NAME:
IMAGE_VIEWER
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this program is to provide an interactive tool that can be used
to view JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, and TIFF picture files. Images are loaded into
memory, so the initial file access may take a while, but once each picture has
been opened they can all be viewed in a very rapid fashion.

SIDE EFFECTS:
While this program is running in an IDL session it will change the current
working directory, enables/disables color decomposition, and sets !QUIET=1,
!ORDER=0, & !P.BACKGROUND=0. These settings are returned to their initial
settings before the program was initiated once it is terminated.
RESTRICTIONS:
This program is supported in IDL version 5.5 and newer. In order to open
GIF files or TIFF files with LZW compression the copy of IDL being used must
be licensed with these features. IDL only supports BMP files in the standard
Windows format and does not support OS2 bitmaps.
