<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hi
Hossein, <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>IDL is a
useful tool geared towards medical image processing, as well as
handling of large astronomical datasets. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>IDL is
Fortran and C based so if you are a fortran programmer and interested in
"lean routines" to accomplish numerical analysis then you'll like
IDL.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I'm an
IDL programmer migrating towards ITK/VTK development. They both have their
strengths. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>VTK has a
richer set of classes, multiple intrepreted language support, strong
integration from 3rd party libraries such as afsl<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>and
contributons from a wide open source community. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I think
I'll continue being an idl developer for prototyping programs till I fully
migrate to ITK/VTK.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
