Paths

Don't forget to add $ASTROCODE to your $PATH so you can use it to call python codes from scripts.

Next, you can add another path to the scripts so you can run them from anywhere. It's up to you.

Example :

# Path to ASTROTOOLS
export ASTROCODE=[PATH/TO]/astrotools/src
export ASTROSCRIPTS=[PATH/TO]/scripts

# Add path to python scripts
export PATH=$PATH:$ASTROSCRIPTS

Obviously, you change [PATH/TO] to the correct path for you.

pfits GUI

pfits is the simplest GUI for plotting a FITS file with very basic options for zooming anywhere in the main image.

How to use is

Play with sliders vmin and vmax to adjust contrast. The contrast is updated on both main and zoomed image
On the main image
- Click anywhere to get a zoom in the zoom windows
On the zoom image
- Left-click to get the intensity profiles on both axes at the clicked point
- Right-click to center clicked point in the zoom window
- Mouse wheel to zoom in/out.

That's all there is to it!
