[fitsbits] [fitswcs] WCSLIB 3.3
Mark's announcement of WCSLIB 3.3 reminds me to ask a generic question
about an issue I'm sure others have faced: how best to switch from an IRAF environment to a CFITSIO/WCSLIB one. While IRAF has served us well for 15 years, I don't see a huge effort being undertaken to bring its WCS library in compliance with the standard, nor to support other map projections beyond those already in place. As a solar astronomer I have other needs :-) . Most of my code is in Fortran, with just a few SPP "wrapper" main programs to get access to some of the IRAF IMIO routines. -- Stephen Walton Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Northridge |
