ATV.PRO
An interactive display tool for
astronomical images written in IDL.
|
|
ATV is a program
for display and analysis of
astronomical images using the IDL image-processing language. It
allows interactive control of the image scaling, color table, color
stretch, and zoom, with support for world coordinate
systems. It also does point-and-click aperture
photometry, simple spectral extractions, and can produce
publication-quality postscript output images.

To run ATV, you will need:
ATV can also be used
without an IDL license, using the IDL
Virtual Machine.
Here's what you need:
- The atv.sav file containing the compiled
version of ATV plus all supporting routines
- The IDL package. Instructions for running the IDL Virtual
Machine are in the Installation and Licensing guide which can be found
on the IDL
documentation page.
Note about
other versions of ATV:
There are a few alternate versions of ATV that can be found on
other sites, some of them modified to add features specific to certain
telescopes or instruments. These include a version designed for
reduction of Spitzer IRS data (as part of the SMART
package), and a very old version of ATV
with added HEALPIX support that's distributed as part of the "idlutils"
package. However: I take no
responsibility for any "forked" versions of ATV, and the instructions
and information on this site may not apply to any modified ATV versions
that you find elsewhere. If you're using the idlutils
distribution but don't need to use the HEALPIX support, then I
recommend that you delete the ATV version that came with idlutils, and
install the current version of ATV instead.
If you're looking for the other
kind of ATV, try this instead.
