3.5.3 XMOVIE

It is possible to load a data cube into a widget to be ``animated'' using the routine XMOVIE (which is simply an interface for IDL's XINTERANIMATE).   The speed which the frames can be displayed is quite fast. There are some memory restrictions which do not allow large data cubes. Some sample calls are:
IDL> xmovie, data

IDL> xmovie, data, ss=ss

IDL> xmovie, data, 4
The second positional parameter is optional and is the rebinning factor. This is quite useful when looking at small 6464 PFI images.
