SyntaxCommands and functions have parameters and keywords. The keywords are named in the calling sequence: IDL> plot,x,y,xrange=[10,1000],color=5,/ylog Here xrange and color are explicitly set to their values. The ylog
keyword is boolean (if = 1, the plot will be in log scale on the Y axe, else linear scale will be
used). Keywords can be abreviate: IDL>
plot , x , y , xrange=[0,200] are equivalent. The help can be called from outside idl, under Unix, by idlhelp, or within an IDL session, by: IDL> ? This help is a Hypertext manual pages and most of what you need is inside. If you need information on a variable (like: is toto a double precision real or not?), you can examine it by: IDL> help , toto When you are finished: IDL> exit |
