IDL Examples
Description

Using the examples
After you have downloaded and uncompressed the examples, go to the "materials" directory and follow the instructions below.
To run the examples - start IDL in the materials directory. Then use ".run" to
execute the procedure, e.g.
% idl
IDL> .run pro/shade_surf.pro
The workflow examples given in the workshop are:
sphscan.pro - generates a .obj file with no color info
sphscan_intens.pro - generates an output file suitable for input
to OpenGL and OpenSceneGraph examples
sphscan_mtl.pro - generates a .obj file which, when taken with
an appropraite .mtl file and colormap image
can be used to assign vertex color
