... user-defined data file formats . ... better integration with a user's analysis routines To add such functionality to SAOimage, we developed the XPA Messaging System that allows X programs to define points of public access through which data and commands can be exchanged with external programs. ... We have utilized XPA to develop "SAOimage: The Next Generation" (SAOtng), an extensible image display service that can cooperate with other processes and programs. ... SAOtng help pages . ...

... Plot vectors may be generated in several ways: . a. You may read the vectors from a file using the read command The file is expected to be an ASCII file of columns of numbers (separated by spaces or commas). You define the file to SM using the data command, and associate a column or row of numbers with a SM vector using the read command. ... I can also read a row from the file, instead of a column, by saying read row x 1 Note that the vector is defined by the read command. ...

... This paper describes our application of the X Public Access ( XPA ) interface to the new version of SAOimage . XPA allows an Xt program to define named public access points through which data and commands can be exchanged with external programs. ... It provides a high-level image display programming interface as well as low-level access to gterm-image widget functions. ... When a new file name is sent to SAOtng , the appropriate header access program is run to gather the overall image dimensions. ...

... This thread contains a step-by-step recipe to extract MOS spectra of a point-like source observed in Imaging mode and to create associated response matrices, starting from a calibrated, concatenated event list (either produced with emproc or available as PPS product; here it has the assumed file name MOS.fits ). ... The users should note that the SAS metatask xmmselect allows them to interactively define source and background regions (via ds9) and to run backscale on the fly. ...

... autoconf processes configure.in to produce a configure script. configure is a portable shell script which examines the build environment to determine which libraries are available, which features the platform has, where libraries and headers are located, and so on. Based on this information, it modifies compiler flags, generates makefiles, and/or outputs the file config.h with appropriate preprocessor symbols defined. ... Here is a sample configure.in , from a Gnome version of "Hello, World": . ...
