toasty 0.14.0 (2021-12-13)
- Expand the all-in-one FITS API,
toasty.tile_fits
, to invoke the
hipsgen
program when given an image that is larger than about 20° on the
sky (#69, @imbasimba, @pkgw). This is the breakpoint at which WWT's tangential
projection starts yielding visually poor results. - Add the
toasty view
CLI tool the builds on the above, and the new
scripting support in the resarch app, to act as a command-line FITS viewer
(#69, @pkgw)! Just runtoasty view myfile.fits
to view interactively in your
browser, with sky context and all of the features provided by the research
app. - When loading FITS collections, the
hdu_index
can now be a list of integers,
instead of just one integer (#69, @imbasimba). This lets you specify different
image HDUs to use for different input files. - Various new APIs and internal improvements to enable the above; there's a new
toasty.fits_tiler
module and new interfaces intoasty.collection
. - Add a hack to strongarm AstroPy into being willing to load WCS from improper
files that include TPV distortions without using the-TPV
projection type
(#69, @pkgw). This allows us to view some of the DASCH FITS files.
