We are using the DS9 in Linux Red Hat 7.3 and 8.0. We need to convert some of the images and/or portions of them, into JPEG format for inclusion in HTML documents. Thus far I have had no success with the Save Regions selection. Any suggestions how this might be accomplished? -Rik

One option is to use GIMP to read in the FITS files, but I find the colours tricky to match up after getting used to the colour/brightness mouse action of DS9. Doing a conversion to a sensible log colour scaling is not intuitive in GIMP. An alternative I use is to do a screen grab using 'xv', and then save that as a jpeg and trim it with other software. If you haven't heard of it, it's an old but useful image capture and manipulation program: http://www.trilon.com/xv/ This method is very kludgy, but it means you can capture *exactly* the FITS image with the colour palette you want.

Sometimes just using a screen grab program will get the job done. I run IRAF on Mac OS X, which has a great screen grab program called Grab.

The option you are looking for is the File->save img menu item. It allows to save whatever appears in the DS9 display as a jpg/tiff/png/ppm with quite superior resolution compared to what can be achieved with xv or any other screen capture program. For a few samples of what I have achieved with this option in ds9 you can look up http://www.prl.ernet.in/~shashi/tmw/ and other links there. I use ds9 on linux with redhat 7.3 HTH, shashi -- 2003-04-04 at 9:01am IST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shashikiran Ganesh | shashi@prl.res.in Physical Research Laboratory | Astronomy and Astrophysics Division | http://www.prl.res.in/~shashi Ahmedabad 380 009, India | http://www.iap.fr/users/shashi -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
