IDL Interactive Data Language is a complete package for the interactive reduction, analysis, and visualisation of scientific data and images. Optimized for the workstation environment, IDL integrates a responsive array oriented language with numerous data analysis methods and an extensive variety of two and three dimensional displays into a powerful tool for researchers.

Developers can use C or FORTRAN programs via the 'call external' facility, 'Link-Image' or via library-style calls.

The licenses can also be orderded by a group or institute for their own purpose. Before ordering a new IDL license please contact us.
