[IDV #YVT-139096]: Text Point Data and Radar Images

Hi Greg-

That doesn't just work? ;-)

I guess I'm not understanding what you want.  If you load in
the text point data as a plot, you should get a timestep for each
data point.  If you then add in the radar images, their times will
be added to the animation time steps.  You can remove those by 
unchecking the View->Use Times in Animation checkbox in the radar
display control's menu.  If you turn on animation, you should
show the plane position moving and the image at the closest
time should also be shown.  Is that not what you want?
