16 May 2013 to run all the programs in the gallery.
