• Built in arithmetic for manipulation of all supported data types.
• Support for solving linear systems of equations via the divide operators.
• Eigenvalue and singular value decompositions
• Full control structure support (including, for, while, break, continue, etc.)
• 2D plotting and image display
• Heterogeneous array types (called “cell arrays” in MATLAB-speak) fully supported
• Full support for dynamic structure arrays
• Arbitrary-size FFT support
• Pass-by-reference support (an IDL feature)
• Keyword support (an IDL feature)
• Codeless interface to external C/C++/FORTRAN code
