We have Matlab and also an evaluation copy of IDL. IDL has _very_
nice graphics (much better than Matlab) and is priced realistically
if you are an educational user. It is also very quick at processing
images (Matlab is not). But our initial impressions of the IDL
language are not favourable. It looks quite FORTRANy and there is
quite a restricted set of mathematical functions. I believe IDL is
fast because it compiles routines (Matlab tokenizes them I think).
Why not get an evaluation copy of IDL (fully featured version
30 day trial)? I'm not sure if there's a similar scheme for Matlab.
Hope this helps.
