It does not directly support FITS. One simple technique is to use pyfits to read in the data, then display it using PIL. At least it's simple in regards parsing the FITS data; if you a have high dynamic range image, as is typical for FITS data, then scaling the data to display anything meaningful to the user is another story. Some resources: - Astronomical Python (link to pyfits and other utilties): http://www.astro.washington.edu/rowen/AstroPy.html> - Sample grayscale image viewer (still being worked on but quite functional) RO.Wdg.GrayImageDispWdg in RO package: <http://www.astro.washington.edu/rowen/ROPython.html> - matplotlib includes an image viewer. It is rather slow but might prove useful. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
