Integrate with Other Applications Using IDL

IDL is a flexible and extensible visualization, analysis, and development environment that easily integrates with the other software tools you use. IDL provides a host of ways to import code and functionality from other programming languages and advanced methods for exporting IDL capabilities to your applications written in other languages.

• Make the most of your investment in existing code. Call programs and libraries written in other languages from within IDL, or call IDL as a subroutine in applications written in other languages.
• Import existing Java or COM objects into IDL applications and control them using IDL syntax.
• Export your IDL code as a Java object for inclusion in applications written in Java running on any platform supported by IDL. Or, export your IDL code as a COM object for inclusion in a Windows application written in C#, Visual Basic, or any other COM-based programming environment.
