NAME: spd_ui_cleanup_tplot PURPOSE: Abstracts the oft-repeated operation which identifies new tplot variables, and identifies variables that should be deleted CALLING SEQUENCE: tnames_before = tnames('*',create_time=cn_before) thm_load_state ;some operation spd_ui_cleanup_tplot,tnames_before,create_time_before=cn_before,del_vars=del_vars,new_vars=new_vars Inputs: tnames_before: a list of tplot names from before the operation in question Keywords: create_time_before(optional,input): This is an array of the create times associated with tnames_before This argument is only required if you want the list of new_vars new_vars(output): This will output an array of new tplot variable names, if create_time_before was specified del_vars(output): This will output an array of tplot variable names to delete. Note: The list of new variables and delete variables is generally not the same. Delete variables contains only names that did not exist before the operation, whereas new variables may contain names that pre-existed but were overwritten $LastChangedBy: jimm $ $LastChangedDate: 2014-02-11 10:54:32 -0800 (Tue, 11 Feb 2014) $ $LastChangedRevision: 14326 $ $URL: svn+ssh://thmsvn@ambrosia.ssl.berkeley.edu/repos/spdsoft/trunk/spedas/gui/utilities/spd_ui_cleanup_tplot.pro $
