XVIEW is a simple image viewing widget with a few processing tools available. Screen windows may also be saved as images in a number of formats. XVIEW is not meant to be a complete image procesing tool, it is useful for loading an image to a screen window where IDL can then do more processing. The result may be saved to an image file using XVIEW. A few basic image tools are provided and the user may add custom processing (see help for the buttons).
