... Meta Index / Home Page / Description / Input Spatial regions may be entered in detector, sky (X/Y) or celestial (RA, DEC, FK4 2000) coordinates. If the coordinates of the region are not the same as those of the image, e.g. a sky pixel region on a detector coordinate image, then the task will still function but will run more slowly. ... In celestial coordinates a circular or annular region is actually elliptical due to the sperical geometry. ...

. This diagram illustrates how a background image may be repeated within the content and padding areas of a box. In this example, a background image is first centered within a box (established by the BODY element of the example). The box contains paragraphs of text, shown in gray to make them discrete. The image, a blue wavy line on a pale yellow background, is then repeated vertically, to the top and bottom of the BODY box. The effect is to create a wavy band down the center of the page. Return to image.

... The initial descriptions of the FITS format provided a simplified method for describing the physical coordinate values of the image pixels, but deliberately did not specify any of the detailed conventions required to convey the complexities of actual image projections. ... They were CRPIX n for the reference pixel location on pixel axis n , CRVAL n for the coordinate value at that pixel, CDELT n for the increment at that pixel in the coordinate value, and CTYPE n for the type of coordinate. ...

... The Boolean object is an object wrapper for a boolean value. ... JavaScript 1.3: added toSource method . ... If value is omitted or is 0, -0, null, false, NaN , undefined, or the empty string ( "" ), the object has an initial value of false. All other values, including any object or the string "false" , create an object with an initial value of true. ... For Boolean objects and values, the built-in toString method returns the string "true" or "false" depending on the value of the boolean object. ...
