Description
Tk widgets for astronomical imaging and data visualization
SAOTk is an integrated set of Tcl/Tk canvas widgets for astronomical
imaging and data visualization. The widget set is composed of the
Frame, Panner, Magnifier, and Colorbar widgets. In addition to
classical support for imaging FITS data, manipulating colormaps,
region marking, coordinate readout (including WCS), etc, SAOTk
widgets also support arbitrary image scaling and rotation, advanced
postscript printing, Truecolor graphic support, and image mosaics.
.
The SAOTk widgets are being used in a wide variety of astronomical
applications. These applications include general visualization and
analysis, real-time instrumentation and calibration, and interactive
modeling. These Tcl extensions can be utilized in any standard Tcl/Tk
environment to build custom data analysis and visualization
applications.
