Description

The Viewer tool is an AIPS++ tool which provides data display services. It can produce false color image and contour map representations of AIPS++ images or Glish arrays, rendered either on-screen or to PostScript files. Extensive control over the display of data is available from both graphical and programming interfaces. The Viewer tool is the primary interface to the viewer module of the Display package.
