azeqview

This IDL facility provides a means to visualise an azimuthal equidistant projection of HEALPix and COBE Quad-Cube maps in an IDL environment. It also offers the possibility to generate GIF, JPEG, PDF, PNG and Postscript color-coded images of the projected map. The projected (but not color-coded) data can also be output in FITS files and IDL arrays.

DESCRIPTION

azeqview reads in a HEALPix sky map in FITS format and generates an azimuthal equidistant projection of it, that can be visualized on the screen or exported in a GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF or Postscript file. azeqview allows the selection of the coordinate system, map size, color table, color bar inclusion, linear, log, hybrid or histogram equalised color scaling, maximum and minimum range for the plot, plot-title etc. It also allows the representation of the polarization field.
