I certainly would have liked to see some of the above programs. I ran into
a large wall last year trying to make movies of hyperspectral data. It
seemed everyone weanted movies of it, so I ended up tieing together
several applications on a Mac to make them. It would have been great to
just pop up a dialog asking for the output format and have IDL handle it.
Another area that I recall being tossed around for the next (now current)
release of IDL was a standalone output command of some sort. Basically, a
way to provide applications to someone without having to provide an IDL
license. Any word on progress toward that?
