From perry at stsci.edu Fri Nov 12 14:06:09 2004 From: perry at stsci.edu (Perry Greenfield) Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 14:06:09 -0500 Subject: [Astropy] TABLES/STSDAS v3.3 and STSCI_PYTHON v2.0 NOW AVAILABLE Message-ID: ******************************************************* TABLES/STSDAS v3.3 and STSCI_PYTHON v2.0 NOW AVAILABLE ******************************************************* The Science Software Branch of the Space Telescope Science Institute wishes to announce the availability of version 3.3 of the Space Telescope Science Data Analysis Software (STSDAS). Concurrent with the STSDAS release, we have also released v3.3 of the TABLES external package. Both of these packages are layered upon IRAF as external packages; it is therefore necessary to obtain and install IRAF (from http://iraf.noao.edu) before installing TABLES and STSDAS. STSDAS is linked against libraries in TABLES, so TABLES must be installed before STSDAS. STSDAS includes some Python-based tasks; running these requires the STScI Python Libraries to be installed (all the non-Python tasks can be used in the traditional way and do not require Python or the STScI Python libraries). These tasks can only be run from PyRAF using standard IRAF CL task syntax, or within Python scripts using Python syntax. The Science Software Branch of STScI wishes to announce also the availability of version 2.0 of STSCI_PYTHON. The primary change in this version is the release of redesigned versions of PyDrizzle and MultiDrizzle. This is the version of Multidrizzle used by the HST ACS pipeline. This release does not include a new version of PyRAF. Use of the Python tasks requires upgrading to this version of STSCI_PYTHON. WHERE TO OBTAIN THIS SOFTWARE STSDAS/TABLES v3.3 can be downloaded from the STSDAS web site http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/stsdas/download Installation instructions are available on the web site. Precompiled binaries also exist for some of the ports supported by NOAO, including Sun Solaris, RedHat Linux and Mac OS X. STSCI_PYTHON v 2.0 be downloaded from the PyRAF web site http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/pyraf/stsci_python/ current/download Installation instructions are available from the PyRAF web site. Please contact us through e-mail (help at stsci.edu), by telephone at (410) 338-1082.

Message-ID: I have a cross-platform Python/Tkinter application (unix, MacOS X and Windows) that needs to display grayscale images and detect some user feedback (e.g. control-click). I need to offer the user enough control that they can see what they need to see (e.g. some options for adjusting brightness and contrast, possibly limited zoom control). I've been working with ds9. This is a nice image viewer that offers all the control users might want (though it's a bit heavyweight for this job). Unfortunately, it's an uphill struggle to tightly integrate it: - ds9 has limited ability to transmit data. As far as I can tell, one can pipe data to a newly launched app (slow and clumsy and may not work on Windows) or send a URL with form data (meaning my app has to run a web server, or we can run a central web server but then authentication is challenging) - there are other, less important issues involving getting data into it I've considered using saoTk, ds9's underlying image viewer, so the image windows can be fully integated into my application. Unfortunately, installation is really messy. For example saoTk uses its own customized version of Tk! So...before I get too deeply into this quagmire, I was wondering if folks had any suggestions? Something fairly sane to install and preferably that doesn't require writing an image viewer from scratch.
