DLM_LOAD

Syntax | Arguments | Keywords | Example | Version History

Normally, IDL system routines that reside in dynamically loadable modules (DLMs) are automatically loaded on demand when a routine from a DLM is called. The DLM_LOAD procedure can be used to explicitly cause a DLM to be loaded.

Syntax

DLM_LOAD, DLMNameStr₁ [, DLMNameStr₂,..., DLMNameStr_n]

Arguments

DLMNameStr_n

A string giving the name of the DLM to be loaded. DLM_LOAD causes each named DLM to be immediately loaded.

Keywords

None

Example

Force the JPEG DLM to be loaded:

DLM_LOAD, 'jpeg'

IDL prints:

% Loaded DLM: JPEG.
