By default, - this directory is defined by the TMP or TEMP environment - variable. This is usually defined as <tt>/tmp</tt> for Linux - and MacOSX users. For Windows users, this will vary, depending - on which version of Windows you have. In any case, if the temp - directory is not writable, or you have specified an invalid - directory in the preferences, these functions will fail with a - variety of error messages.<br> - </p> - <p><b>My system admin stripped the DS9 binary and now DS9 fails - to start with the following error message:</b></p> - <p><tt>Application initialization failed: Can't find a usable - tk.tcl in the following directories...</tt></p> - <p>DS9 is based on tcl/tk which is a scripting language which - requires many support files. To create a stand alone - application, we <i>fool</i> tcl/tk into thinking that it has - a valid installation. To do this, DS9 is really an - application, along with an zip archive attached. The first - thing DS9 does is to create a virtual file system in memory - and unpack that archive into memory. The application DS9 is - already stripped of debugging symbols when built. </p> - <p>It appears that the <tt>strip</tt> command is <i>stripping</i> - part of the archive, hence DS9 is unable to un-compress it.

Yet - everything, including the color bar seems to work?</b></p> - <p>New with version 2.1, is support for the DATASEC keyword. - This keyword specifies what portion of the image is valid - data, for calculating min / max and for displaying. This is - very important for images created from CCDs with over scan and - bias strips. By default, this support is enabled. However, a - number of fits images with this keyword, have invalid values. - Therefor, when DS9 opens the image, it finds no valid data to - display. To correct this problem, either disable DATASEC - support, via the Scale menu, or correct the the value of - DATASEC in the fits header.

To direct image output from IRAF to DS9 - running under Windows or MacOSX, use the IMTDEV environment - variable. For example, if the machine is named 'foo.bar.edu', - define IMTDEV to the follow value before entering IRAF. </p> - <blockquote><tt>$ setenv IMTDEV inet:5137:foo.bar.edu </tt><br> - <tt>$ cl </tt><br> - <tt>cl> display dev$pix</tt><br> - </blockquote> - <blockquote> - <blockquote> </blockquote> - </blockquote> - <p><b>I'm having problems with </b><b>mscred task </b><b>msczero?</b></p> - DS9 now supports IRAF's new IIS image display protocol.

In fact, DS9 uses the same code to interface - with IRAF as saoimage and ximtool. The only difference - is that DS9 is double buffered, whereas, <i>saoimage</i> and - <i>ximtool</i> only use a single buffer. So with <i>saoimage</i> - and <i>ximtool</i>, you see incremental progress, where - DS9 will render the image all at one time. However, the - overall time to finish rendering should almost be the - same. </p> - <p>DS9 runs in both 8 bit and 24 bit environments, but <i>saoimage</i> - is restricted to 8 bit. If you are running DS9 and <i>saoimage</i> - at the same time, then you must be in 8 bit mode. You should - not see any delay in changing the color bias/contrast - between the two. </p> - <p>However, if you are running DS9 in 24 bit mode, then you will - see slower performance in changing the bias/contrast, as - compared to 8 bit mode. Instead of changing a color look - up table, as in 8 bit mode, DS9 has to update every - pixel on the screen. If your cpu speed is slow, you can - select the Edit:Preferences:True Colorbar to tell DS9 - not to update the entire screen, only a part of the - screen. This should only be needed if your machine is - slower than 200 MHz. Again <i>saoimage</i> does not - even run in 24 bit mode, so there are no comparisons. </p> - <p><b>I try to display an image from IRAF and I get the - following error message:</b></p> - <p><tt>Cannot open device (node!imtool,,512,512)</tt></p> - <p> </p> - <p>DS9 works the same way as <tt>ximtool,</tt> <tt>saoimage,</tt> - and <tt>saotng.</tt> No special scripts should be - needed. If you have one of the above currently working, DS9 - should work <i>out of the box</i>. </p> - <p>IRAF can use one of three methods to communicate with DS9: - fifo, socket, and unix domain name. The DS9 defaults - are:</p> - <blockquote><tt>fifo /dev/imt1</tt> <br> - <tt>port 5137</tt> <br> - <tt>unix /tmp/.IMT%d</tt> </blockquote> - <p>If your IRAF configuration is set up different (i.e., a - different port number, or via a fifo), you need to tell - DS9 how to communicate with iraf.

My question then is what, if - anything, can I do about this?</b> </p> - <p>The problem is that you create an image on a display, which - is the product of RGB colors (red, green, and blue) and - print the image on a printer, which is the product of - CMYK colors (cyan, yellow, magenta, and black). Furthermore, - every monitor is different in how it will display a - certain color, and every printing technology is - different in how well it will reproduce that color. And - finally, the translation between RGB and CMYK is not - symmetric, i.e. its not possible to translate some - colors back and forth. </p> - <p>It's possible to calibrate your monitor and your printer, to - create a translation matrix, to correct for problems - outlined above (in the Macintosh world, this is what - ColorSync does). The idea is to <i>apply</i> a gamma - correction to the output of DS9, so that it will print - much more in line with what you expect. To do this you'd - need special software and hardware, and its only valid - for your monitor and your printer. </p> - <p>In summary, its not worth it. Especially in the case of - publication, such as ApJ, where you have no idea on what - printing technology will be used to reproduce your - image. So the only control you have is to calibrate your - monitor and to hope for the best. </p> - <p>However, there are some <i>rules of thumb </i>that might - help. First, printers have a very hard time with <i>blues</i> - and <i>purples</i>, as they tend to be washed out. Either - avoid these colors, or over compensate these colors. </p> - <p>ApJ has a good idea in that you send in both an electronic - version and a hard copy of your color image. That way, they - can manually adjust the printers to try to match your - output.</p> - <p><i>NOTE: Even though ApJ requests images in CMYK, we - recommend RGB. From personal experience, if you send RGB, - the printed results will be closer to the original.</i></p> - <p><b>We used DS9 to generate 300 dpi CMYK eps figures, as per - the ApJ specifications, but the color scheme on our - proofs is wrong. In the proofs, the violet is washed - out and looks similar to the black, and the blue is not - nearly as intense.</b></p> - <p><b> </b>There are two issues here: first, color - printers are notorious for failure to reproduce blues and - purples correctly. Second, not all colors in RGB space - can be reproduced correctly in CMYK space, blues being the - prime example. Below is an excerpt from an industry pamphlet:</p> - <blockquote> - <p><tt>Be aware that it is possible to see colors in RGB that - you can't make with CMYK. They are said to be "out of the - CMYK color gamut". What happens is that the RGB-to-CMYK - translator just gets as close as possible to the - appearance of the original and that's as good as it can - be. It's something that everyone in the industry puts up - with. So it's best to select any colors you use for fonts - or other design elements in your layout using CMYK - definitions instead of RGB. That way, you will have a - better idea of how they will appear in your printed piece. - Here's a common example: many programs translate the 100% - Blue in RGB into a somewhat purple-looking color in CMYK. - We recommend a CMYK value of 100-65-0-0 to get a nice - clean blue.<font size="-1"><br> - </font></tt></p> - </blockquote> - <p>For this reason, you may wish to use the RGB color space or - colormaps without deep blues and purples, such as <tt>BB</tt> - or <tt>Heat.</tt></p> - </blockquote> - </blockquote> - <blockquote> - <p> <b><a name="XPA"></a>XPA</b></p> - <blockquote> - <p><b>How can I use XPA to display from a client machine to DS9 - on a server machine?<br> - </b></p> - <p>Assuming you have direct IP reachability between the machines - (i.e. one host can successfully connect() to the other), XPA - does allow you to have an XPA-enabled server like DS9 on one - machine and a client on another.

In fact, DS9 uses the same code to interface with IRAF +as saoimage and ximtool. The only difference is that DS9 is +double buffered, whereas, <i>saoimage</i> and <i>ximtool</i> +only use a single buffer.

My question then is what, if anything, can I do about +this?</b></p> +<p>The problem is that you create an image on a display, which is +the product of RGB colors (red, green, and blue) and print +the image on a printer, which is the product of CMYK colors +(cyan, yellow, magenta, and black). Furthermore, every +monitor is different in how it will display a certain color, and +every printing technology is different in how well it will +reproduce that color. And finally, the translation between +RGB and CMYK is not symmetric, i.e. its not possible to +translate some colors back and forth.</p> +<p>It's possible to calibrate your monitor and your printer, to +create a translation matrix, to correct for problems outlined +above (in the Macintosh world, this is what ColorSync does). +The idea is to <i>apply</i> a gamma correction to the output of +DS9, so that it will print much more in line with what you +expect. To do this you'd need special software and hardware, +and its only valid for your monitor and your printer.</p> +<p>In summary, its not worth it. Especially in the case of +publication, such as ApJ, where you have no idea on what +printing technology will be used to reproduce your image. So +the only control you have is to calibrate your monitor and to +hope for the best.</p> +<p>However, there are some <i>rules of thumb</i> that might help. +First, printers have a very hard time with <i>blues</i> and +<i>purples</i>, as they tend to be washed out. Either avoid these +colors, or over compensate these colors. </p> +<p>ApJ has a good idea in that you send in both an electronic +version and a hard copy of your color image. That way, they can +manually adjust the printers to try to match your output.</p> +<p><i>NOTE: Even though ApJ requests images in CMYK, we recommend +RGB. From personal experience, if you send RGB, the printed results +will be closer to the original.</i></p> +<p><b>We used DS9 to generate 300 dpi CMYK eps figures, as per the +ApJ specifications, but the color scheme on our proofs is +wrong. In the proofs, the violet is washed out and looks +similar to the black, and the blue is not nearly as +intense.</b></p> +<p>There are two issues here: first, color printers are +notorious for failure to reproduce blues and purples correctly. +Second, not all colors in RGB space can be reproduced +correctly in CMYK space, blues being the prime example. Below is an +excerpt from an industry pamphlet:</p> +<blockquote> +<p><tt>Be aware that it is possible to see colors in RGB that you +can't make with CMYK. They are said to be "out of the CMYK color +gamut". What happens is that the RGB-to-CMYK translator just gets +as close as possible to the appearance of the original and that's +as good as it can be. It's something that everyone in the industry +puts up with. So it's best to select any colors you use for fonts +or other design elements in your layout using CMYK definitions +instead of RGB. That way, you will have a better idea of how they +will appear in your printed piece. Here's a common example: many +programs translate the 100% Blue in RGB into a somewhat +purple-looking color in CMYK. We recommend a CMYK value of +100-65-0-0 to get a nice clean blue.<font size= +"-1"><br></font></tt></p> +</blockquote> +<p>For this reason, you may wish to use the RGB color space or +colormaps without deep blues and purples, such as <tt>BB</tt> or +<tt>Heat.</tt></p> +</blockquote> +</blockquote> +<blockquote> +<p><b><a name="XPA" id="XPA"></a>XPA</b></p> +<blockquote> +<p><b>How can I use XPA to display from a client machine to DS9 on +a server machine?<br></b></p> +<p>Assuming you have direct IP reachability between the machines +(i.e. one host can successfully connect() to the other), XPA does +allow you to have an XPA-enabled server like DS9 on one machine and +a client on another.

This +change makes sure that the labels are 'reduced' if we have this +condition.</tt></li> +<li><tt>04.03.2002 ds9 will now automatically open as a bin table +fits extension named EVENTS, STDEVT, and RAYEVENT.</tt></li> +<li><tt>04.03.2002 when trying to find an image to open in relax +mode (ie the use did not specify an extension), ds9 will not find a +valid image if the length of either axis is 0.</tt></li> +<li><tt>04.03.2002 now check for Ghostscript version 6.50 or higher +when invoking Save As.</tt></li> +<li><tt>04.03.2002 add help application preference.

Modified ast to +use sscanf() for all platforms except Darwin. Darwin uses +astSscanf(), which works around a problem with sscanf() on MacOSX, +with format strings of the following format: sscanf(str, " %s %n", +foo, &nc).</tt></li> +<li><tt>02.04.2002 changed fity++ primary_/head_ header +relationship. primary_ is only set if there is a primary header is +available and different from head_.</tt></li> +<li><tt>02.04.2002 wsc's are init'd with both the head_ and the +primary_ (if available) to handle the case where wcs keywords are +spread between hdu nd primary headers in mulitiple extension +files.</tt></li> +<li><tt>02.06.2002 all xpa commands are now 'catch{}' to invoke a +procedure that will unwind the watch cursor stack.

The GUI is implemented as a very +thin layer of Tk. A number of Tk Canvas widgets in C++ were created +to support all the functionality needed. Basically, all the real +work is done in C++. DS9 inherited TNG's support of regions, XPA, +external analysis support, and the general GUI. However, all the +visualization techniques come directly from SAOImage.</p> +<p>The current version of DS9 is composed of the Tk widgets created +along with support from about 20 other open source products +(including Tcl/Tk, AST, BLT, HCompress, HTMLWidget, plio, rics, +tcllib, tclxml, tkcon, tkimg, tktable, wcssubs, xmlrpc, XPA, zip, +zlib, and zvfs). The distributed binaries consist of a +self-contained self-extracting archive and application, which +provides an independent Tcl/Tk environment without +installation.</p> +<p>The first versions of DS9 were made available in 1999. Since +then, the popularity of DS9 has grown far beyond +expectations.<br></p> +</blockquote> +</body> </html> diff --git a/ds9/doc/tutorial.html b/ds9/doc/tutorial.html index 8b17ad6..99e61ca 100644 --- a/ds9/doc/tutorial.html +++ b/ds9/doc/tutorial.html @@ -1,32 +1,28 @@ -<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> - <head> - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; - charset=windows-1252"> - <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.8 - sun4u) [Netscape]"> - <title>SAOImage: Tutorials</title> - </head> - <body style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, - 255);" vlink="#551a8b" link="#0000ee" alink="#ff0000"> - <h2> <img src="sun.gif" alt="" width="100" height="98" - align="middle"> - SAOImageDS9: Tutorials<br> - </h2> - <blockquote>Below is a list of instructional tutorials which - are currently available.
