rtd - real-time image display application

rtd options filename

The rtd application is used to display FITS images in real-time. The application is based on "rtdimage", a Tk image extension for displaying FITS images.

"name" specifies a FITS format file to load and display.
If bool is true, subsampling is used when shrinking the image, i.e.: if the image is shrunk by 1/3, only every third pixel is displayed. Otherwise, the maximum value is taken from the group of pixels.
If option 'subsample' is false, the following methods can be used for displaying a shrunk image (i.e. an image with a scale factor < 1):
0
max value of all pixels in a NxN box (default)
1
min value of all pixels in a NxN box
2
mean value of all pixels in a NxN box
3
median value of all pixels in a NxN box
4
max value of pixels on a diagonal cross in a NxN box
5
min value of pixels on a diagonal cross in a NxN box
6
mean value of pixels on a diagonal cross in a NxN box
7
median value of pixels on a diagonal cross in a NxN box
8
median value of pixels in a chess-board like box
9
median value of a 3x3 box
If bool is true (default), attempt to use X shared memory for the image display, if available. This improves performance considerably, but is only available when working on the system console.

If true, try to use X synchronisation.

If bool is true, diagnostic messages are printed out to show what is going on internally (for debugging use).

This option sets the default colormap file to use when starting up. Only the root of the filename should be specified for this option, for example: "ramp" for a grey level colormap. For a list of available colormap files, see the colormaps directory in the rtd release.

Specify the min and max number of colors to allocate before using a private colormap.

This option is similar to -default_cmap, except it sets the default ITT (intensity transfer table) file to use at startup. ITT files are also stored in the colormaps directory.

Set the default scaling factors (default: 1).

Set the camera name for real-time image events: default: taken from the RTD_CAMERA environment variable, if set, otherwise set to RTDSIMULATOR, for simulation test mode.

Set the scale factor for the zoom window (default 5 x the original image).

Set the height of the colorramp subwindow (default: 20).

If bool is true (default), add a zoom window.

If bool is true (default), add a panning window.

If true, turn on zoom window.

If true, display a copy (view) of the image as an icon.

If true, set bindings to scroll with the middle mouse button.

If true, display scrollbars to scroll the image.


Default port for remote connections (0 means system chooses a
port).


Debugging flag: enables real-time simulation with testProg
(below).

For testing: name of test program used to generate real-time updates (tRtd).

For testing: interval between updates in ms.

If true, display performance tester utility in menu bar.

Option to warp the mouse pointer.
