@KathleenLabrie thank you - I desperately would like to find some time to update this package, It's been languishing too long as I was made the sole developer, and only in my free time. Is there anyone at gemini that can help with bringing this up to speed? Are you all actively using this package?

Sorry, I was in the middle of two big package releases and then forgot about this.

No, we absolutely do not have resources available. We're even losing people and barely able to keep our head above water.

We are using imexam for some Ops tools.

What does STScI use to display images in something like ds9 or ginga? If it needs that functionality, I guess.

I completely understand!

Right now they are only supporting JdaViz, which is its own viewer. You might see if that fits your needs?

In my personal time I'll see if I can fix the major issues here in imexam so that your ops aren't affected - apologies I cant respond too fast these days!
