IDL is an interactive data evaluation environment developed by Research Systems - it is an interpreted language for data manipulation and visualization. The NeXus IDL bindings allow access to the NeXus API from within IDL - they are installed when NeXus is compiled from source after being configured with the following options:

configure \
        --with-idlroot=/path/to/idl/installation \
        --with-idldlm=/path/to/install/dlm/files/to
