| Abstract: |
A number of new and important features have been implemented in DS9 version 4.0, including:
•Catalogs: DS9 provides full support for loading, displaying, filtering, and saving catalogs. Most major catalogs can be retrieved from on-line servers.
•GUI Configuration: optional layout configurations are now supported. •
Improved Regions Support: several new regions types have been implemented, including vector, ellipse panda, and box panda. The PostScript drivers for printing regions have been greatly improved, resulting in the generation of smaller files.
•Composite Regions: it is now possible to construct, load, and save regions consisting of more than one shape.
•Templates: a template is a region description in a relative world coordinate system.
•Instrument Field of View: a number of popular instrument FOV templates have been added to DS9, including templates for Chandra, SAO MMT, and XMM-Newton. |
