displayBasicImage( label, loc )
  Displays the file at a given location as an image in a graphical viewer. `label` may be any string which identifies the window for display, so that multiple images may be displayed in different windows without getting in each others' way. `loc` should be a filename or URL, pointing to an image in a format that this viewer understands.
