Quick Reference
Good PDF introduction to the GDL language.
Libraries
Hunting around the web there are people producing extra libraries which can be downloaded :
- NASA IDL Astronomy Libraries
- SDSSIDL – a set of general IDL utilities for plotting, data analysis, and database access
- Daithi Stone IDL Libraries – Geographical, Arrays, Filesystem, Calendar, Graphics, I/O, Maths
- IIT User Community Libraries

Any .pro files downloaded from the internet can be copied to the GDL directory at:
sudo cp *.pro /usr/share/doc/gnudatalanguage/examples/pro/
Then used within your own .pro files.
Potentially Interesting Stuff
Volunteers?
In the spirit of Gnu it would be good to have someone create an XText implementation for the Eclipse IDE. A cross-platform libre IDE for GDL would be nice, so that editing, syntax highlighting, compilation, running etc could all be done within one (Eclipse) environment.
