; NAME:
;       GETIMAGE
;
; PURPOSE:
;
;       The purpose of this function is to allow the user to open either
;       unformmated or XDR binary image files of up to eight dimensions.
;
; CATEGORY:
;
;       Widgets, File I/O.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
;       image = GETIMAGE(filename)
;
; OPTIONAL INPUTS:
;
;       filename: The name of the file to open for reading.
;
; OPTIONAL KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
;
;       CANCEL: An output variable that can be set to a named variable.
;       The value of the return variable will be 1 if the user clicked
;       the "Cancel" button or if there was a problem reading the file.
;
;       DATATYPE: The "type" of data you wish to read out of the file.
;       The data type corresponds to the Size(image, /TYPE) value. Here
;       are the types supported:
;
;       BYTE                   1 (default)
;       INTEGER                2
;       LONG INTEGER           3
;       FLOAT                  4
;       DOUBLE                 5
;       UNSIGNED INTEGER      12
;       UNSIGNED LONG INTEGER 13
;       64-bit LONG           14
;       64-bit UNSIGNED LONG  15
;
;
;
;       DIMENSIONS: A vector of image dimensions. The default value is [256, 256].
;
;       DIRECTORY: The name of the directory the file is located in. By
;       default the program looks in the "coyote" directory under the
;       main IDL directory, if one exists. Otherwise, it defaults to the
;       current directory.
;
;       ENDIAN: Set this keyword to an integer that indicates the byte
;       ordering of the data file. If you don't know what byte order means,
;       or you don't know anything about the byte order of the data, or
;       if you are sure the data was created on the same type of machine
;       you are now running IDL on, then just accept the default of 0 or
;       "native" ordering. If you are wrong, you will soon know it and you
;       can set the keyword to another value on your next try. :-)
;
;       If you know the machine was created on a big endian machine (such
;       as a Sun or HP workstation), set this value to 1 (Big Endian). If e
;       you are sur the image data was create on a little endian machine (such
;       as a Windows PC or laptop running LINUX), set the value to 2 (Little Endian).
;
;       HEADER: The size of any header information in the file in BYTES.
;       Default is 0.
;
;       HEADDATA: An optional output keyword that will contain the header
;       information read from the file.
;
;       PARENT: The group leader for this widget program. The PARENT is
;       required if GETIMAGE is called from another widget program in order
;       to make this program a MODAL widget program.
;
;       XDR: Set this keyword if the binary file is of XDR type. The default
;       type is "Unformatted".
;
;       XOFFSET: This is the X offset of the program on the display. The
;       program will be placed approximately in the middle of the display
;       by default.
;
;       YOFFSET: This is the Y offset of the program on the display. The
;       program will be placed approximately in the middle of the display
;       by default.
;
; COMMON BLOCKS:
;
;       None.
;
; SIDE EFFECTS:
;
;       A "CANCEL" operation is indicated by a 0 return value.
;       Any error in reading the file results in a 0 return value.
;
; EXAMPLE:
;       To load the image "galaxy.dat" in the $IDL/examples/data
;       directory, type:
;
;       image = GETIMAGE('galaxy.dat', DIRECTORY=!DIR + '/examples/data', $
;          DIMENSIONS=[256,256], Cancel=cancelled, Parent=event.top)
;       IF NOT cancelled THEN TV, image
;
; MODIFICATION HISTORY:
;       Written by: David Fanning, 3 February 96.
;       Fixed bug that prevented reading INTEGER data. 19 Dec 96.
;       Modifed program for IDL 5 MODAL operation. 19 Oct 97.
;       Added CANCEL keyword. 27 Oct 97. DWF.
;       Fixed CANCLE keyword spelling. Sigh... 29 JUN 98. DWF.
;       Added COYOTE_FIELD, improved appearance. 19 NOV 99. DWF.
;       Updated with latest version of COYOTE_FIELD. 18 FEB 2000. DWF.
;       Added CATCH keyword so the program will break when I want
;       it to. :-) 18 MAR 2000. DWF.
;       Added GROUP_LEADER keyword, which is synonymous with PARENT. 31 MAR 2000. DWF.
;       Updated obsolete PICKFILE call to DIALOG_PICKFILE. 17 JAN 2001. DWF.
;       Extensive update for IDL Programming Techniques, 3rd Edition. 1 November 2006. DWF.
;          XSIZE, YSIZE, CATCH, and FRAMES keyword made obsolete.
;          HEADDATA, ENDIAN, DATATYPE, DIMENSIONS keywords added.
;       Added ability to parse fully qualified file names passed from Dialog_Pickfile. 30 Oct 2010. DWF.
;       IF a file name is not passed into the program, it asks the user to select one now. 10 Jan 2011. DWF.
;       Problem with SWAP_ENDIAN keywords fixed. 7 March 2011. DWF.
