idl routines to analyz AO  data  (top)

click on the uncompressed or compressed version to download. Store the file aoIdl.tar in the directory you want to keep the idl routines. I'll assume you put them in /share/idl/ao.

If it was the uncompressed version: tar -xf aoIdl.tar

If is was the compressed version:  gunzip -c aoIdl.tar.gz | tar -xf -

In the user's  startup file for idl add:

   !path = expand_path('+/share/idl/ao/gen')+':'+ !path

You need a directory to hold the html documentation and a url. Assume you want to keep the html documentation in /home/aoidl/public_html  and the url to this will be:  http://www.yoursite.edu/~aoidl.

Edit the file  /share/idl/ao/gen/aodefdir.pro

      change:     return,'/pkg/rsi/local/libao/phil/'
          to:     return,'/share/idl/aoidl/' 
      change:     return,'/home/phil/pubilc_html/'
          to:     return,'/home/aoidl/pubilc_html/'
      change:     return,'http://www.naic.edu/~phil/'
          to:     return,'http://www.yoursite.edu/~aoidl/'

You should make sure the documentation directory exists and you have write access to it.
 --> Warning.. the filenames need the trailing / ....eg

         '/share/idl/aoidl/'  .. correct
         '/share/idl/aoidl'  .. incorrect

When starting idl, you need to specify where the aoidl routines are located. The easiest way is to use an idl startup file and the shell environment variable IDL_STARTUP. The file could contain:

   ;lines starting with ; are comments
   ;  edit_input tells idl how many lines to remember when using the
   ;  up arrow to recall/edit previous commands
   ;
   !EDIT_INPUT=500
   ;
   ;  the next line tells idl where to find the aodefdir routine
   ;  that is then used to define all of the paths...
   ;
   !path = expand_path('+/share/idl/ao/gen')+':'+ !path
   ;
   ;  This is just some extra junk i use for plotting
   ;
   !x.style=1
   !y.style=1

IDL will look in the environment variable IDL_STARTUP to see if you have defined a startup file.
A csh example is:
  In .cshrc put

  setenv IDL_STARTUP  ~yourHomedir/startup.idl

Then idl   will startup idl and execute the above commands.
 

The first time you start idl, you need to create the documentation.  Enter @allmkdoc   This will create the  .html files in the doc directory you specified. Be sure that you have write permissions to these directories or the command will fail.

 

./swmodhistory.html has the modification history for the routines. Every time I find a bug or add something,i'll put an entry in this table. Move this to an html directory and add a link to it.

For those who have already downloaded the software, checkout the  software modification history to see if there is anything new or fixed that you may want (note:27sep12.. i haven't been very religious in maintaining this web page since i moved the idl routines to svn).  You need to also check that the last updated date for the tar files includes anything new you may want (i try to remember to update the tar files but sometimes i'm a few days behind).
