| Summary : X11 astronomical image display utility
|
Description :
SAOimage (pronounced S-A-0-image) is a utility for viewing 2D
numerical data, and particularly astronomical images, in the X11
window environment. It understands FITS, OIF, and raw binary image
formats, among others. 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. If specified, the mouse can track in an image\'s world
coordinate system, usually sky coordinates. 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. An
editable color table graph window can be brought up by clicking on the
color bar. All displays are in pseudocolor.
