DS9 is composed of approximately 20 open source packages, all - of which are distributed under their own open source license - agreements, usually GPL, LGPL, or BSD. In addition, several - open source packages have been developed here at the - Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, MA, USA and - are distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public - License as published by the Free Software Foundation. As long - as you continue to adhere to the provisions of the licenses, - you are free to distribute DS9 along with your software.

-

The GNU site - contains an excellent FAQ on the the dos and donts of GPL.

-
-

General

-
-

The web browser, catalog tool, image server, and other - Analysis functions don't appear to work. Whats going on?
-

-

For a number of the Analysis functions, DS9 requires - temporary disk space to download and store data. By default, - this directory is defined by the TMP or TEMP environment - variable. This is usually defined as /tmp 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.
-

-

My system admin stripped the DS9 binary and now DS9 fails - to start with the following error message:

-

Application initialization failed: Can't find a usable - tk.tcl in the following directories...

-

DS9 is based on tcl/tk which is a scripting language which - requires many support files. To create a stand alone - application, we fool 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.

-

It appears that the strip command is stripping - part of the archive, hence DS9 is unable to un-compress it. In - summary, don't strip the DS9 binary and everything - works fine.

-

When I open my FITS image, all I see is 'white'. Yet - everything, including the color bar seems to work?

-

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. You can also change the default - behavior by disabling DATASEC from the preferences menu.
-

-
-

Fonts

-
-

Where is the Symbol Font? How do I enter special - characters into an entry dialog?

-

The concept of a separate SYMBOL font is no longer - implemented with the latest OS font and scripting support, - especially with scalable anti-alias fonts such as Xft for - Linux. Most newer fonts (if not all) now have greek characters - as part of the font. The greek chars start at unicode \u0391 - for 'A' and \u03b1 for 'a'. Each OS has a tool used to build - and copy a string of characters. Then use the Edit:Paste menu - of DS9 to insert the character string.

-

Linux- Gnome: gucharmap
- Linux- KDE: kcharselect
- MacOSX: Character Viewer (Select Edit:Special - Characters) Now click and drag the characters to a - terminal window. Then select the string and select Edit:Copy.
- Windows: Character Map (from Start button, - select All Programs, Accessories, System - - - - - - - Tools and then Character Map)
-

-
-

Linux

-
-

My /tmp directory is mounted -noexec and bin table - filtering does not work.

-

Set the environment variable FILTER_TMPDIR to a directory - that is both writable and can execute.
-

-

I have Red Hat 7, and I'm running KDE. The magnifier keeps - going blank after a few seconds, what's going on?

-

The problem was in KDE. If the user has decided to hide the - panel taskbar and  sets a delay time for when it appears - if the mouse is moved to the panel  location, then it - appears that KDE creates mouse events that fool DS9 into  - thinking the mouse is outside and it blanks the magnifier. By - turning off the  hide panel, the effect goes away. The - alternative is to update to KDE2.1Beta  where this method - of dealing with the hidden panel is not used and all is  - well, as it was for KDE

-

I have FreeBSD. When I run ds9, I get the following error: -   ELF binary type "0" not known Whats - - - - - - - - going on?

-

The solution was to use the brandelf utility - on the file to ensure that the machine understood that it -  was a Linux program.

-

% brandelf -t Linux (file name)
-

-
-
-

Windows

-
-

When I do Save Image, I get the same result (and this is - true for either .gif, .jpeg, .tiff, .png and .ppm) : it - saves only a stripe at the top of my image.
-

-

This problem seems to be caused by running DS9 in Windows XP - compatibility mode. Please un-check the compatibility option - in the properties dialog.
-

-

How can I open a FITS file with an extension name?

-

By default, the windows port of DS9 uses the Windows - standard dialog box to open and save files. This can be a - problem in that the native Windows dialog will not allow - extensions to the file name, such as foo.fits[2]. - You must use the Unix like standard dialogs to be able to - specify an extension. Select Edit->Preferences->General:Dialogbox - to change the default standard dialog.

-

Every time I create an auxiliary window in ds9, such as a - Pixel Table, or Analysis Plot, it will retreat behind the - main ds9 window. Then, when I bring the auxiliary window to - the front and move the mouse out of it, it automatically - goes behind the main ds9 window again. What can I do to fix - things so that the auxiliary window stays on top of the ds9 - window?

-

To fix things so that the auxiliary window stays on top of - the ds9 window, do the following:

-
-

Go to the icon task bar at the bottom of the screen. - Bring the auxiliary window to the front by clicking on its - icon in the icon task bar. While the mouse still - is on the aux window icon, press the mouse button, and - keeping it pressed, move the mouse off the task bar. - Release the mouse while off the task bar. The - auxiliary window will now stay on top of the main ds9 - window.

-
-
-
-

MacOSX
-

-
-

I can't invoke the 'Save Image' function from the MacOSX - X11 version. I get an error message "An error has occurred - while creating the image. Please make sure entire image is - visible on screen."
-

- Up until MacOSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion), Apple provided their own - version of a X11 server. At first, it was based on XFree86 - (X11R6.6) and available with versions up to MacOSX 10.4. Later - with MacOSX versions 10.5 to 10.7, the Apple's X11 server was - based upon X.org (X11R7.2).
-
- The Apple version of X11 server for MacOSX 10.5 to 10.7 contains - a bug which fails if you invoke certain X11 calls on a window if - its location is not at 0,0 on the screen. Hence, within DS9, if - you 'Save Image' and your window is not exactly in the upper - left corner, it will fail.
-
- Again, this only affects users of MacOSX 10.5 to 10.7.
-
- Starting with MacOSX 10.8, Apple no longer provides a X11 window - server. The user must go to the XQuartz site and - download/install directly. The current version is 2.7.3.
-

When I invoke DS9 MacOSX Aqua from the command line, I get - weird errors such as:

-
-

The document "foo.fits" could not be opened. SAOImage - DS9 cannot open files in the "Flexible Image Transport - System" format.

-
-

When opening MacOSX Aqua from the command - line, it is better to use the OPEN application as - opposed to specifying the binary directly. The OPEN - application sets up the environment just as it is when a user - double clicks.

- # good
- % open /Applications/SAOImage\ DS9.app foo.fits
-
- # bad
- % /Applications/SAOImage\ DS9.app/Contents/MacOS/ds9 bar.fits
-

How can I open a FITS file with an extension name?

-

By default, DS9 MacOSX Aqua uses the MacOSX standard - dialog box to open and save files. This can be a problem in - that the native MacOSX dialog will not allow extensions to the - file name, such as foo.fits[2]. You must use the - Unix like standard dialogs to be able to specify an extension. - Select Edit->Preferences->General to change - the default standard dialog.

-

How do I set my PATH environment variable under MacOSX for - use with external analysis programs, such as funtools?
-

-

When you double click on a MacOSX application, it does not - parse any shell startup files, such as ~/.profile. Instead, - the environment is defined using a special environment file, .MacOSX/environment.plist. - This file can be created with the MacOSX utility /Developer/Applications/PropertyListEditor.app. - - - - - - - For further information, please click here.

-
-

X11
-

-
-

Is it possible to work in batch mode without a physical - display?
-

-

DS9 is written as an interactive, window client program, and - as a result, does require a window server to be available for - rendering (X11, Windows, or MacOSX).
-
- Therefore, using DS9 as a batch process can be cumbersome. We - recommend using xvfb under X11. Just set up a - virtual display buffer, reset your DISPLAY variable, then - invoke DS9 with a number of command line options or use xpa - from a shell script as a batch processor. Example:
-

-

% export DISPLAY=:1
- % Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x16 &
- % ds9 -file cmap.fits -zoom to fit -cmap b -grid - skyformat degrees -grid yes -regions ../EMS-names.reg - -saveimage png mytest.png -exit
-

-

When I start DS9, I get the following error message:

- _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for - foo.bar.edu
- couldn't connect to display "foo.bar.edu:0.0"  
-

DS9 is unable to determine a valid X11 Display server, - because of a number of reasons. Most often this is seen when - you have a laptop configured for a network, but is not - physically connected. You need to set the DISPLAY environment - variable to :0.0

-
$ xhost +
- $ set DISPLAY=:0.0
- $ export DISPLAY
-
-

Under Solaris, when I start DS9, my twm window manager - crashes!

-

TWM distributed with X11R5 had a major bug, that was - corrected around 1996. DS9 will trigger this bug, and will - cause TWM to crash. If you are running Solaris, and have X11R5 - installed, be sure that /usr/openwin/bin is in your path - before X11R5/bin. This will insure that you are running the - correct version of TWM .

-

When I run ds9 with the tvtwm window manager, sometimes - the open file dialog box does not appear?

-

If you are running tvtwm, and you are currently viewing a - virtual screen other than the first, when you open a file, the - dialog box will appear in the first virtual screen, not your - current. This is a bug with tvtwm and not ds9.

IRAF

-
-
-
-
-
-
-

I can't use more than 9 frames with the IMEXAMINE task?
-

-

The task IMEXAMINE can not be used with frame - numbers greater than 9.

-

Can I display from IRAF to DS9 running under Windows or - MacOSX?

-

Yes, DS9 for Windows and MacOSX is also a fully functional - IRAF display server. 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.

-
$ setenv IMTDEV inet:5137:foo.bar.edu
- $ cl
- cl> display dev$pix
-
-
-
-
-

I'm having problems with mscred task msczero?

- DS9 now supports IRAF's new IIS image display protocol. However, - there is one minor problem with the mscred task msczero. - Before using msczero, issue the following command in the - cl:
-
- cl> set disable_wcs_maps=""
- cl> flpr
-

I find that there is a frustrating delay in performing - operations on images displayed from IRAF - there's a wait of - a second or two before an image is (re)displayed, whereas saoimage - reacts virtually instantly for the same type of operation. - This makes running imexamine on a batch of images a pain, - and using the mouse to change color gamma/bias to desired - values basically impossible.

-

DS9 and saoimage are similar in speed when working - with IRAF. 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, saoimage and - ximtool only  use a single buffer. So with saoimage - and ximtool, 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.

-

DS9 runs in both 8 bit and 24 bit environments, but saoimage - is restricted to 8 bit. If you are running DS9 and saoimage - 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.

-

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 saoimage does not - even run in 24 bit mode, so there are no  comparisons.

-

I try to display an image from IRAF and I get the - following error message:

-

Cannot open device (node!imtool,,512,512)

-

-

DS9 works the same way as ximtool, saoimage, - and saotng. No special scripts  should be - needed. If you have one of the above currently working, DS9 - should  work out of the box.

-

IRAF can use one of three methods to communicate with DS9: - fifo, socket, and unix  domain name. The DS9 defaults - are:

-
fifo /dev/imt1
- port 5137
- unix /tmp/.IMT%d
-

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. DS9 uses the same  - command line options as XIMTOOL:

-
-fifo
- -fifo_only
- -inet_only
- -port
- -port_only
- -unix
- -unix_only
-
-
-
-
-
-

I try to display an image, I see something, but it's - corrupted and I get multiple error messages from DS9...

-

An IRAF image server (ximtool, saoimage, - DS9, etc...) uses a configuration file  to specify the - number of available buffers and their sizes. What actually - passes  from IRAF is not the buffer size, but an index - number into this file.

-

So when an image server starts (DS9), it will attempt to - locate this file as  $HOME/.imtoolrc and - /usr/local/lib/imtoolrc. If not found, it will look for - shell  environment variables IMTOOLRC and imtoolrc, that - contains the name of the configuration file.

-

If no configuration file is found, DS9 will assume the - following default configuration:

-
 1  2  512  512  # - imt1|imt512
-  2  2  800  800  # imt2|imt800
-  3  2 1024 1024  # imt3|imt1024
-  4  1 1600 1600  # imt4|imt1600
-  5  1 2048 2048  # imt5|imt2048
-  6  1 4096 4096  # imt6|imt4096
-  7  1 8192 8192  # imt7|imt8192
-  8  1 1024 4096  # imt8|imt1x4
-  9  2 1144  880  # imt9|imtfs full - screen (1152x900 minus frame)
- 10  2 1144  764  # imt10|imtfs35 full - screen at 35mm film aspect ratio
- 11  2  128  128  # imt11|imt128
- 12  2  256  256  # imt12|imt256
- 13  2  128 1056  # imt13|imttall128 tall - & narrow for spectro.
- 14  2  256 1056  # imt14|imttall256 tall - & wider for spectro.
- 15  2 1056  128  # imt15|imtwide128 wide - & thin for spectro.
- 16  2 1056  256  # imt16|imtwide256 wide - & fatter for spectro.
- 17  2 1008  648  # imt17|imtssy Solitaire - fmt w/ imtool border
- 18  2 1024  680  # imt18|imtssn Solitaire - fmt w/out imtool border
- 19  1 4096 1024  # imt19|imt4x1
-
-

If on the other hand, IRAF assumes a different buffer size, - the image will appear corrupted and DS9 may issue a number of - error messages.

-

Another problem is that this file must be in sync with - dev$graphcap. If your  system administrator has made - changes to graphcap, they must also be implemented in - imtoolrc.

-

Here is a note from NOAO:

-
-

The messages means that there is no - /usr/local/lib/imtoolrc file on the machine. - This is created as a symlink to dev$imtoolrc by the iraf - - - - - - - install script but only if the /usr/local/lib dir already - exists on the machine. The fix is the create the - dir and rerun the install script or else make - the link by hand.  Users can also just copy - dev$imtoolrc to $HOME/.imtoolrc and restart the - server to also workaround it. Note that an - existing .imtoolrc might define old frame buffer configs - which might confuse things, so if the system - file exists check for a private copy screwing - things up.

-
-
-
-
-
-

Where do I find this .imtoolrc file?

-

Again, here a note from NOAO concerning this issue:

-
-

In a smooth installation the imtoolrc file is installed - as a /usr/local/lib/imtoolrc symlink pointing to - the dev$imtoolrc file in the iraf system.  - This is normally what's used but XImtool (and DS9?) also allow - - - - - - - a $HOME/.imtoolrc and IMTOOLRC environment variable - defining the path as fallbacks.  There are - several practical problems with  this:  for some - - - - - - - reason (I'm trying to fix) the imtoolrc link won't be - created if the /usr/local/lib directory doesn't - exist when the install script is run on the - machine, even though it's run as root and the file can be - directory easily.  On PC-IRAF systems there is - also a typo in the install script (extra logical - or at line 515) which causes it to exit before the - - - - - - - display setup is run (i.e. no /dev fifos or imtoolrc). If - users don't catch this or see it in the README - file they'll think everything went fine. Lastly, - the local iraf admin might not have run the install script - on the local iraf NFS client machine at all.

-

-
-

When I display an image from IRAF, the SCALE menu option - is not active, Why?

-

When you display an image from IRAF into DS9, IRAF actually - does the color scale  distribution. In Display, use the - ztrans and z1,z2 parameters to set the upper/lower bounds and - distribution. You can also use the zscale parameter to auto - determine z1,z2.Here are the DISPLAY parameters in question:

-
ztrans=[linear|log|none|user]
- z1=min
- z2=max
- zscale=[yes|no]
-

What actually is sent from IRAF to DS9 is one byte per pixel, - values 0-200,  which already has applied both the upper - and lower clipping bounds and the distribution. So this is - why, the SCALE menu is disabled in DS9 when it receives a - image from IRAF.

-
-
-
-

Coordinates

-
-
-
-

Why don't I see PHYSICAL/WCS/WCSA...WCSZ coordinates - displayed when I load my image?

-

DS9 supports the following coordinate systems:

-
WCS Sky coords (fk4,fk5,icrs,galactic,ecliptic) -
- WCS Linear coords
- Image (also known as Logical)
- Physical (also known as CCD)
- Detector
- Amplifier  
-
-

DS9 uses the following FITS keywords in the header to define - a coordinate system:  

-
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Coordinate SystemKeyword Values
WCS / WCSA...WCSZCRVAL,CRPIX,CRDELT,CD... (for images)
- TCRVL,TCRPX,TCDLT,... (for tables)
Imagenone required
PhysicalWCSNAMEP='PHYSICAL' or LTMx_x/LTVx
Detector
- 		DTMx_x/DTVx
-
Amplifier
- 		ATMx_x/ATVx
-
-
-
-

If the required keywords are not present, values for those - coordinates are not displayed.

-

Note: For PHYSICAL, DS9 will first look for an alternative - WCS with WCSNAMEx='PHYSICAL'. If not found, DS9 will then look - for the LTMx_x LTVx keywords.

-
-
-
-

Regions

-
-

How do I indicate distance on my printed images?  -

-

You have two choices, the RULER region and the LINE region. - The ruler region is mainly used for interactive measurements. - For printed output, use the LINE region to create a distance - indicator. In the line region dialog, there is a read-only - entry that indicates the length in pixels, degrees, arcmin, or - arcsec. Edit to the desired distance and enter the desired - label, including ' or ", in the region text labile entry. You - have the option of arrows at each end of the line.

-
-
-
-

Printing

-
-

I can make some wonderful color images in DS9 and save - them as postscript files that look great, but often when I - print them they appear washed out or very different than - they do on the screen. My question then is what, if - anything, can I do about this?

-

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.

-

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 apply 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.

-

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.

-

However, there are some rules of thumb that might - help. First, printers have a very hard time with blues - and purples, as they tend to be washed out. Either - avoid these colors, or over compensate these colors. 

-

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.

-

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.

-

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.

-

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:

-
-

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.
-

-
-

For this reason, you may wish to use the RGB color space or - colormaps without deep blues and purples, such as BB - or Heat.

XPA

-
-

How can I use XPA to display from a client machine to DS9 - on a server machine?
-

-

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. To make this work, you need - to do two things (let's assume DS9 is running on a machine - called "server_host" and you want to send xpa commands from - "client_host"):
-

-
    -
  1. The XPA server program (i.e. DS9) must allow the client - host to send XPA commands. Access can be permitted in one of - two ways:
    -
      -
    1. Send the XPA server an acl request by running xpaset - on the same host on which the server is running (i.e. on - the server_host):
      -
      - % xpaset -p ds9 - -acl client_host +
      -
      -
      2. -
    2. For more permanent access, add permissions in - ~acls.xpa:
      -
      - % cat > - ~/acls.xpa
      - DS9:ds9 - client_host +
      -
      - You can check the acls for an XPA server using xpaget:
      -
      - % xpaget ds9 -acl
      -
      -
      3. -
    -
    2. -
  2. On the client side, the client needs to communicate with - the xpansname server program on the server machine to find - the XPA server communication info. This also can be done in - two ways:
    -
      -
    1. use the -i [host] switch to override XPA_NSINET for - this execution (The default port is 14285):
      -
      - % xpaget -i 'server_host:14285' ds9
      -
      -
      2. -
    2. Set the XPA_NSINET - variable for more permanent selection of xpans on the - server host:
      -
      - % setenv - XPA_NSINET 'server_host:14285'
      -
      3. -
    -
    3. -
-

Once these two setup steps are performed, you should be able - to send commands to DS9 and receive data from DS9. You can - look at the xpaacl - man page for more information.

-

I have a laptop, that most of the time, is connected to a - network. DS9 runs fine. However, when I'm not connected to a - network and I start DS9, it hangs. What's going on?

-

 DS9 uses XPA for interprocess communication. When DS9 - starts, XPA initializes itself. XPA uses either IP sockets or - UNIX sockets, based if your machine is configured to connect - to the internet. In the case where your machine is configured - for the internet, but you are not currently connected, XPA - gets very confused. So, you can define a shell variable, - XPA_METHOD, that tells XPA which method to use.

-

The following is from the XPA documentation:

-
-

Determines the socket connection method used by this - session of XPA. The choices are: inet (to use INET or - Internet-based sockets) and local (unix) (to use UNIX - sockets). The default is INET. Using the inet method will - allow access from other machines (subject to access - controls) but using local will not. Local is most useful - for private access and when the machine in question is not - connected to the Internet

-
-

More information is available on XPA shell variables at: The XPA - Environment

This FAQ is a new, on going project, and it is far from being +complete. But as common questions on DS9 are received, the FAQ will +be updated.

DS9 is composed of approximately 20 open source packages, all of +which are distributed under their own open source license +agreements, usually GPL, LGPL, or BSD. In addition, several open +source packages have been developed here at the Smithsonian +Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, MA, USA and are distributed +under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation. As long as you continue to adhere to +the provisions of the licenses, you are free to distribute DS9 +along with your software.

+

The GNU site +contains an excellent FAQ on the the dos and donts of GPL.

+
+

General

+
+

The web browser, catalog tool, image server, and other +Analysis functions don't appear to work. Whats going +on?

+

For a number of the Analysis functions, DS9 requires temporary +disk space to download and store data. By default, this directory +is defined by the TMP or TEMP environment variable. This is usually +defined as /tmp 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.

+

My system admin stripped the DS9 binary and now DS9 fails to +start with the following error message:

+

Application initialization failed: Can't find a usable +tk.tcl in the following directories...

+

DS9 is based on tcl/tk which is a scripting language which +requires many support files. To create a stand alone application, +we fool 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.

+

It appears that the strip command is stripping +part of the archive, hence DS9 is unable to un-compress it. In +summary, don't strip the DS9 binary and everything works +fine.

+

When I open my FITS image, all I see is 'white'. Yet +everything, including the color bar seems to work?

+

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. You can also +change the default behavior by disabling DATASEC from the +preferences menu.

+
+

Fonts

+
+

Where is the Symbol Font? How do I enter special characters +into an entry dialog?

+

The concept of a separate SYMBOL font is no longer +implemented with the latest OS font and scripting support, +especially with scalable anti-alias fonts such as Xft for Linux. +Most newer fonts (if not all) now have greek characters as part of +the font. The greek chars start at unicode \u0391 for 'A' and +\u03b1 for 'a'. Each OS has a tool used to build and copy a string +of characters. Then use the Edit:Paste menu of DS9 to insert the +character string.

+

Linux- Gnome: gucharmap
 Linux- KDE: +kcharselect
 MacOSX: Character Viewer (Select +Edit:Special Characters) Now click and drag the characters +to a terminal window. Then select the string and select +Edit:Copy.
+Windows: Character Map (from Start button, select +All Programs, Accessories, System Tools +and then Character Map)

+
+

Linux

+
+

My /tmp directory is mounted -noexec and bin table filtering +does not work.

+

Set the environment variable FILTER_TMPDIR to a directory that +is both writable and can execute.

+

I have Red Hat 7, and I'm running KDE. The magnifier keeps +going blank after a few seconds, what's going on?

+

The problem was in KDE. If the user has decided to hide the +panel taskbar and  sets a delay time for when it appears if +the mouse is moved to the panel  location, then it appears +that KDE creates mouse events that fool DS9 into  thinking the +mouse is outside and it blanks the magnifier. By turning off +the  hide panel, the effect goes away. The alternative is to +update to KDE2.1Beta  where this method of dealing with the +hidden panel is not used and all is  well, as it was for +KDE

+

I have FreeBSD. When I run ds9, I get the following +error:   ELF binary type "0" not known +Whats going on?

+

The solution was to use the brandelf utility on +the file to ensure that the machine understood that it  was a +Linux program.

+

% brandelf -t Linux (file name)

+
+

Windows

+
+

When I do Save Image, I get the same result (and this is true +for either .gif, .jpeg, .tiff, .png and .ppm) : it saves only a +stripe at the top of my image.

+

This problem seems to be caused by running DS9 in Windows XP +compatibility mode. Please un-check the compatibility option in the +properties dialog.

+

How can I open a FITS file with an extension name?

+

By default, the windows port of DS9 uses the Windows standard +dialog box to open and save files. This can be a problem in that +the native Windows dialog will not allow extensions to the file +name, such as foo.fits[2]. You must use the Unix like +standard dialogs to be able to specify an extension. Select +Edit->Preferences->General:Dialogbox to change the +default standard dialog.

+

Every time I create an auxiliary window in ds9, such as a +Pixel Table, or Analysis Plot, it will retreat behind the main ds9 +window. Then, when I bring the auxiliary window to the front and +move the mouse out of it, it automatically goes behind the main ds9 +window again. What can I do to fix things so that the auxiliary +window stays on top of the ds9 window?

+

To fix things so that the auxiliary window stays on top of the +ds9 window, do the following:

+
+

Go to the icon task bar at the bottom of the screen. +Bring the auxiliary window to the front by clicking on its icon +in the icon task bar. While the mouse still is on the aux +window icon, press the mouse button, and keeping it pressed, move +the mouse off the task bar. Release the mouse while off +the task bar. The auxiliary window will now stay on top of +the main ds9 window.

+
+
+

MacOSX

+
+

I can't invoke the 'Save Image' function from the MacOSX X11 +version. I get an error message "An error has occurred while +creating the image. Please make sure entire image is visible on +screen."

+Up until MacOSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion), Apple provided their own +version of a X11 server. At first, it was based on XFree86 +(X11R6.6) and available with versions up to MacOSX 10.4. Later with +MacOSX versions 10.5 to 10.7, the Apple's X11 server was based upon +X.org (X11R7.2).
+
+The Apple version of X11 server for MacOSX 10.5 to 10.7 contains a +bug which fails if you invoke certain X11 calls on a window if its +location is not at 0,0 on the screen. Hence, within DS9, if you +'Save Image' and your window is not exactly in the upper left +corner, it will fail.
+
+Again, this only affects users of MacOSX 10.5 to 10.7.
+
+Starting with MacOSX 10.8, Apple no longer provides a X11 window +server. The user must go to the XQuartz site and download/install +directly. The current version is 2.7.3.
+

When I invoke DS9 MacOSX Aqua from the command line, I get +weird errors such as:

+
+

The document "foo.fits" could not be opened. SAOImage DS9 +cannot open files in the "Flexible Image Transport System" +format.

+
+

When opening MacOSX Aqua from the command line, it is better to +use the OPEN application as opposed to specifying the +binary directly. The OPEN application sets up the +environment just as it is when a user double clicks.

+# good
+% open /Applications/SAOImage\ DS9.app foo.fits
+
+# bad
+% /Applications/SAOImage\ DS9.app/Contents/MacOS/ds9 +bar.fits
+

How can I open a FITS file with an extension name?

+

By default, DS9 MacOSX Aqua uses the MacOSX standard dialog box +to open and save files. This can be a problem in that the native +MacOSX dialog will not allow extensions to the file name, such as +foo.fits[2]. You must use the Unix like standard dialogs +to be able to specify an extension. Select +Edit->Preferences->General to change the default +standard dialog.

+

How do I set my PATH environment variable under MacOSX for +use with external analysis programs, such as funtools?

+

When you double click on a MacOSX application, it does not parse +any shell startup files, such as ~/.profile. Instead, the +environment is defined using a special environment file, +.MacOSX/environment.plist. This file can be created with +the MacOSX utility +/Developer/Applications/PropertyListEditor.app. For +further information, please click here.

+
+

X11

+
+

Is it possible to work in batch mode without a physical +display?

+

DS9 is written as an interactive, window client program, and as +a result, does require a window server to be available for +rendering (X11, Windows, or MacOSX).
+
+Therefore, using DS9 as a batch process can be cumbersome. We +recommend using xvfb under X11. Just set up a virtual +display buffer, reset your DISPLAY variable, then invoke DS9 with a +number of command line options or use xpa from a shell script as a +batch processor. Example:

+

% export DISPLAY=:1
 % Xvfb :1 -screen +0 1024x768x16 &
 % ds9 -file cmap.fits +-zoom to fit -cmap b -grid skyformat degrees -grid yes -regions +../EMS-names.reg -saveimage png mytest.png -exit

+

When I start DS9, I get the following error message:

+_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for +foo.bar.edu
+couldn't connect to display "foo.bar.edu:0.0"  
+

DS9 is unable to determine a valid X11 Display server, because +of a number of reasons. Most often this is seen when you have a +laptop configured for a network, but is not physically connected. +You need to set the DISPLAY environment variable to :0.0

+
$ xhost +
+$ set DISPLAY=:0.0
+$ export DISPLAY
+

Under Solaris, when I start DS9, my twm window manager +crashes!

+

TWM distributed with X11R5 had a major bug, that was corrected +around 1996. DS9 will trigger this bug, and will cause TWM to +crash. If you are running Solaris, and have X11R5 installed, be +sure that /usr/openwin/bin is in your path before X11R5/bin. This +will insure that you are running the correct version of TWM .

+

When I run ds9 with the tvtwm window manager, sometimes the +open file dialog box does not appear?

+

If you are running tvtwm, and you are currently viewing a +virtual screen other than the first, when you open a file, the +dialog box will appear in the first virtual screen, not your +current. This is a bug with tvtwm and not ds9.

+
+
+
+

IRAF

+
+
+
+

I can't use more than 9 frames with the IMEXAMINE +task?

+

The task IMEXAMINE can not be used with frame numbers +greater than 9.

+

Can I display from IRAF to DS9 running under Windows or +MacOSX?

+

Yes, DS9 for Windows and MacOSX is also a fully functional IRAF +display server. 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.

+
$ setenv IMTDEV inet:5137:foo.bar.edu
+$ cl
+cl> display dev$pix
+

I'm having problems with mscred task +msczero?

+DS9 now supports IRAF's new IIS image display protocol. However, +there is one minor problem with the mscred task +msczero. Before using msczero, issue the following +command in the cl:
+
+cl> set disable_wcs_maps=""
+cl> flpr
+

I find that there is a frustrating delay in performing +operations on images displayed from IRAF - there's a wait of a +second or two before an image is (re)displayed, whereas +saoimage reacts virtually instantly for the same type of +operation. This makes running imexamine on a batch of images a +pain, and using the mouse to change color gamma/bias to desired +values basically impossible.

+

DS9 and saoimage are similar in speed when working with +IRAF. 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, saoimage and ximtool +only  use a single buffer. So with saoimage and +ximtool, 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.

+

DS9 runs in both 8 bit and 24 bit environments, but +saoimage is restricted to 8 bit. If you are running DS9 and +saoimage 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.

+

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 saoimage +does not even run in 24 bit mode, so there are no  +comparisons.

+

I try to display an image from IRAF and I get the following +error message:

+

Cannot open device (node!imtool,,512,512)

+

DS9 works the same way as ximtool, saoimage, +and saotng. No special scripts  should be needed. If +you have one of the above currently working, DS9 should  work +out of the box.

+

IRAF can use one of three methods to communicate with DS9: fifo, +socket, and unix  domain name. The DS9 defaults are:

+
fifo /dev/imt1
+port 5137
+unix /tmp/.IMT%d
+

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. DS9 uses the same  command line +options as XIMTOOL:

+
-fifo
+-fifo_only
+-inet_only
+-port
+-port_only
+-unix
+-unix_only
+
+
+
+
+

I try to display an image, I see something, but it's +corrupted and I get multiple error messages from DS9...

+

An IRAF image server (ximtool, saoimage, DS9, +etc...) uses a configuration file  to specify the number of +available buffers and their sizes. What actually passes  from +IRAF is not the buffer size, but an index number into this +file.

+

So when an image server starts (DS9), it will attempt to locate +this file as  $HOME/.imtoolrc and /usr/local/lib/imtoolrc. If +not found, it will look for shell  environment variables +IMTOOLRC and imtoolrc, that contains the name of the configuration +file.

+

If no configuration file is found, DS9 will assume the following +default configuration:

+
 1  2  512  512  # +imt1|imt512
+ 2  2  800  800  # +imt2|imt800
+ 3  2 1024 1024  # imt3|imt1024
+ 4  1 1600 1600  # imt4|imt1600
+ 5  1 2048 2048  # imt5|imt2048
+ 6  1 4096 4096  # imt6|imt4096

+10  2 1144  764  # imt10|imtfs35 full screen at +35mm film aspect ratio
+11  2  128  128  # imt11|imt128

+13  2  128 1056  # imt13|imttall128 tall & +narrow for spectro.
+14  2  256 1056  # imt14|imttall256 tall & +wider for spectro.
+15  2 1056  128  # imt15|imtwide128 wide & +thin for spectro.
+16  2 1056  256  # imt16|imtwide256 wide & +fatter for spectro.
+17  2 1008  648  # imt17|imtssy Solitaire fmt w/ +imtool border
+18  2 1024  680  # imt18|imtssn Solitaire fmt +w/out imtool border
+19  1 4096 1024  # imt19|imt4x1
+

If on the other hand, IRAF assumes a different buffer size, the +image will appear corrupted and DS9 may issue a number of error +messages.

+

Another problem is that this file must be in sync with +dev$graphcap. If your  system administrator has made changes +to graphcap, they must also be implemented in imtoolrc.

+

Here is a note from NOAO:

+
+

The messages means that there is no /usr/local/lib/imtoolrc +file on the machine. This is created as a symlink to +dev$imtoolrc by the iraf install script but only if the +/usr/local/lib dir already exists on the machine. The fix +is the create the dir and rerun the install script or else +make the link by hand.  Users can also just copy +dev$imtoolrc to $HOME/.imtoolrc and restart the server to +also workaround it. Note that an existing .imtoolrc might +define old frame buffer configs which might confuse +things, so if the system file exists check for a private +copy screwing things up.

+
+
+
+
+
+

Where do I find this .imtoolrc file?

+

Again, here a note from NOAO concerning this issue:

+
+

In a smooth installation the imtoolrc file is installed as +a /usr/local/lib/imtoolrc symlink pointing to the +dev$imtoolrc file in the iraf system.  This is +normally what's used but XImtool (and DS9?) also allow a +$HOME/.imtoolrc and IMTOOLRC environment variable defining the +path as fallbacks.  There are several practical problems +with  this:  for some reason (I'm trying to fix) +the imtoolrc link won't be created if the /usr/local/lib +directory doesn't exist when the install script is run on +the machine, even though it's run as root and the file can be +directory easily.  On PC-IRAF systems there is also a typo +in the install script (extra logical or at line 515) which +causes it to exit before the display setup is run (i.e. no +/dev fifos or imtoolrc). If users don't catch this or see +it in the README file they'll think everything went fine. +Lastly, the local iraf admin might not have run the install +script on the local iraf NFS client machine at +all.

+
+
+
+
+
+

When I display an image from IRAF, the SCALE menu option is +not active, Why?

+

When you display an image from IRAF into DS9, IRAF actually does +the color scale  distribution. In Display, use the ztrans and +z1,z2 parameters to set the upper/lower bounds and distribution. +You can also use the zscale parameter to auto determine z1,z2.Here +are the DISPLAY parameters in question:

+
ztrans=[linear|log|none|user]
+z1=min
+z2=max
+zscale=[yes|no]
+

What actually is sent from IRAF to DS9 is one byte per pixel, +values 0-200,  which already has applied both the upper and +lower clipping bounds and the distribution. So this is why, the +SCALE menu is disabled in DS9 when it receives a image from +IRAF.

+
+
+
+

Coordinates

+
+
+
+

Why don't I see PHYSICAL/WCS/WCSA...WCSZ coordinates +displayed when I load my image?

+

DS9 supports the following coordinate systems:

+
WCS Sky coords +(fk4,fk5,icrs,galactic,ecliptic)
 WCS Linear +coords
 Image (also known as Logical)
 +Physical (also known as CCD)
+Detector
+Amplifier  
+

DS9 uses the following FITS keywords in the header to define a +coordinate system:  

+
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Coordinate SystemKeyword Values
WCS / WCSA...WCSZCRVAL,CRPIX,CRDELT,CD... (for images)
+TCRVL,TCRPX,TCDLT,... (for tables)
Imagenone required
PhysicalWCSNAMEP='PHYSICAL' or LTMx_x/LTVx
Detector
DTMx_x/DTVx
Amplifier
ATMx_x/ATVx
+
+
+

If the required keywords are not present, values for those +coordinates are not displayed.

+

Note: For PHYSICAL, DS9 will first look for an alternative WCS +with WCSNAMEx='PHYSICAL'. If not found, DS9 will then look for the +LTMx_x LTVx keywords.

+
+
+
+

Regions

+
+

How do I indicate distance on my printed +images? 

+

You have two choices, the RULER region and the LINE region. The +ruler region is mainly used for interactive measurements. For +printed output, use the LINE region to create a distance indicator. +In the line region dialog, there is a read-only entry that +indicates the length in pixels, degrees, arcmin, or arcsec. Edit to +the desired distance and enter the desired label, including ' or ", +in the region text labile entry. You have the option of arrows at +each end of the line.

+

I can make some wonderful color images in DS9 and save them +as postscript files that look great, but often when I print them +they appear washed out or very different than they do on the +screen. My question then is what, if anything, can I do about +this?

+

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.

+

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 apply 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.

+

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.

+

However, there are some rules of thumb that might help. +First, printers have a very hard time with blues and +purples, as they tend to be washed out. Either avoid these +colors, or over compensate these colors. 

+

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.

+

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.

+

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.

+

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:

+
+

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.

+
+

For this reason, you may wish to use the RGB color space or +colormaps without deep blues and purples, such as BB or +Heat.

+

+

XPA

+
+

How can I use XPA to display from a client machine to DS9 on +a server machine?

+

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. To make this work, you need to do two things +(let's assume DS9 is running on a machine called "server_host" and +you want to send xpa commands from "client_host"):

+
    +
  1. The XPA server program (i.e. DS9) must allow the client host to +send XPA commands. Access can be permitted in one of two ways:
    +
      +
    1. Send the XPA server an acl request by running xpaset on the +same host on which the server is running (i.e. on the +server_host):
      +
      +% xpaset -p ds9 -acl +client_host +
      +
      2. +
    2. For more permanent access, add permissions in ~acls.xpa:
      +
      +% cat > +~/acls.xpa
      +DS9:ds9 client_host ++

      +You can check the acls for an XPA server using xpaget:
      +
      +% xpaget ds9 +-acl

      3. +
    +
    2. +
  2. On the client side, the client needs to communicate with the +xpansname server program on the server machine to find the XPA +server communication info. This also can be done in two ways:
    +
      +
    1. use the -i [host] switch to override XPA_NSINET for this execution (The +default port is 14285):
      +
      +% xpaget -i 'server_host:14285' ds9
      +
      2. +
    2. Set the XPA_NSINET +variable for more permanent selection of xpans on the server +host:
      +
      +% setenv XPA_NSINET +'server_host:14285'
      3. +
    +
    3. +
+

Once these two setup steps are performed, you should be able to +send commands to DS9 and receive data from DS9. You can look at the +xpaacl man +page for more information.

+

I have a laptop, that most of the time, is connected to a +network. DS9 runs fine. However, when I'm not connected to a +network and I start DS9, it hangs. What's going on?

+

 DS9 uses XPA for interprocess communication. When DS9 +starts, XPA initializes itself. XPA uses either IP sockets or UNIX +sockets, based if your machine is configured to connect to the +internet. In the case where your machine is configured for the +internet, but you are not currently connected, XPA gets very +confused. So, you can define a shell variable, XPA_METHOD, that +tells XPA which method to use.

+

The following is from the XPA documentation:

+
+

Determines the socket connection method used by this session +of XPA. The choices are: inet (to use INET or Internet-based +sockets) and local (unix) (to use UNIX sockets). The default is +INET. Using the inet method will allow access from other machines +(subject to access controls) but using local will not. Local is +most useful for private access and when the machine in question is +not connected to the Internet

+
+

More information is available on XPA shell variables at: +The XPA +Environment

+
+
+
+

VO

+
+

I can't connect to any of the virtual observatories. What do +I do now?

+

The DS9 help facility now contains a tutorial on how to +configure DS9 to by pass network firewalls. See Virtual Observatory Reference for more +information.

+
    +
  1. Fixes a rather nasty bug with coordinates.
    2. +
  2. XPA version 2.b32
    3. +

  3. +example:
    +$ ds9&
    +$ xpaget DS9 # will list all public access points
    +$ xpaset -p DS9 colormap BB # change colormap
    +$ xpaset -p DS9 file snr.fits # load a fits file

    +$ cat snr.fits | xpaset DS9 fits foo[key=RAWX,RAWY] # load via +XPA
    +Note: xpa class and name for ds9
    +-- xpa class : 'DS9'
    +-- xpa name  : 'DS9'
    +both class and name are case sensitive
    +To specify a different xpa name for this application use +the
    +-title command line option:
    +$ +ds9&            +# default name of 'DS9'
    +$ ds9 -title foo& # name of 'foo'
    +$ xpaset -p foo colormap BB # change colormap for +'foo'
    +$ xpaset -p :foo colormap A # change colormap for +'foo'
    +$ xpaset -p DS9:foo colormap BB # change colormap for +'foo'
    +$ xpaset -p DS9: colormap I8 # change colormap for 'DS9 & +foo'
    4. +
  4. fixed bug with zscale and minmax preferences
    5. +
  5. geometry command line option: $ ds9 -geometry +600x500

    2. +
  2. .Z, .z, and .gz files are supported
    3. +

  3. +example:
    +$ ds9 snr.fits.Z
    +$ ds9 snr.fits.z
    4. +
  4. url's are now supported
    5. +

  5. +example:
    +$ ds9 +ftp://legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov/rosat/data/hri/images/fits/rh100193_img.fits
    + +$ ds9 +http://legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/rosat/data/cdrom/vol1/IMAGES/00h/p000s26b.img.Z
    6. +
  6. fixed some minor problems with Mosaic Images
    7. +
  7. Support for FITS bin tables
    8. +

  8. +example:
    +$ ds9 snr.fits[2] # assume 'X' or 'x' and 'Y' or 'y' +column
    +$ ds9 snr.fits[EVENTS]
    +$ ds9 snr.fits # assumes EVENTS or STDEVT extension
    +$ ds9 snr.fits[key=RAWX,RAWY] # bin on RAWX/RAWY +column
    9. +
  9. Backward compatible with Einstein .xpa data for +bining
    10. +
  10. Contours are now supported
    11. +

  11. +You can generate contours for each frame and cut/paste them +into other frames. When you paste a contour, you choose which +coordinate system to translate the contour into. Obvisously, to +paste via WCS, each image must have a valid WCS. Printing of +image/contours also is supported.
    +The contour algorithm currently implemented is a general +purpose algorithm, good for most images. However, there are some +issues that make it less than optimal for sparse high energy data. +Therefor, next on the list is implemention of the 'Pros Imcontour' +algorithm.
    12. +
  12. Now supports ICRS WCS
    13. +
  13. Now Uses Tcl/Tk 8.0.4 and BLT 2.4g
    14. +
  14. Now uses Doug Minks's wcssubs 2.6.

      3. -
    3. 04.03.2002 ds9 will now automatically open as a bin - table - fits extension - named EVENTS, STDEVT, and RAYEVENT.
      4. -

    -
      -
    1. 02.04.2002 upgraded to ast version 1.8.6. 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).
      2. -
    2. 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_.
      3. -
    3. 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.
      4. -
    4. 02.06.2002 all xpa commands are now 'catch{}' to - invoke a - procedure - that will unwind the watch cursor stack. Hopefully, no more - stuck watch - cursors.

      8. -
    8. 02.13.2002 for XPA points array, fits, regions, and - wcs - (fillbuf=false), - manually flush the buffer at the end to make sure no data is - left
      9. -
    9. 02.13.2002 ecliptic coords from wcssubs corrected by - new - version of - wcs/wcscon.c
      10. -
    10. 02.13.2002 AST grids, corrected the MDJ-OBS keyword - generated - to generate - the correct EPOCH.
      11. -
    11. 02.13.2002 adjusted the EQUINOX value for ECLIPTIC - coords - for - ast grids - to agree with wcssubs. Seems for ecliptic coords, wcssubs - and ast use - two - slightly different interpretations of the EQUINOX value.

SAOImageDS9 Version 2.1 Release Notes

+
+

Version 2.1

+
    +
  1. 04.05.2002 fixed a problem with xpa contour load.
    2. +
  2. 04.22.2002 ds9 version 2.1 released to the +public.
    3. +
+

Version 2.1b7

+
    +
  1. 04.02.2002 upgrade to XPA 2.1.0e2. This fixes a problem +with xpa and linux/linuxppc.
    2. +
  2. 04.03.2002 fixed a problem with AST. plot.c, line 19463, +change parameter 'force' from 1 to 0 in call to 'CheckLabels'. +Sometimes we were seeing adj labels that where the same. This +change makes sure that the labels are 'reduced' if we have this +condition.
    3. +
  3. 04.03.2002 ds9 will now automatically open as a bin table +fits extension named EVENTS, STDEVT, and RAYEVENT.
    4. +
  4. 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.
    5. +
  5. 04.03.2002 now check for Ghostscript version 6.50 or higher +when invoking Save As.
    6. +
  6. 04.03.2002 add help application preference. Users can now +choose between Netscape and Mozilla as the prefered help +application.
    7. +
  7. 04.04.2002 ds9 version 2.1b7 released to the +public.
    8. +
+

Version 2.1b6

+
    +
  1. 02.04.2002 upgraded to ast version 1.8.6. 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).
    2. +
  2. 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_.
    3. +
  3. 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.
    4. +
  4. 02.06.2002 all xpa commands are now 'catch{}' to invoke a +procedure that will unwind the watch cursor stack. Hopefully, no +more stuck watch cursors.
    5. +
  5. 02.07.2002 add color and width parameters to +contours paste command. defaults are green and +1
    6. +
  6. 02.08.2002 fixed a problem with the FRAME menu. It was +cutting off the last separator.
    7. +
  7. 02.12.2002 AST grid still does not support ICRS properly. +When a user sets the coordinate system to ICRS, the actually +parameters sent to the AST grid code is FK5
    8. +
  8. 02.13.2002 for XPA points array, fits, regions, and wcs +(fillbuf=false), manually flush the buffer at the end to make sure +no data is left
    9. +
  9. 02.13.2002 ecliptic coords from wcssubs corrected by new +version of wcs/wcscon.c
    10. +
  10. 02.13.2002 AST grids, corrected the MDJ-OBS keyword +generated to generate the correct EPOCH.
    11. +

    9. +
  9. 04.18.2002 add a fix to ps level 2 driver to prevent a +'\n%' in the image data. Seems the perl script 'assemble' does a +global search/replace that results in corrupted image data. This +fix includes a redesign of a previous fix that worked around an +issue with old versions of dvips that will incorrectly +process'\n%%'.
    10. +

    17. +
  17. 05.13.2002 complete re-implemenation of map() functions. +Now all map functions are in the fits case, and only map between +REF and IMAGE/PHYSICAL/AMPLIFIER/DETECTOR/WCS/WCSA... coordinate +systems. This cleans up alot of code and confusion.
    18. +
  18. 05.14.2002 add support for TCROT and CDn_1 WCS keywords in +FITS bin tables.
    19. +
  19. 05.16.2002 dramatically speed up parsing wcs keywords by +substituting the fitsy++ index based keyword search routine for +Doug Mink's 'ksearch' routine. With multiple wcs's in a large +mosaic this can save up to a minute at load time.
    20. +

    14. +
  14. 02.07.03 HTTP: loading images via url http processes the +image based on the http header mime type and encoding, not the file +name. images loaded via url ftp are still processed based on file +name.

    16. +
  16. 02.11.03 BINNING: fixed a bug with the bin table smoothing +support. If the bin factor is large enough to bin the entire image +in the bin buffer, ds9 would segv by trying to read out of +bounds.

  50. 06.18.03 WCS: fix a problem with determining the rotation +of a wcs coordinate system. previously, CRPIX was used as the start +point. This does not work in cases where the tangent point is very +far off the image. Instead, (1,1) is used.
    51. +
  51. 06.18.03 WCS: Remove preference Panner WCS origin. This is +stupid and breaks with the previous change. Just remove it instead +of trying to fix it.

The Story of SAOImageDS9: How DS9 got its name
-

-
-

In 1990, Mike Van Hilst, at the Smithsonian Astrophysical - Observatory, Center for Astrophysics, Harvard University, - developed SAOImage. SAOImage was first implemented in X10, then - reimplemented in X11. In fact, it was one of the first X11 based - applications publicly made available. SAOImage was a brilliant - program, implementing techniques in scientific visualization 20 - years ago that are still being used by today's applications. - Since Mike's departure from SAO, SAOImage has been maintained by - Jessica Mink.

-

In the mid 1990's, with the administrative support of Steve - Murray, Eric Mandel developed SAOtng, or (SAOImage, The Next - Generation), named after the Star Trek series. TNG was based on - IRAF's XIMTOOL graphics libraries and Tcl. It explored new GUI - interfaces and supported a new external analysis interface. In - particular, it utilized XPA, (X11 Public Access, also written by - Eric) which allowed TNG to be scripted via a shell, or from - other application.

-

In 1998, while working with Eric, William Joye began a complete - rewrite of TNG, based on the experience developed while - supporting TNG. This project was funded by the NASA Applied - Information Systems Research Program, under the title "Future - Directions for Astronomical Image Display". For lack of a name, - the new project was referred to as DS9, the logical extension of - the Star Trek series. The name continues to be in use. Current - funding is provided by the NASA High Energy Astrophysics Science - Archive Center and the Chandra X-ray Science Center.
-

-

DS9 is a Tcl/Tk application. 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.

-

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.

-

The first versions of DS9 were made available in 1999. Since - then, the popularity of DS9 has grown far beyond expectations.
