This software provides an interface to the DS9 image display and analysis program.
This software provides access to the DS9 image display and analysis program through its XPA access points. DS9 is a rather flexible and feature-rich image display program. Potential users are encouraged to consult the website in "REQUIREMENTS" for a full run-down of its capabilities.
At present, this class is rather bare, providing a low level interface to the XPA access points. However, there are plans to develop an elegant framework that will make life easier for users.
To use Image::DS9, users should first create an Image::DS9 object, and then apply its methods. It is also possible to address more than one DS9 with a single object, as well as having multiple Image::DS9 objects communicate with their own DS9 invocations. However, this software is still in development and there will be documentation spelling out how to do this in the future.
Overall, Image::DS9 is a promising software with the potential to make DS9 image display and analysis program even more accessible and user-friendly.
