Abstract:

The architecture of the SAOtng image display program is centered on supporting communication with external programs and processes. Easy to use C, Fortran, and command-based interfaces provide direct access to SAOtng information, data, and control functions. Through these interfaces, developers also can utilize more advanced SAOtng features, such as direct FITS transfer, shared memory FITS, WCS-enabled positioning, and region of interest demarcation. In this paper, we will describe the SAOtng programming interface and will show by example how easy it is to integrate SAOtng into astronomical analysis systems.
