General

New Applications

Changes to Applications

ATOOLS

* Added task ASTSPHMAP to create a SphMap. for transforming from three-dimensional Cartesian co-ordinates into a two-dimensional spherical co-ordinate system.

CONVERT

* Can process 64-bit integer data in ASCII2NDF, DA2NDF, FITS2NDF, NDF2ASCII, NDF2DA, NDF2FITS, NDF2UNF, and UNF2NDF.

GAIA

* A new toolbox for drawing STC-S regions has been added.

* It is now possible to add local colour and intensity maps to GAIA by adding files to the ~/.skycat/colormaps directory. These files need to be in the correct format, that is simple text files with either three columns (RGB for colour maps) or one column (intensity) whose values are in the range 0 to 1. Colour maps should use the file type ".lasc" and intensity maps ".iasc".

* A bug in the handling of the WCS from FITS files with size greater than 2Gb has been fixed. Previously GAIA could fail to show the world coordinates for such images.

* The UCAC4 catalogue has been added to the standard Skycat catalogues.
