All of the images, processing, and calculations shown in the IDL Tour are being performed LIVE by IDL. The tour may be started by typing "idl_tour" at the IDL prompt: IDL> idl_tour To go to a particular subject in the tour, select an item from the subject menus. The following buttons also allow you to navigate through the subjects: |< PREV - Go to the PREVIOUS subject. [STOP] - STOP the animation, or quit "AUTO" mode. NEXT >| - Go to the NEXT subject. AUTO >> - Move through the subjects AUTOMATICALLY, with timed pauses ("AUTO" mode). The "AUTO" pause time and the animation speed can be controlled by selecting "Options" from the "File" menu. Many sections in the tour provide additional interactive controls at the bottom of the main window. These controls can be used any time that they are visible - including when in "AUTO" mode.
