The Load SeaWiFS Level-0 Product Selection Widgets

Description:  This procedure reads only SeaWiFS Level 0 or HRPT files.  It can display regions of the full-resolution data or sub-sample the data.  The user-specified bands are loaded and made available for display.

Notes: These files can be very large.  It is suggested that a high sample rate is selected until you become accustomed to the limitations of your system.
