I have been working with Pythonmagic and …
[View More]numarray for a particular
astronomy project/technique, and IM has a few things I might use; nd_image
also has some interesting functions as well.
I want to align and specially stack 8-bit grayscale images from a FITS
cube, or BMP set, currently. So, my suggestions (hint, hint) are:
1. A method to shift an array to efficiently give the best alignment with
another. My brute force shifting and subtracting from the main image is
slow... Most programs I have seen align a selected sub-image, then shift
the whole image/array (without rotation, although that would be desirable)
My _main_ objective is to stack progressively-longer-exposure 8-bit images
into 16-bits, with the clipped pixels of longer exposures ignored in the
summing process. The value of each pixel must be weighted inversely
proportionately to it's exposure length (so shorter exposures "fill in" the
clipped areas of the long exposures).
So:
2. A fast method(ology) to do weighted sums of 2D arrays with a mask
available for each array.
I really do commend Peter and Edward for their contribution!
By the way, if you do wxPython and haven't tried Boa Constructor, you might
like it. I have been using the CVS version (now .2.8) for a few months, and
it's working nicely.

Hi,
Some people wanting to use pytables on FreeBSD would like to have UInt64
support, but numarray lacks support for it on this platform. As FreeBSD uses
gcc compiler, I think it's just a matter to add an "freebsd4-i386" entry in
generate.py.
Todd, may you please add such a support? Regarding to the other parameters,
LP64 (long pointer), HAS_FLOAT128 (128 floating point), I'm not sure, but
perhaps they maybe similar to the "linux2" platform. Anyone using FreeBSD
can give more hints?
Happy …
[View More]new year!,
