This extension adds a new tab to the built-in scripting window in Opticks. This new tab in the scripting window allows you to write IDL code from within Opticks. The extension adds 45 new functions to IDL to interface between Opticks and IDL. This includes the ability to move Opticks image data back and forth to IDL arrays. It also includes the ability to create new windows in Opticks and modify what's displayed in those windows. You can also interface this extension with the built-in wizard ability of Opticks to create "one-click" buttons in Opticks that can run a very complicated IDL script or series of IDL scripts.
How do I get started with IDL?
- Make sure you have a copy of IDL installed with a valid license. You will need to buy a copy of IDL from Exelis Visual Information Systems.
- This extension currently supports IDL 6.1, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0 and 7.1.
- Download and install this extension. Learn how to install Opticks extensions.
- Configure the extension to use your IDL installation. Go to "Tools\Options..." once Opticks is started and then find "Scripting\IDL Interpreter" on the left-hand side of the "Options" dialog. Browse to the location of the "idl.dll" and then select the version of IDL that you have installed.
- Open up the "Scripting Window" in Opticks and find the "IDL" tab. Start writing some IDL code.
