Click on one upper-case entry if you want to load an image. Multiple
upper-case entries will (hopefully) generate a montage or blinking animation.
Click on one or more lower-case entries to overlay contour plots.
On some machines (e.g. PCs with windows) you may need to hold down the
CTRL key while clicking for multiple choices with the mouse.
