IDL is the reliable scientific programming language used in many disciplines to extract meaningful visualizations of complex numerical data. With IDL, you can interpret your data, streamline discoveries, and deliver powerful applications to the market.
IDL is the reliable scientific programming language used in many disciplines to extract meaningful visualizations of complex numerical data. With IDL, you can interpret your data, streamline discoveries, and deliver powerful applications to the market.
IDL is the programming language preferred by many scientists and engineers because it is easy to learn, easy to use, and requires fewer lines of code than other programming languages, making it easier and speeding up data to discovery.
A modern programming language
The dynamically typed nature of IDL offers more flexibility in your programming than a static language, saving valuable time and allowing you to focus on data analysis and visualization rather than programming details. Because the IDL language is based on intuitive and easy-to-learn rules and conventions, you can create visualization programs and even complete applications with fewer lines of code. With an extensive library of pre-built analytics and visualization routines, IDL is the choice for programmers of any level of experience.
Easy integration with other applications
IDL is a flexible and extensible visualization, analysis, and development environment that easily integrates with other software tools you use. IDL provides a number of ways to import code and functionality from other programming languages and advanced methods to export IDL features to your applications written in other languages.
Access virtually any type of data
IDL provides built-in support for the data sources, data types, file formats, and file sizes that you use. Receive data from remote servers or burn files to a disk or remote location using common protocols. IDL acts as a client for HTTP and FTP servers and provides access to common Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) servers, such as web map service (WMS) and Web Coverage Service (WCS).
