In contexts of [[solar physics]] and [[data analysis]], '''ana''' is a somewhat whimsically named computer language that is designed for array processing and image data analysis. The name is an acronym for "A Non Acronym". Ana began as a [[fork (software development)|fork]] of an early version of [[IDL (programming language)|IDL]], but has diverged significantly since then. It is in common use at the [[Lockheed-Martin Space Applications Laboratory]] and at institutions that analyze data from the [[TRACE]] spacecraft, but is not commonly used elsewhere. Ana appears to be intended as [[free software]] though it is not distributed under a recognized [[FOSS]] license. It is available as source code, primarily through the [[Solarsoft]] distribution system.

The most commonly used application written in '''ana''' is the [[TRACE image browser]], which is designed for browsing and viewing time-lapse movies collected by [[TRACE]], [[Solar and Heliospheric Observatory|SOHO]], [[Yohkoh]], and other observatories.
