You have your own personal IRIX workstation? Well, you must have more
money than I do... In any case, RSI would be a little hypocritical if
they started giving away the IRIX license for the student price given
that they have outright refused to let me purchase IDL for linux at
the student price :(

I hate to dust off and mount my linux soap-box but the thought of
actually paying money for a bloated M$ windows operating system just
so I can have the privilage using IDL at home is just silly. I am
doing a masters course in imaging having spent the past 5 years
writing visulization tools in the medical imaging industry. I write
all my assignments for my remote ensing and imaging courses in c++
and/or python and write data files that I can read using IDL in our
computer lab if I must. When our instructor realized that the student
version was only for windows, she revised her policy regarding
assignments so they could be coded in any language that students have
access to. To be honest, usng the IDL language for anything more
vizsualization is like coding in the stone ages anyways! It seems the
folks who implimented the IDL objects only read a quarter of thier CS
texts or did I miss something? If you need real visualization toolkit
use VTK.
