The main new features in these releases are: CFITSIO (v1.21): Provides a more transparent interface for reading and writing unsigned integers in FITS images and binary tables. The CFITSIO interface now effectively supports unsigned 16-bit and 32-bit integers as basic FITS data types, although in fact the unsigned integers are stored in FITS files as signed integers with an appropriate offset as specified by the BZERO or TZEROn keyword (which completely conforms to the current FITS Standard). There is a new section in the CFITSIO User's Guide that describes how to use these new features to read or write unsigned integers. FITSIO (v5.00) The data I/O throughput of FITSIO is now about twice as fast as in previous releases making it similar in performance to that of CFITSIO. FITSIO and CFITSIO now have nearly identical throughput when reading or writing FITS images, and rates of 2 - 6 MB/s are typical on current workstations. Read rates greater than 50 MB/s have been recorded when the FITS image is cached in RAM memory. FITSIO remains a little slower than CFITSIO (by up to a factor of 2) when reading or writing FITS binary tables due in part to the efficient use of C pointers and structures in CFITSIO which is difficult to reproduce in FITSIO when using Fortran-77. FITSIO has also been modified to be Fortran-90 compatible. A new version of the machine-specific set of subroutines written using Fortran-90 is provided which should work with most F90 compilers. FITSIO and the CFITSIO may both be obtained on the WWW from: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio or by anonymous ftp from: legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov in the software/fitsio directory. _________________________________________________________________________ William Pence HEASARC - High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center NASA/GSFC e-mail: pence at tetra.gsfc.nasa.gov phone: (301)286-4599 From owner-fitsbits at marmoset.cv.nrao.edu Mon Apr 7 09:30:45 1997 Received: (from majdom at localhost) by marmoset.cv.nrao.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5: $Revision: 2.2 $) id JAA21626; œMon, 7 Apr 1997 09:30:45 -0400 Received: from fits.cv.nrao.edu (root at fits.cv.nrao.edu [192.33.115.8]) by marmoset.cv.nrao.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5: $Revision: 2.2 $) with ESMTP id MAA18157; Sat, 5 Apr 1997 12:20:55 -0500 Received: from solitaire.cv.nrao.edu (news at solitaire.cv.nrao.edu [192.33.115.79]) by fits.cv.nrao.edu (8.8.5/8.8.0/CV-2.2) with SMTP id MAA22080 for ; Sat, 5 Apr 1997 12:20:52 -0500 (EST) Received: by solitaire.cv.nrao.edu (4.1/DDN-CV/1.10) id AA06828; Sat, 5 Apr 97 12:20:47 EST To: fitsbits at fits.cv.nrao.edu Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 10:45:05 +0200 From: Nicolas Devillard Message-Id: Organization: ESO - European Southern Observatory, Garching by Munich Path: solitaire.cv.nrao.edu!newsgate.duke.edu!news.mathworks.com!howland.erols.net!Frankfurt.Germany.EU.net!Munich.Germany.EU.net!eso.org!mc14!ndevilla Reply-To: Nicolas Devillard Subject: eclipse version 1.3 released Newsgroups: sci.astro.fits Sender: owner-fitsbits at marmoset.cv.nrao.edu Precedence: bulk eclipse version 1.3 released ---------------------------- eclipse (ESO C Library for an Image Processing Software Environment) version 1.3 has just been released.

A draft of this proposal is now available on the World Wide Web at: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/ofwg/indexing.html This proposal is intended to be very general, and it may well be useful to other groups that are interested in using indices to speed up access to FITS tables. Under this proposal, the index can be 1-dimensional or 2-dimensional (or higher) and is stored in a FITS binary table using a small set of newly defined keywords and column names. Any comments or suggestions regarding this proposal are welcome. ------ William Pence (on behalf of the working group) From owner-fitsbits at marmoset.cv.nrao.edu Wed Apr 23 11:35:13 1997 Received: (from majdom at localhost) by marmoset.cv.nrao.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5: $Revision: 2.2 $) id LAA08304; œWed, 23 Apr 1997 11:35:13 -0400 Received: from fits.cv.nrao.edu (root at fits.cv.nrao.edu [192.33.115.8]) by marmoset.cv.nrao.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5: $Revision: 2.2 $) with ESMTP id TAA05546; Tue, 22 Apr 1997 19:56:02 -0400 Received: from solitaire.cv.nrao.edu (news at solitaire.cv.nrao.edu [192.33.115.79]) by fits.cv.nrao.edu (8.8.5/8.8.0/CV-2.2) with SMTP id TAA03431 for ; Tue, 22 Apr 1997 19:56:00 -0400 (EDT) Received: by solitaire.cv.nrao.edu (4.1/DDN-CV/1.10) id AA07329; Tue, 22 Apr 97 19:55:57 EDT To: fitsbits at fits.cv.nrao.edu Date: Tue, 22 Apr 1997 12:29:31 -1000 From: Elaine Kiernan Olson Message-Id: <335D3BCB.41C67EA6 at koa.ifa.hawaii.NOSPAM.edu> Organization: University of Hawaii Path: solitaire.cv.nrao.edu!out2.nntp.cais.net!news2.cais.com!in1.nntp.cais.net!tezcat!cam-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!cpk-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!news.bbnplanet.com!feed1.news.erols.com!news.ecn.uoknor.edu!munnari.OZ.AU!news.Hawaii.Edu!news References: <5jj42d$n9k$1 at news.ccit.arizona.edu> Subject: Re: Fits to JPEG or GIF Newsgroups: sci.astro.fits Sender: owner-fitsbits at marmoset.cv.nrao.edu Precedence: bulk Dana Irvin wrote: > > Does anyone have or know of any apps that convert FITS images to JPEG or > GIF images?

I need to to make an online image archive. xv can do it as can imagemagick as someone else pointed out. there is an imcnv package for IRAF that'll do conversions of IRAF images to GIF or a few other formats (not JPG, though, i think). xv is probably the best bet. tim -- Time is like fingers Gesturing for me to stop --- A Quake Haiku Why is the sun up?
