										Downloading IDL Virtual Machine  1493  7

										I have an account which is obvious because I can post here.  I am trying to download the virtual machine but keep getting a message that I do have access to the portal.  I have downloaded previous versions of the virtual machine in the past.  Need the latest version to run a program.  Running Windows 7 Pro with IE 8.  Any suggestions

										Converting 8bit to 160bit using FIX  1144  0

										EDIT:  Nevermind.  As per usual when I finally resorted to asking a question, I had an idea and got this conversion to work quickly in R.  
This is likely a simple question, but I don't use IDL very often (at all, really).  However, it seems best suited to this particular problem.  I'd like to convert a bunch of 8bit flat headerless binary files (.dat) to 16bit, deleting the old 8bit files.  I've figured out that the FIX command is best, however I'm having difficulty getting it to wor...

										saving float array as a jpg or png. 
for example, 3 bands from a reflectance satellite image
I tried write_jpg and write_png. however, the picture did not show the image successfully. 
I guess the reason is the pixel value is between 0-1, not 0-255. So, what should i do to save a image as jpg or png files. thanks

										TV, PLOT positions do not coincide well  1208  2
										Started by  Deleted User
										
										
										
											
											
											
											
											
											
										
										
										I am writing a program in which I need to display an image within a set of axes (frequency vs. time with electric field power spectral density in color). The problem is that, while the position keyword specifies the lower left corner of the plotting region, the plot procedure draws the x and y axes on the inside of this space. So, when I plot my image using the same position that I supplied to the plotting routine, the image covers the x and y axes -- it is drawn on starting on the outer corner ...

XML-"noob" question here; stepping back into the world of IDL after a few years (different shops, different flavors..) and getting familiar w/8.1. Liking it.
I have to facilitate real-time data from my shop to both regional and national databases in XML format. The raw data resides in ASCII files on the local server, I'll format it appropriately and push it to the receiving end as soon as it comes in. 
Forgive my ignorance, I just stumbled onto it; but the IDL...

I realize I can pass a three-element color array, but I would like to know if there are any "defined" colors similar to charcoal.

Someone recently sent me some visualization program to try that can run with IDL VM. While we don't run IDL here I read everywhere that IDL VM is freely available, yet I receive a message saying I don't have authorization when I try to download.
Looking forward to seeing IDL in action!

										IDL VM  1720  5

										Hello,
I have an ENVI/IDL license but was asked by someone with no license how to set up an IDL virtual machine. I looked through the ITTVIS website and found tech tip 4633, which explains downloading the 'virtual machine' setup file, which turns out to be simply the IDL setup file. Does that mean the VM is simply an evaluation version of IDL or am I missing something here
Anyone can shed some light on this please
Thanks,

										Hi all--
I have a 250 MODIS scenes in WGS84 geographic coordinate system.  Using IDL, I need to determine the area occupied by pixels that meet a given condition in square kilometers.  Accuracy is very important, thus reprojection isn't an option since the scenes are about 10 degrees wide--much wider than a UTM zone.  
I have an idea for a workaround.  Since all of the pixels are "square" in terms of their decimal-degree dimensions, I could write an ArcPython script to de...
