As of last year, one of the biggest differences between IDL and PV-WAVE was the
fact that you could not call IDL routines from within a C or Fortran application,
something which PV-WAVE allows you to do pretty easily. For instance, if are
writing an application in Fortran and have a data array you wish to plot, you can
just pass it to PV-WAVE in memory and use one of its plotting routines. With IDL,
you would have to store the array to disk, then invoke IDL to read the data and
plot it. Perhaps RSI has added such features to IDL recently.
