SAOimage (pronounced S-A-0-image) displays astronomical images in the X11
|
||
|
|
window environment. It was written by Mike Van Hilst while he was at the
|
||
|
|
Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) in 1990 and is now maintained by
|
||
|
|
Doug Mink also at the SAO. Online documentation is available at
|

|
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, but keyboard
|
||
|
|
alternatives are often available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
