IDL Astronomy Library Search Page

This page provides a search of the one-line descriptions of procedures in the IDL Astronomy Library (including all the contrib directories except /varosi ). The search includes procedures from the Markwardt , Fanning, and ITTVIS contributed libraries and most intrinsic IDL procedures. Type in a string (procedure name(s), word(s), part of a word) in the box to search through the libraries.

Enter a string or several strings (separated by spaces) here to search the libraries:

Place a + in front of a required string, a - in front of an excluding string, and place "double quotes" around a string containing a space. For example: +fit spline linear -gauss -"fits header" will find all procedures whose headers contain fit, but do not contain either gauss or fits header, and do contain either spline or linear.

This search page does not include IDL graphics keywords, system variables, executive commands, operators (e.g. the mod operator) or obsolete routines. Use the IDL online help files instead.

Another search page for IDL procedures is available at the U. of Washington Astronomy IDL Page (last updated 21-Dec-2000). This page includes a much larger database of public IDL libraries, but may not be current with the IDL Astronomy Library. For procedures related to solar astronomy, also check the SolarSoft Library Search
