[fitsbits] Start of the FITS Region File Public Comment Period
This is to announce the start of the 30-day Public Comment Period on
the FITS Region File convention which has been submitted for inclusion in the Registry of FITS Conventions. This is the 12th in a growing series of conventions submitted to the Registry which is maintained by the IAU FITS Working Group. Detailed information about this convention and a sample FITS file that uses it are available for public review and comment from the FITS registry web page at http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_registry.html A FITS Region file is a FITS binary table that defines a spatial region of a 2-dimensional image. The region file is often used to define an area that is to be included or excluded from certain data processing operations on the image. The region is specified as the union or intersection of geometric shapes, such as 'circle' or 'rectangle'. The REGION table is the FITS equivalent of the ASCII text region file that has long been used by the ds9 image processing program and its predecessor, SAOimage. Comments may be posted here on the FITSBITS mail exploder or the sci.astro.fits newsgroup. Minor typographical issues may be sent directly to the authors of the convention.
