Hi All,
Can anybody give me the 'thin.pro' file which is missing in my idl library. Googled it quite a few times to get the source file but nothing found.
Thanks in advance.

The thin() function is a built-in. That is, it's not in a .pro file. It's like cos, sin, etc., and may be written in C or some other language. For comparison, the "morph_thin" function is written in IDL.
Generally speaking, library routines written in .pro will have documentation at the start with text like this:
"This routine is written in the IDL language. Its source code can be found in the file morph_thin.pro in the lib subdirectory of the IDL distribution."
See, for example, http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/MORPH_THIN.html and http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/THIN.html.
