I am currently involved in teaching and developing the following courses at the Center for Imaging Science in the College of Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology 1051.211.01 Programming for Imaging Science (Winter) View Evaluations This course will introduce the student to the IDL environment as a data visualization tool and a programming language. The student will learn the various capabilities of the package and how they can rapidly prototype solutions to various science and engineering problems. As these solutions are developed, fundamental concepts of programming and data structures will be introduced. Programming assignments will include fundamental imaging related problems and will work with scalar, vector and array processes. This course will emphasize the need for concrete problem definition, problem decomposition into smaller sub-problems, implementation/testing, and presentation/documentation of the algorithms and results.

Defining functions and procedures Lecture 2: Programming in IDL This lecture covers the nuts and bolts of IDL programming. There won't be much graphics but we will look at many things which will help you to make good use of IDL. This is the bit of the course where I assume that you can program in C or Fortran. I will, for example, explain what sorts of variables there are in IDL, but I won't explain what a variable is in any detail. If you don't like the way I present the material, the place to look it up is the section of the on-line manual called ``Building IDL Applications''. Variables, data types As with most languages, IDL has several types of variables. I list some of them here: type range bytes to define to convert byte to 255 b=15B b=byte(x) integer -32768 to +32767 i=15 i=fix(x) long -2147483648 to +2147483647 j=long(15) j=long(x) j=147483647 floating pt , 7 sig figs y=1.7

31. CORBA And Java Technologies The ORB supports both the RMI over IIOP and Java idl programming models. The idl programming model, known as JavaTM IDL, consists of both the Java CORBA http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/corba/

CORBA Technology and the Java TM 2 Platform, Standard Edition The Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v1.4, provides an Object Request Broker (ORB) and two CORBA programming models that can utilize the Java CORBA ORB and Internet InterORB Protocol (IIOP). This topic discusses these options for creating and distributing CORBA technology. CORBA technology is an integral part of the Java 2 platform. It consists of an Object Request Broker (ORB) , APIs for the the RMI programming model , and APIs for the the IDL programming model For more information on which specifications are implemented in this release of the Java platform, see the compliance document. How does J2SE leverage CORBA Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) technology is the open standard for heterogeneous computing. CORBA complements the Java TM platform by providing a distributed object framework, services to support that framework, and interoperability with other languages. The Java platform complements CORBA by providing "Write Once, Run Anywhere TM " portability, a highly productive implementation environment, and a very robust platform. By combining the Java platform with CORBA and other key enterprise technologies, the Java 2 Platform is the ultimate platform for distributed technology solutions.

32. Java IDL Programming Concepts Java idl programming Concepts. This topic includes the following sections. Exceptions Initializations The FactoryFinder Interface http://e-docs.bea.com/tuxedo/tux80/idl2java/program.htm

BEA Home Events Solutions Partners ... Index Java IDL Programming Concepts This topic includes the following sections: Exceptions Initializations The FactoryFinder Interface Exceptions CORBA has two types of exceptions: standard system exceptions, which are fully specified by the OMG, and user exceptions, which are defined by the individual application programmer. CORBA exceptions differ slightly from Java exception objects, but those differences are largely handled in the mapping from IDL-to-Java. Topics in this section include: Differences Between CORBA and Java Exceptions System Exceptions User Exceptions Minor Code Meanings Differences Between CORBA and Java Exceptions To specify an exception in IDL, the interface designer uses the raises keyword. This is similar to the throws specification in Java. When you use the exception keyword in IDL, you create a user-defined exception. The standard system exceptions need not (and cannot) be specified this way. System Exceptions CORBA defines a set of standard system exceptions, which are generally raised by the ORB libraries to signal systemic error conditions including: Server-side system exceptions, such as resource exhaustion or activation failure.

Spamalize/IDL Programming Tips This page contains an introduction to programming in IDL , in the style that is embodied by Spamalize . There are also several tutorials available for IDL programming in general. Most of the Spamalize routines involve a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that displays parameters, options, and images, and then some programs that actually do the work. The bulk of this page is devoted to the nuts and bolts of Spamalize , so you can figure out how to steal pieces of Spamalize code to include in your own IDL application. Alternately, you could also plug your code into Spamalize's framework (it's easy!) and save a lot of work. If you make a nifty addition, please tell me about it ( oakes@psyphw.psych.wisc.edu ) so I can include it for others to use. There is a seperate page devoted to Spamalize installation Spamalize Programming Tips There are two main types of programs in Spamalize: 1) Mature programs that perform an image analysis or display task, like BrainMaker or BrainSpinner; 2) All the others, that let you take a more modular approach to image processing.

Introduction to IDL Programming This page contains an introduction to programming in IDL , and is part of a larger set of IDL tutorials . This introduction is fairly basic- while it will get you started, you will benefit greatly from reading one or more of the following books: Training Manuals There are a few books on IDL programming which I have found very useful. The IDL reference manuals are quite helpful if you already have some idea of what you need. The reference manuals contain a few examples for beginners, but the first book I would recommend reading is: "IDL Programming Techniques" by David Fanning . It has a lot of examples and is a great book! Another excellent book is: "Application Development with IDL" by Ron Kling . This is a somewhat more advanced book, but also has some very nice example programs that are quite useful for image analysis. I have copies of both of these books if you want to borrow them (and you work in my lab!), or you can purchase them through RSI (makers of IDL).
