HELP SECTION

PLAYR
Type: Task
Use:  PLAYR loads 2 cataloged images into two television image
      memories.  Then interactive options are offered.  This is
      a demo of TV DEVICE object code.
Adverbs:
  USERID......User ID of owner of image.  0 => current user,
                32000 => any user.
  INNAME......Image name(name).       Standard defaults.
  INCLASS.....Image name(class).      Standard defaults.
  INSEQ.......Image name(seq. #).     0 => highest.
  INDISK......Disk drive # of image.  0 => any.
  TBLC........The Bottom Left-hand pixel of the subarray of
              the map to be displayed. The value (0,0,...)
              means take the entire first plane of the image.
  TTRC........The Top Right-hand pixel of the subarray of
              the map to be displayed.  The value (0,0) means
              take the entire plane of the image.
  TXINC.......Load every TXINC'th column beginning at TBLC.
              TXINC = -1 => interpolate columns to fill as much
              of the screen as possible.  TXINC = -2 =>
              interpolate one column between image columns (if
              possible), -3 => 2 interpolated columns, etc.
  TYINC.......Load every TYINC'th row beginning at TBLC.
              TYINC = -1 => interpolate rows to fill as much of
              the screen as possible.  TYINC = -2 =>
              interpolate one row between image rows (if
              possible), -3 => 2 interpolated rows, etc.
  TVCHAN......Image channel to load.     0 => 1.
  TV2CHAN.....2nd Image channel to load.     0 => none.
  TVCORN......TV pixel location (X,Y) of the bottom left-corner
              of the image.  0 => center on TV
  PIXRANGE....Min,Max intensity to display. 0 => entire range.
  FUNCTYPE....Image intensity transfer function
              'LN' => linear;        'NE' => negative lin.
              'LG' => log;           'NG' => negative log;
              'L2' => extreme log;   'N2' => negative extra log;
              'SQ' => square root,;  'NQ' => negative square root;
              others => linear.
  UVWTFN......FUNCTYPE for second image.
  DETIME......Delay time in seconds (>= 120) to quit if you stop
              playing.
  LTYPE.......Labelling type, see HELP LTYPE for details:
              1 = border, 2 = no ticks, 3 or 7 = standard, 4 or 8 =
              relative to ref. pixel, 5 or 9 = relative to subimage
              (BLC, TRC) center, 6 or 10 = pixels.  7-10 all labels
              other than tick numbers and axis type are omitted.
              Less than 0 is the same except that the plot file
              version number and create time are omitted.
              Add n * 100 to alter the metric scaling.
  DOCIRCLE....False (<= 0) means that tick marks are short lines
              extending inward from the plot borders.  True (>0)
              requests that a full coordinate grid be drawn.
  SCALR1......Specifies the width of any step wedges.  0 => -16
              < 0 => set position with the cursor.
  DOWEDGE.....Specifies the number of contours to use with
              OFMCONTOUR and OFMWEDGE.  Can be reset
              interactively.  <= 0 => 8.
  OFMFILE.....Name of the OFM file to be gotten, saved, zapped.
              Can be changed interactively.
  CBPLOT......Selects the corner in which the half-power beam plot is
              placed
                  0: no beam plot
                  1: lower left
                  2: lower right
                  3: upper right
                  4: upper left
              < 0 -> plot as abs(CBPLOT) but erase any graphics in the
              area of the beam plot
