CGSETUNION
This function is used to find the union between two sets of integers.
One alternative for the cgSetUnion algorithm, provided by Maarten Sneep, is simply this::
superset = [set_a, set_b]
union = superset[Uniq(superset, Sort(superset))]

Returns

Params
set_a: in, required, type=integer

set_b: in, required, type=integer
A vector of integers.
Keywords
count: out, optional, type=long
Set this keyword to a named variable containing the number of integers found in the union.
Examples
IDL> set_a = [1,2,3,4,5]
IDL> set_b = [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]
IDL> Print, cgSetUnion(set_a, set_b)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
