fv — a tool for viewing and editing FITS format files
fv
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.
This program does not take any command line arguments.
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.
