ION Java Examples

ION Java combines both IDL, the Interactive Data Language, and Java into a single, powerful tool for building Web-based applications. Both IDL and Java are cross-platform, interpreted languages. In contrast to Java, IDL is specifically designed for the visualization and analysis of large, multi-dimensional technical datasets. With its simple syntax, array-oriented architecture, and rich library of analysis and visualization routines, IDL is the language of choice for technical professionals. Ideal for client-server applications or Web-applets, ION Java gives Java developers the power to deploy their applications for data sharing and data analysis more rapidly.
