;; Function ~stokes/src/idl/a_image.pro is now available.   The routine
;; selects and calls one of b_image.pro, c_image.pro, e_image.pro
;; or s_image.pro.
;; 
;; It is hoped that a_image.pro is natural to use ('natural to use'
;; is not the same as 'easy to document').
;; 
;; With a_image.pro comes some upgraded terminology.  'Neighbor interpolated'
;; replaces 'stretched'.  'Zenith frame' replaces 'local frame'.
;; 
;; Consider example sequence of statements:
;; 
;; (1)    b_cct = a_image( '/hilo/d/asp/data/red/92.06.19/o7/a__cct', b $
;; (2)          , ref_frame='instrument', bkg=0. )
;; (3)    b_fld = a_image( '/hilo/d/asp/data/red/92.06.19/o7/a_fld' , b $
;; (4)          , ref_frame='instrument', bkg=0. )
;; (5)
;; (6)    c_cct = a_image( '/hilo/d/asp/data/red/92.06.19/o7/a__cct', c $
;; (7)          , ref_frame='zenith', bkg=0., pix_deg=50. )
;; (8)    c_fld = a_image( '/hilo/d/asp/data/red/92.06.19/o7/a_fld' , c $
;; (9)          , ref_frame='zenith', bkg=0., pix_deg=50. )
;; (10)
;; (11)   e_cct = a_image( '/hilo/d/asp/data/red/92.06.19/o7/a__cct', e $
;; (12)         , ref_frame='disk', bkg=0., pix_deg=50. )
;; (13)   e_fld = a_image( '/hilo/d/asp/data/red/92.06.19/o7/a_fld' , e $
;; (14)         , ref_frame='disk', bkg=0., pix_deg=50. )
;; 
;; With some simplifications allowed by the code, lines (1 to 14) can be
;; replace by ( bkg=0. and pix_deg=50. are the defaults ):
;; 
;; (15)   dty = '/hilo/d/asp/data/red/92.06.19/o7/'
;; (16)
;; (17)   b_cct = a_image( dty+'a__cct', b )   ;Default ref_frame='instrument'
;; (18)   b_fld = a_image( dty+'a_fld' , b )
;; (19)
;; (20)   c_cct = a_image( dty+'a__cct', c , ref='z' )
;; (21)   c_fld = a_image( dty+'a_fld' , c )
;; (19)
;; (20)   e_cct = a_image( dty+'a__cct', e , ref='d' )
;; (21)   e_fld = a_image( dty+'a_fld' , e )
;; 
;; Equivalent code using b_image.pro, c_image.pro and e_image.pro would be:
;; 
;; (17)   dty = '/hilo/d/asp/data/red/92.06.19/o7/'
;; (18)
;; (19)   b_cct = b_image( dty+'a__cct', b_str=b  )
;; (20)   b_fld = b_image( dty+'a_fld' , b_str=b, /reuse )
;; (21)
;; (22)   c_cct = c_image( dty+'a__cct', c_str=c  )
;; (23)   c_fld = c_image( dty+'a_fld' , c_str=c, /reuse )
;; (21)
;; (22)   e_cct = e_image( dty+'a__cct', e_str=e  )
;; (23)   e_fld = e_image( dty+'a_fld' , e_str=e, /reuse )
;; 
;;             ----------------------------------------------
;; 
;; Reference frame in a_image.pro is picked by keyword ref_frame.
;; Choices for reference frame are 'instrument', 'zenith' and 'disk'.
;; 
;; ref_frame = 'instrument':
;; 
;;     Reference frame returned by b_image.pro.
;;     It is a neighbor interpolation of the 'instrument' frame.
;;     (x,y) coordinates correspond to the data as worked on by the Stokes
;;     inversion code.
;; 
;; ref_frame = 'zenith':
;; 
;;     Reference frame returned by c_image.pro.
;;     It is a neighbor interpolation of 'instrument' frame.
;;     (x,y) coordinates are for observer looking down the normal to solar
;;     surface at the site where data was taken.
;;     X increases to west along constant hiliocentric latitude.
;;     Y is 90 degrees CCW from X.
;; 
;; ref_frame = 'disk':
;; 
;;     Reference frame returned by e_image.pro.
;;     It is a neighbor interpolation of 'instrument' frame.
;;     (x,y) coordinates for an observer looking normal to solar disk center.
;;     X increases to west and is parallel to the line drawn from observed
;;     disk center to solar west.
;;     Y is 90 degrees CCW from X and is parallel to central the meridian.
;; 
;;              ---------------------------------------
;; 
;; Some things to note are (not all are in above examples):
;; 
;; (A) a_image.pro returns the structure as a second (optional) argument.
;;     The older programs used keywords.
;; 
;; (B) a_image.pro does not have keyword 'reuse'.
;; 
;;     The structures has info about 'ref_frame' and 'pix_deg'.
;;     The structures also has the directory path for the a_* file data set. 
;;     a_image.pro will reuse an input structure if keywords are not explicitly
;;     reset.
;; 
;; (C) Files corresponding to an a_* data set are sometimes written to other
;;     directories.  a_image.pro can read these files if it has input the
;;     structure as input.
;; 
;; (D) Reference frame will default to 'instrument' if not given by
;;     keyword and the structure has to be computed or recomputed.
;; 
;; (E) Only the first character for keyword 'ref_frame' is checked.
;;     ref_frame='zenith', ref='z', ref='zzzz' are the same thing.
;;     (Standard IDL allows abbreviation of keyword names to shortest
;;     unambiguous case.)
;; 
;; For more information see usage information in the source.
