Tela ("Tensor Language") is a numerical computing environment. A summary of its basic features follows:
- The syntax reminds C, coming sometimes close to Pascal
- Some features have been borrowed from Matlab and other languages
- Tela supports N-dimensional arrays (currently, N must be less than 5)
- Arrays can be indexed and manipulated as in Matlab and Fortran-90
- Six basic numerical data types: integer, real and complex arrays
and scalars
- Fast. Also scalar loops are pretty fast.
- Graphics is currently handled using Kenny Toh's PlotMTV program
- Uses HDF files as native data format
- Besides in Tela itself, you can also write new functions using C-Tela,
which is modified C++. Large parts of Tela has been written in C-Tela.
