f2z

DOCUMENT z = f2z(x)
  convert 2-by-dims float or double X to complex.

idl_open

DOCUMENT f = idl_open(filename)
      or f = idl_open(filename, commons)
  openb for an IDL save file
  optional COMMONS is returned as an array of pointers to
    arrays of strings; the first string in each array is the name
    of an IDL common block; the others are the names of the
    variables in that common block
  all variable names have been converted to lower case
  loud=1 keyword reports on timestamp and other information
    about the user, host, etc., stored in the save file

  floating complex data becomes an array of float with leading
    dimension of 2, use f2z to recover complex
  64 bit integers become an array of long with leading dimension
    of 2, use l2ll to recover single long (if sizeof(long)=8)

SEE ALSO: openb, f2z, l2ll

l2ll

DOCUMENT z = l2ll(x)
  convert 2-by-dims 32 bit integer X to 64 bit integer
  (only works if sizeof(long)=8)
