; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
; SetDefaultValue, argument, defaultValue
;
; ARGUMENTS:
;
; argument: The augument variable you are setting the default value of. If this variable
; is undefined, the defaultValue will be assigned to it. Otherwise, the argument
; variable will not change.
;
; defaultValue: The default value that will be assigned to the argument variable ONLY if the argument
; variable is undefined. If this variable is undefined, the argument variable will
; be treated as if the BOOLEAN keyword had been set.
;
; KEYWORDS:
;
; BOOLEAN: If this keyword is set, the argument value will always be forced to return with a
; value of 0 or 1.
;
; EXAMPLE:
;
; FUNCTION Action, arg1, arg2, MULTIPLY=multiply
;
; SetDefaultValue, arg1, 1
; SetDefaultValue, arg2, 2
; SetDefaultValue, multiply, 1, /BOOLEAN
;
; IF multiply THEN RETURN, arg1 * arg2 ELSE RETURN, arg1 + arg2
;
; END
;
; MODIFICATION HISTORY:
;
; Written by: David W. Fanning, November 26, 2008, from suggestion by Carsten Lechte on
; IDL newsgroup on this date.
; Made a change to the way the BOOLEAN keyword works. Now argument is set to BOOLEAN before
; return, if required. 3 Dec 2008. DWF.
