More information about this package (including download links) is available at our web site: http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/ds9/ DS9 Description --------- SAOImage DS9 is an astronomical imaging and data visualization application. DS9 supports FITS images and binary tables, multiple frame buffers, region manipulation, and many scale algorithms and colormaps. It provides for easy communication with external analysis tasks and is highly configurable and extensible. DS9 is a stand-alone application. It requires no installation or support files. Versions of DS9 currently exist for Solaris, Linux, Windows, and MacOSX . All versions and platforms support a consistent set of GUI and functional capabilities. DS9 supports advanced features such as multiple frame buffers, mosaic images, tiling, blinking, geometric markers, colormap manipulation, scaling, arbitrary zoom, rotation, pan, and a variety of coordinate systems. The GUI for DS9 is user configurable. GUI elements such as the coordinate display, panner, magnifier, horizontal and vertical graphs, button bar, and colorbar can be configured via menus or the command line. New features in this release --------- X11 MacOSX 10.5 Support for X11 MacOSX 10.5 Leopard has been reduced to only one version which can be used with or without the Leopard firewall enabled. Please note: this version consist of 2 files, ds9 and ds9.zip. It is very important that ds9.zip be placed in the same directory as the ds9 binary at all times. VOTable Catalogs The Catalog tool can now load and save catalogs in VOTable format. SAMP DS9 now supports SAMP (Simple Application Messaging Protocol). FITS images and Catalogs may be exchanged with other application who support SAMP such as TOPCAT and ALADIN.
