CGDEMODATA
The purpose of this function is to read a selection of standard
data sets that are found in the normal IDL distribution in the
subdirectory $IDL_DIR/examples/data. At least 25 data sets are
available in all categories of data. The user selects one of the
possible data sets with the mouse. Several of the data sets
simply create data used to illustrate graphics commands (numbers 1-3),
and two of the data sets produce random data. Data set 17 produces
a random vector of 101 elements. Data set 18 produces a 2D array of
random values, suitable for display as a contour plot or image.
