如何在Python中使用IDL可视化例程

Question

I have a number of IDL visualization routines which I would prefer to be using in Python. These IDL visualization facilities provided a point-and-click interface with the cursor to see values and positions of pixels.

Is there a Python equivalent to this? If I were to rewrite these routines, how could I provide the same type of visualization facilities?

Answer 1

There is a Python bridge in IDL 8.5 which would allow you import your visualization routines into Python. Or you could port your visualization routines to a Python visualization library; the most common and general vis library in Python is matplotlib.
