NAME
SkyView - Image generation from a range of remote databases
SYNOPSIS
skyview Survey=arg [key=arg ...]
DESCRIPTION
SkyView provides users with a local SkyView system on their own machines. Users can generate FITS, GIF, JPEG, ... images from major surveys in any requested geometry, resample and mosaic their own data, overlay grids and catalog positions, and create their own surveys.
OPTIONS
Keys are not case sensitive but values may be. Values specifying more than one value use a comma as a separator. Valid keys include: Survey A survey for which an image is requested (e.g, WENSS, DSS) (Required, with no default.) To request multiple surveys, separate them by commas. Survey names are not case sensitive. The 'user' survey references data given in the UserFile argument Settings A list of one or more files from which settings are read. File settings are processed after argument settings. Keys that define the geometry of the output image. Position The longitude and latitude of the center of the image. This may be given as coordinates or as a target name [No default] Lon The decimal longitude of the center of the image [No default] Lat The decimal latitude of the center of the image [No default] Either Position or Lon and Lat must be specified. Coordinates A string giving the coordinate system and epoch (if required) used, e.g., J, J2000, B1950, ICRS, Gal, H2010.438 [J] Equinox Epoch of equinox of coordinates [2000] Projection The three letter FITS WCS specification of the projection. [Tan] Scale: The pixels scale in degrees (may be one or two values) [survey dependent] Size The size of the entire image in degrees [scale*pixels] Generally you specify either scale or size but not both. Pixels The number of pixels in the image (may be one or two values) [300] Rotation A rotation angle in the projection plane [0] Keys that control optional graphical outputs Quicklook The format desired for quicklook output. JPEG, GIF, BMP and TIFF are supported. If another graphic keyword is used without specifying the format it defaults to JPEG. Scaling How the output pixel intensities are to be scaled. Linear, Log, Sqrt, HistEq are supported [Linear] Min Set all smaller pixel values to this value before scaling. Max Set all larger pixel values to this value before scaling. RGB Create a three color overlay RGBSmooth Box smoothing for planes of RGBImages Invert Invert the color table response (or gray scale if no color lookup table is defined). LUT Load a color lookup table. See the users guide for lists of internal color tables and files supplied in the JAR. User generated color tables may also be used. Grid Plot a grid of the image or specified coordinate system as an image overlay. GridLabels Label the grid lines with the coordinate entries PlotScale Scaling for plot symbols PlotFontSize Size of plot text in points. PlotColor Color of plot graphics Catalog query keys Catalog The names of the catalogs to be queried, or URLs that specify VOTable outputs. CatalogFile The name of a file in which to print the IDs, positions, and pixel locations of the catalog entries found. CatalogRadius A maximum radius from the center of the image for which catalog entries are desired. CatalogQualifier A qualification on a column of the returned table (e.g. vmag<10) CatalogIDs When plotting catalog positions print the numeric ID of the catalog entry Keys that define the sampling used Sampler The sampling algorithm to be used. NN, LI, Lanczos[n], Spline[n], Clip [NN] Ebins Specification of sampling in energy dimension: e0,de,ne [survey dependent for 3-d surveys] e0 is the starting offset of the first output bin. de is the width of the output bins (relative to the input). n is th number of output bins. Keys that set characteristics of the output FITS file Output The output file stem [output] Compress If specified the output is gzip compressed Float If specified the output is 4 byte rather than 8 byte real NoFITS A FITS file should not be produced. Smoothing Smooth A box size (or sizes for non-square box) for a box car smoothing. Contours Contour Create a contour map overlay ContourSmooth Smoothing to be applied to survey before contouring Keys that set where to look for survey and store survey data. XMLRoot A directory of XML files that contain survey descriptions SurveyManifest Overrides the name of the resource used to look for the survey manifest (normally included in JAR). SurveyXML A file or files giving XML descriptions of surveys UserFile A file (or list of files) that defines the 'User' survey. These are the actual survey images not survey metadata. Cache A directory (or comma delimited set of directories) where cached files are to be found. The first cache directory is where survey files used in this request will be saved. PurgeCache Delete any survey files downloaded in this request. Keys that define the classes used for processing the request. Deedger Class that eliminates transitions at input image boundaries. SurveyFinder Class that loads and finds surveys given survey names/IDs ImageFinder Class that finds images in a survey to use in a mosaic. PreProcessor Class[es] to process input images before resampling. Mosaicker Class that actually mosaics survey data to create output image. PostProcessor Class[es] that process the output image after mosaicking. Keys that change the behavior of the process. ImageJ Leave an ImageJ session running with the generated images when finished.
