use.2
- One advanced but not implausible application, which
would test the extensibility of our design, is the near real-time
analysis and display of data from a telescope, in which the results of
preliminary analysis are used to guide decisions about telescope
pointing. As an aside, and with a tip of the hat to the Monitor and
Control software development team at the Green Bank Telescope (where
such an application might have some appeal): both of our projects use
glish, and so assembling separately developed software in this way is
neither fanciful nor naive.

- Actually, it is the TK widget set that is immature -
TCL itself is quite well developed and robust.

- This author has long
believed that an innovative catalog manager could be written in Fresco
or OpenGL and that, done right, this would be a real boon to
astronomers managing complex and inter-connected data sets. See, for
instance, Communications of the ACM, April 93, Volume 36, Number 4,
page 57: ``Information Visualization Using 3D Interactive Animation'',
by Robertson, Card and Mackinlay

- An Image is
essentially an array of numbers with coordinate information attached.
It is natural, then, for the Image Display Component to also be
capable of displaying an
array, without coordinates, and using integer axis indices in their
stead. Furthermore, since AIPS++ provides converters to and from FITS,
the Image Display Component can be used to display FITS images as well,
performing conversion behind the scenes.

- ... client.6
- The author has spent the last several
weeks experimenting with and absorbing the details of the Karma
graphics library. There has not yet been time to organize this
exploratory work into a well thought-out public interface. It is
safe to say, however, that the interface will include zooming, panning
pixel-picking, region marking, annotation, colormap manipulation,
and intensity transformations (linear, log, square root, histogram
equalization).
