; NAME:
;   FSC_Display
;
; PURPOSE:
;   The purpose of FSC_Display is to open a graphics window on the display, or in the
;   PostScript device, or in the Z-graphics buffer, depending upon the current graphics
;   device. In PostScript a window of the proper aspect ratio is created with PSWindow.
;   Using FSC_Display to open "windows" will allow you to more easily write device-independent
;   IDL programs.

; :Description:
;   The purpose of FSC_Display is to open a graphics window on the display, or in the
;   PostScript device, or in the Z-graphics buffer, depending upon the current graphics
;   device. In PostScript a window of the proper aspect ratio is created with PSWindow.

;
; :Categories:
;    Graphics
;    
; :Params:
;    xsize: in, optional, type=integer, default=640
;         The X size of the graphics window created. By default, 640.
;    ysize: in, optional, type=integer, default=512
;         The Y size of the graphics window created. By default, 512.
;         
; :Keywords:
;    color: in, optional, type=string/integer, default='white'
;        If this keyword is a string, the name of the data color. By default, 'white'.
;        Color names are those used with FSC_Color. Otherwise, the keyword is assumed 
;        to be a color index into the current color table. The color is not used if
;        the "window" is opened in PostScript on the Z-graphics buffer.
;    free: in, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;         Set this keyword to open a window with a free or unused window index number.
;         This keyword applied only to graphics windows created on the computer display.
;    wid: in, optional, type=integer, default=0
;         The window index number of the IDL graphics window to create.
;    xsize: in, optional, type=integer, default=640
;         The X size of the graphics window created. By default, 640. The XSIZE parameter 
;         is used in preference to the XSIZE keyword value.
;    ysize: in, optional, type=integer, default=512
;         The Y size of the graphics window created. By default, 512. The YSIZE parameter 
;         is used in preference to the YSIZE keyword value.
;     _extra: in, optional, type=any
;         Any keywords supported by the WINDOW command are allowed.
;         
; :Examples:
;    Use like the IDL WINDOW command::
;       IDL> FSC_Display, XSIZE=500 YSIZE=400
;       IDL> FSC_Display, 500, 500, WID=1, COLOR='gray'

; :History:
;     Change History::
;        Written, 15 November 2010. DWF.
;        Changes so that color variables don't change type. 23 Nov 2010. DWF.
;        Moved the window index argument to the WID keyword. 9 Dec 2010. DWF.
;        Modified to produce a window in PostScript and the Z-buffer, too. 15 Dec 2010. DWF.
;        Added the FREE keyword. 3 January 2011. DWF.
