include "viewer.g"
The viewer module provides display services. It can produce false color image, contour and vector map representations of AIPS++ images and Glish arrays, rendered either on-screen or to PostScript files. Extensive control over the display of data is available from both graphical user and programming (command-line) interfaces.
The most important tool in this module is the Viewer tool, which combines a number of the other tools in the module to produce a cohesive application, operable from the command-line or from multiple windows in a graphical user interface. Most display services can be accessed directly from the Viewer tool.
An example on how to operate the Viewer tool from the command-line can be found here.
In general, there should be little need to read documentation on the other tools in this module. However, for reference purposes and if you want to integrate the Viewer tool into your own application/script take a closer look at the description of the tools which are part of this module.
Most of the tools in this module can be driven by graphical user interfaces. This documentation starts with a general description of how to use these GUIs to interact with the Viewer tool. You really only need to know about the GUIs which the Viewer tool provides access to:
A list of aipsrc setting to customize the Viewer can be found in the Resources section.
Ok - here a little sitemap for this module:
