[IDV #PGR-337100]: problem with colobar

Hi Katie,

The display attribute is the id of the display control that we get the color 
bar from.
Load in the bundle you are using and bring up the properties for the display 
control whose color 
bar you want to use. There is an "ID:" field in the dialog. Set the id to be 
"143" (or
whatever you use in the isl script) and save off the bundle.

You can also just turn on the display of the color bar in the main view window 
for the
display control through the properties. Then, save off the bundle and don't use 
the colorbar
tag in your isl. The movie will just capture whatever is being shown. With this 
you don't have the
exact control over color bar placement as you do when using the colorbar tag 
though.
