Animations

Computed Tomography Animation (Skull)
This visualization displays computed tomography data that has been rendered using IDL. The data rotates in 3D space, with soft tissues rendered in clear blues and harder tissues (i.e. bone) rendered in whites. The animation uses Java technology. You can get Java at www.java.com . That site is a consumer-oriented Sun Microsystems site designed for end-users. It provides a free download and installation of just what is needed to run Java programs such as this animation.

Computed Tomography Animation (Foot)

Computed Tomography Animation (Feet)
This animation is similar to the above animations, with hard tissues slightly more opaque.

Andrew Cool's MRI
This animation shows a transparent view of IDL user Andrew Cool's brain circa 1998. The animation was generated from MRI data using IDL.

IDL Tips

XOBJVIEW: Under the Hood
XOBJVIEW is an IDL command that was introduced in IDL 5.3. How does it work? This tip highlights some of the useful code that underlies the XOBJVIEW command. In addition, suggested code fixes and enhancements are provided.
