Repository containing a few regularly-used tools.

Free to use but not guaranteed.

Fairly easy...

### Clone the repo

As usual, clone the repo somewhere.

git clone https://github.com/GregS1t/astrotools.git 

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

• 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!
