	Talk:IDL programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		IDL is probably faster than a non-well-crafted-by-the-user loop, but as fast as a well crafted one...
		I certainly don't want this to become a battleground page -- languages in particular are fodder for unproductive flame wars -- but I don't think that the Problems section does anything useful the way it stands now.
		Certainly IDL passes variables by reference, but indexed variables are passed by value.

	IDL programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		IDL, short for interactive data language, is a programming language which is a popular data analysis language among scientists.
		IDL is often confused, at the acronym level, with another (unrelated) "IDL": the Interface description language.
		IDL is vectorized, numerical, interactive, and is commonly used for interactive processing of large amounts of data (including image processing), right from the keyboard.

	OMG IDL
		IDL is not a programming language - it's great for defining interfaces, but it doesn't have the constructs you'd need to write a program.
		A mapping assigns a language variable type to each IDL variable type, and a translation from IDL's operation format to the language's invocation of a member function or other operation invocation format.
		Language mappings are very precise: When you apply an OMG language mapping to an IDL file, you always get the same language constructs out.

	www.cybermight.com programming - Programming languages
		Since programming languages are artificial languages, they require a high degree of discipline to accurately specify which operations are desired.
		Programming languages are not error tolerant; however, the burden of recognizing and using the special vocabulary is reduced by help messages generated by the programming language implementation.
		There are a few languages which offer a high degree of freedom in allowing self-modification in which a program re-writes parts of itself to handle new cases.

	The IDL Astronomy User's Library
		This IDL library the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is particularly useful for PAN a general-purpose curve fitting utility with a graphical user interface (last updated May 2005).
		IDL procedures have been developed at the National Astronomy and Ionospheric Center's Arecibo Observatory for reducing spectral line and mapping data.
		IDL data analysis package for single dish radio astronomy, that was designed for the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), but should be useable for any single dish radio telescope.

		The component creation mechanisms that are available in programming languages (such as constructors in Java) cannot be used to solve the problem because location specification has to be included.
		This is the approach taken by the OMG and IDL serves the purpose of this mediator.
		The standardisation of these programming language bindings will then facilitate the interoperability between distributed objects that are implemented in different programming languages to form so called polylingual applications.

	MMRRCC - download Extractor
		EXTRACTOR is a graphical user interface written in the IDL programming language (www.rsinc.com RSI, Inc., Boulder, CO).
		The program is a tool for the extraction and segmentation of sub-volumes from a 3D image data set.
		The program permits the interactive selection of standard image processing operations, including pixel intensity threshholding, seed growing, boundary tracing, and morphological dilation and erosion.

	IDL-to-Java mapping: Part One
		Language mappings are not trivial and a sizable part of the CORBA Specification is devoted to the many languages mappings.
		For example, an IDL exception might be mapped to a structure in a language that has no notion of exception, or to an exception in a language that does offer exceptions.
		Secondly, if you are using or supporting existing IDL interfaces then you have to test the incoming unsigned integer and ensure it is handled correctly as a negative number in the Java program or is copied to a variable of a larger type capable of carrying the greater values.

	Interactive Data Language (IDL) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		IDL stands for Interactive Data Language and is a modern general purpose computer language with many of the best features of other well known languages; the resulting combination is powerful and easy to use.
		While other languages may have similar capabilities none are as portable as IDL which is now available for most workstations, home computers, and some supercomputers.
		In the past it has not been a widely known language but now it is in a position for possible explosive growth, it could easily become one of the major languages of the 90s and beyond.

		IDL is devoted to geoscientists, but few palaeontologists actually use it, although it offers many useful tools through its large array of pre-packaged routines.
		IDL’s flexibility can be used to generate clear and straightforward visualizations of simulation results and interpolation methods for personal Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
		IDL was used in the first example to simulate the biodiversity evolution of planktonic species (and especially ammonoids) in the Early Triassic palaeogeographic context, based on a general 2D biogeographic model with a constrained spreading of random phylogenies.

	Object-Oriented Software Design and Programming [encyclopedia] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Object-oriented programming is a method of software implementation in which programs are organized as cooperative collections of objects, each of which represents an instance of some class, and whose classes are all members of a hierarchy of classes united via inheritance relationship.
		C++ is a general-purpose programming language with a bias towards systems programming, that supports low-level programming in traditional styles, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and generic programming.
		C++ was initially developed from the C programming language by the addition of facilities for object-oriented programming from the SIMULA programming language.

	Interface description language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It is essentially a common language for writing the "manual" on how to use a piece of software from another piece of software, in much the same fashion that a user manual describes how to use a piece of software to the user.
		IDLs are used in situations where the software on either side may not share common "call semantics", referring to the way the computer language "talks" to the routines.
		For instance, C programming language and Pascal programming language have different ways of calling routines, and in general cannot call code written in the other language.

		A programming language or computer language is a standardized communication technique for expressing instructions to a computer.
		A fifth-generation programming language is a programming language based around solving problems using constraints given to the program, rather than using an algorithm written by a programmer.
		The main difference between fourth-generation programming languages and fifth-generation languages is fourth-generation languages are designed to build specific programs while fifth generation languages are designed to make the computer solve the problem for you.

	IDL Programming Techniques, Second Edition
		Although the documentation has changed dramatically in the intervening years, it is still difficult for someone new to IDL to sift through the documentation, separating the twenty percent of the information they need daily from the eighty percent they need infrequently.
		For example, there is now a long chapter on creating IDL objects, which have changed everything about the way I write IDL programs these days.
		I've also added a number of new IDL programs to my programming library for you to use with this book, including new programs for displaying your own graphics in resizeable graphics windows and for easy user configuration of the PostScript and Printer devices.

		An IDL compiler translates the IDL specification into IDL stubs (for clients) and IDL skeletons (for servers)in the appropriate programming language.
		IDL largely resembles C++ syntax since OMG felt that C++ programmers constitute the largest object-oriented developer market (then).
		But, IDL is more restrictive than C++ since it must be mapped into other languages such as C, Ada95, and FORTRAN.
