Hi All,

My company want to develop a new Windows application to process
hydrographic survey data and amongst many other products, we are
considering IDL and PV-WAVE. Although they both seem to have very good
built-in functions for data analysis and visualization and a 4GL
interface to allow expert users to customise their use of the final
processing software, I get the impression that developing a good
graphical user interface will be a major chore. A few questions for
you;

1. Is it correct that neither IDL nor PV-WAVE have a GUI builder and
that it all has to be manually coded?
2. I've seen PV-WAVE in action on a Windows XP PC but it looked like
an old-fashioned Motif application with no way of resizing the Window.
Is this still the case in the latest version? What about IDL, does it
look pretty similar?
3. Is there a recommended way of getting a modern Windows GUI with IDL
or PV-WAVE doing the heavy work in the background?

My apologies in advance if these questions are a bit simple but I've
tried to find out the answers on the various websites and got nowhere.

Regards,
