The Karma Home Page

Please note Karma is maintained now only for portability fixes.
The documents here are for the last ever version of Karma, 1.7.25, and may contain some inaccuracies or anacronisms.

Karma is a toolkit for interprocess communications, authentication, encryption, graphics display, user interface and manipulating the Karma network data structure. It contains KarmaLib (the structured libraries and API) and a large number of modules (applications) to perform many standard tasks.

A suite of visualisation tools is also distributed with the library.

If you have the Karma HTML documentation files installed under /usr/local/karma/www then use that copy, it will be much faster.

For a more detailed description of the Karma Library, read the Karma Library README file.

Karma is freely available and is distributed under the GNU LGPL (libraries) and GPL (applications).

Screen shots

kvis, a general-purpose image/movie viewer that can load multiple datasets, display multiple windows, overlay contours, annotations, show multiple overlaid profiles, and much more.
koords, for applying a coordinate system header to an image.
kpvslice, interactively displays position-velocity slices.
krenzo, displays contours of channel maps.
kshell, for finding and analysing expanding shells.
khuei, displays complex or amplitude/phase data using hue and intensity.
kslice_3d, used to display three orthogonal slices through a volume.

Documentation for these tools is available in the User Manual.
