ENVI-IDL

IDL is the trusted scientific programming language used across disciplines to create meaningful visualizations out of complex numerical data. From small scale analysis programs to widely deployed applications, IDL provides the comprehensive computing environment you need to effectively get information from your data. IDL is the premier solution to get information from data, regardless of your prior programming experience.

EXTENSIBILITY
Your image analysis workflow should be based upon your project requirements and not software limitations. ENVI is developed using IDL, a powerful development language that is easily accessible from ENVI, allowing you to extend and customize ENVI features and functionality to fit your image analysis requirements and specific project needs.
