<blockquote>
<p>To create an image from a FITS Bin Table, the user needs to
specify a binning factor, binning buffer size, and the binning
function.<br>
</p>
<p>The Binning (or Block) Factor is defined as the following: A
value greater or equal to zero. This value indicates the number
of pixel values that will fall into a particular bin.<br>
</p>
<p>The Bin Buffer Size is overall size of the image generated.
This has no relation to min and max values of the columns used
to create the image. <br>
</p>
<p>The Bin Function is defined as the following: Average - all
pixel values that fall into one pixel bin are averaged. Sum -
all pixel values that fall into one pixel bin are summed.<br>
</p>
<p>Bin to Fit Frame will calculate a bin block factor as a power
of 2 that will allow the entire data space to be displayed in
the current frame. </p>
<p>By default, DS9 will bin about the center of the image. To
determine the center of the image, DS9 will look for the
following keywords in order:</p>
<blockquote> <tt>TDMIN/TDMAX<br>
TLMIN/TLMAX<br>
TALEN<br>
AXLEN</tt> </blockquote>
<p>If no valid keywords are found, DS9 will define the center as
the middle of the possible data space based on the coordinate
data type.</p>
