FV

NAME

fv — a tool for viewing and editing FITS format files

SYNOPSIS

fv

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the fv commands.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

fv provides a graphical user interface to data stored in FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) files. Local files can be created, viewed and edited, files on the internet can be opened read-only through the http and ftp protocols. Through the POWplot program, FITS data can be visualized in a large variety of styles. An interface to the SkyView online database allows for searching, downloading, and plotting of images and object lists for a region of the sky.

OPTIONS

This program does not take any command line arguments.

SEE ALSO

The program is documented fully by the online help that can be accessed from the built-in help viewer. The documentation can also be found under /usr/share/doc/fv on Debian GNU/Linux.
