I was wondering, is there a simple way to convert a code from MATLAB to IDL? I am trying to run a previously written MATLAB script to create a 3d anaglyph from two images in FreeMat, but it is very slow. I've recently received a temporary license for IDL 8.3, which I would love to replicate this code in, as I believe both languages are capable of doing this.
But since I am still very unfamiliar with IDL I am having difficulty doing so. Any advice/help for converting this would be fantastic!

Well, you could download the following tool, and reverse engineer it:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/idl2matlab/
I don't understand why they chose IDL -> Matlab, as *clearly* you would always want to go the other direction, just as you propose.
Your main things to watch out for are the "backwards" arrays in Matlab - they use row-major ordering instead of IDL's column-major. Some google searches will help you out here.
Good luck!

Matlab is 1-indexed, too -- IDL uses 0-based indexing for arrays.

Hi all,
I have downloaded and installed the matlab2IDL from the sourceforge however, I have a problem that I do not know how can I use the toolbox to convert my idl codes into matlab .m-files.
I would appreciate any help that you can provide.
All the best,
Sahar
