GDL library from D. Fannings IDL courses

The Coyote Library evolved from work David Fanning was doing teaching IDL courses and answering IDL questions on the IDL newsgroup. It is meant to be a well-documented library that demonstrates how to write solid IDL/GDL programs that are easy to maintain and extend.

The main content of the library is the Coyote Graphics System (CGS), a collection of Coyote Library programs that turn the traditional GDL/IDL graphics commands (e.g., Plot, Contour, Surface, TV, etc.) into modern programs.

The most important features of Coyote Graphics System are:

The commands work identically on the display, in PostScript, and in the Z-graphics buffer.
The commands can be displayed automatically in resizable graphics windows.
The commands automatically create high quality PostScript, PDF, and raster file output.
CGS graphics visualizations can be saved and restore later, or e-mailed to colleagues.
The commands work identically in an indexed or decomposed color environment.
The commands can use colors by name (e.g., "red", "dodger blue").
CGS commands are faster (often much faster) than the equivalent IDL function graphics commands.
Greek letters and other symbols can be directly embedded in Coyote Graphics text.
The commands fix the most annoying quirks (e.g., contour holes and levels) in traditional IDL commands.

Version URL

4.2.4-1 https://screenshots.debian.net/files/screenshot/1227/simage/large-b186e4c6bc9e3e3e87d6adf475ede20c.png

Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven interactive data and function plotting utility that supports lots of output formats, including drivers for many printers, (La)TeX, (x)fig, Postscript, and so on. The X11-output is packaged in gnuplot-x11.

Data files and self-defined functions can be manipulated by the internal C-like language. Can perform smoothing, spline-fitting, or nonlinear fits, and can work with complex numbers.

This metapackage is to install a full-featured gnuplot (-qt, -x11 or -nox).

graphviz

2.38.0-7 ↺ New upstream version 13.1.0 available

rich set of graph drawing tools

graphviz: rich set of graph drawing tools

Graph drawing addresses the problem of visualizing structural information by constructing geometric representations of abstract graphs and networks. Automatic generation of graph drawings has important applications in key technologies such as database design, software engineering, VLSI and network design and visual interfaces in other domains. Situations where these tools might be particularly useful include:

you would like to restructure a program and first need to understand the relationships between its types, procedures, and source files
you need to find the bottlenecks in an Internet backbone - not only individual links, but their relationships
you're debugging a protocol or microarchitecture represented as a finite state machine and need to figure out how a certain error state arises
you would like to browse a database schema, knowledge base, or distributed program represented graphically
you would like to see an overview of a collection of linked documents
you would like to discover patterns and communities of interest in a database of telephone calls or e-mail messages

This package contains the command-line tools.

montage

6.0+dfsg-7

Toolkit for assembling FITS images into mosaics

montage: Toolkit for assembling FITS images into mosaics

Description

Montage is a toolkit for assembling astronomical images into custom mosaics.

It uses algorithms that preserve the calibration and positional (astrometric) fidelity of the input images to deliver mosaics that meet user-specified parameters of projection, coordinates, and spatial scale. It supports all projections and coordinate systems in use in astronomy.

It contains independent modules for analyzing the geometry of images on the sky, and for creating and managing mosaics; these modules are powerful tools in their own right and have applicability outside mosaic production, in areas such as data validation.
