IDL library

My IDL library is moved to https://github.com/nikolavitas/idl

This is the list of the IDL routines that I published in these pages. They are listed by categories.  Please read the license statement below.

The references relevant for each of the routines (references to the papers describing the algorithms and or the data) are included in their headers. Please acknowledge them appropriately if using any of these in a publication.


Many of these routines were written in the course of my daily work. Often I didn't have time to fully test them,  thus it may be that some of them are not applicable to certain classes of problems or that they contain bugs, mistakes, typos, errors, etc. So, please, use them with caution. I would be grateful if you let me know about any problems that you find (and - of course - about the positive experiences as well).
