| Abstract: |
Our Web interface to the HST archive (WDB) was substantially augmented during the past few months: A seamless integration of Java applets and CGI interfaces to the database now allow basic manipulation and visualization of data. WDB can now delegate subtasks to Java applets. We use this ability to visualize quick-look (Preview) data with two applets: JIPA and Spectral for direct FITS images and spectra visualization respectively. They both allow basic data manipulation such as contrast enhancement, zooming or X/Y plots. Another utility, the Skymap applet, can display the location of HST observations on a sky projection. These applets only require a common Web browser and offer very helpful features to facilitate archive data selection. |
