| Numdisplay provides the
capability to visualize numpy array objects using astronomical image
display tools such as DS9
or XIMTOOL
directly from the Python command
line. This task can display any numpy object, whether it was created
interactively or read in from a FITS file using PyFITS
on any platform which supports Python and numpy. This task has been
developed by the Science Software Branch at the Space Telescope Science
Institute. |
