-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-9470 2008-11-07 01:36:34 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : saoimage Product : Fedora 9 Version : 1.35.1 Release : 3.fc9 URL : http://tdc-www.harvard.edu/software/saoimage/ Summary : Utility for displaying astronomical images Description : SAOimage (pronounced S-A-0-image) is a utility for displaying astronomical images in the X11 window environment. It was written at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory by Mike Van Hilst in 1990 and is now maintained by Doug Mink.
Image files can be read directly, or image data may be passed through a named pipe (Unix) or a mailbox (VMS) from IRAF display tasks. SAOimage provides a large selection of options for zooming, panning, scaling, coloring, pixel readback, display blinking, and region specification. User interactions are generally performed with the mouse. Mouse tracking in an image's world coordinate system, usually sky coordinates, was added in 1994. You can also plot catalogs over images with WCS information in their headers.
The SAOimage desktop includes, a main image display window, a button menu panel, a display magnifier, a pan and zoom reference image, and a color bar. A color table graph window can be brought up by clicking on the color bar.
