About this title

Synopsis

This book describes the essential IDL (Interactive Data Language) programming techniques readers need to write programs in the IDL language. It not only covers all the basics of line plots, contour and surface plots, image display, color handling, and hardcopy output, but it is also the only book currently available that shows readers how to write an IDL program with a graphical user interface and how to create and use objects in IDL. It is full of examples, tips, and tricks IDL programmers need to write powerful and elegant IDL programs. The book describes over 50 IDL programs that can be used to enhance the reader's own IDL programs.
