EASILY INTEGRATES WITH OTHER APPLICATIONS: IDL is a flexible and extensible visualization, analysis, and development environment that easily integrates with the other software tools you use.With an extensive library of prebuilt analysis and visualization routines, IDL is the choice for programmers of any experience level. Because the IDL language is based on intuitive and easy-to-learn rules and conventions, you can create visualization programs and even full-blown applications with fewer lines of code.

A MODERN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE: The dynamically typed nature of IDL gives you more flexibility in your programming than a static language, saving you valuable time and allowing you to focus on data analysis and visualization, rather than on programming details.IDL is the programming language of choice for many scientists and engineers because it’s easy to learn, easy to use, and requires fewer lines of code than other programming languages, making it easier and faster to go from data to discovery. With IDL you can interpret your data, expedite discoveries, and deliver powerful applications to market. IDL is the trusted scientific programming language used across disciplines to extract meaningful visualizations from complex numerical data.
