Detailed Description

A class to start IDL and execute commands, etc.

Intended use:

Public interface

Prerequisite

IDL libraries

Etymology

IDL is the class for running IDL from inside AIPS++

Synopsis

We can start IDL, execute commands, send and retreive named arrays, etc using this class. The initial use of this class is to allow Pixon processing to be performed using the IDL code.

Example

Motivation

Get access to IDL functionality
