SAOimage 1.16
SAOimage (pronounced S-A-0-image) is a utility for displaying
astronomical images which
runs under the X11 window environment. It was written by Mike Van Hilst
at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory 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.
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.
