It explains the key differences between MATLAB and PDL to help you get going as quickly as possible. This document is not a tutorial. For that, go to PDL::QuickStart. This document complements the Quick Start guide, as…
PDL::Internals – description of some aspects of the current internals DescriptionIntroThis document explains various aspects of the current implementation of PDL. If you just want to use PDL for something, you definitely do not need to read this. Even if you want to interface your C routines to PDL or create new PDL::PP functions, you…
PDL::Indexing – Introduction to indexing and slicing piddles. OverviewThis man page should serve as a first tutorial on the indexing and threading features of PDL. Like all vectorized languages, PDL automates looping over arrays using a variant of mathematical vector notation. The automatic looping is called “threading”, in part because ultimately PDL will implement parallel…

PDL::Delta – PDL changes between V1.0 and V2.0 DescriptionThis file is an attempt to list the major user-visible changes between PDL versions 1.0 and 2.0. Core ChangesPiddles are not hashes any more: $a = zeroes 10,10; $$a{FOO} = "bar"doesn’t work. They are currently scalar references (to opaque C structures in finer terms) because of speed…
PDL::Dataflow — description of the dataflow philosophy Synopsis pdl> $a = zeroes(10); pdl> $b = $a->slice("2:4:2"); pdl> $b ++; pdl> print $a; [0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0]WarningDataflow is very experimental. Many features of it are disabled for 2.0, particularly families for one-directional dataflow. If you wish to use one-directional dataflow…
PDL::Course – A journey through PDL’s documentation, from beginner to advanced. Author, DateThis is written by David Mertens with edits by Daniel Carrera. PrefacePDL‘s documentation is extensive. Some sections cover deep core magic while others cover more usual topics like IO and numerical computation. How are these related? Where should you begin? This document is…
PDL::Bugs – How to diagnose and report PDL problems Versionversion 1.0000 DescriptionThis module explains how to get help with a PDL problem and how, when, and where to submit a bug report. In the future it may be extended to provide some sort of automated bug reporting capability. If You Have A Pdl ProblemThe primary…
PDL::BadValues – Discussion of bad value support in PDL DescriptionWhat are bad values and why should I bother with them?Sometimes it’s useful to be able to specify a certain value is ‘bad’ or ‘missing’; for example CCDs used in astronomy produce 2D images which are not perfect since certain areas contain invalid data due to…
PDL::API – making piddles from Perl and C/XS code DescriptionA simple cookbook how to create piddles manually. It covers both the Perl and the C/XS level. Additionally, it describes the PDL core routines that can be accessed from other modules. These routines basically define the PDL API. If you need to access piddles from C/XS…
