CIAO 4.0 Release Notes

• ObsVis

ObsVis

Changes to ObsVis

• Highlights include:

  • Implementation of new grouping, "grid", which allows the user to create and manipulate rectangular regular grids of fields-of-view (FOVs). Users can resize, move and rotate the grid as well as add, remove, and modify single grid members.

  • Group members can have attributes synchronized so that the changes of one FOV in group are mirrored by other members.

  • Improved checking to prevent members of a synchronized group from occupying the same ds9 frame and members of a compound group from occupying different frames.

  There are also a number of user interface upgrades, including:

  • capability chip labels on and off
  • a new preference setting for node boundaries colors
  • the target point marker size reflects dither pattern size for selected instrument
  • name resolution from target name input

Standalone ObsVis

• There is a standalone version of ObsVis that does not require CIAO be available on the user's system. This version of the application is designed for non-CIAO users who are writing a Chandra proposal. The standalone ObsVis is available for download from the ObsVis website.
