Welcome to the FITSH Wiki pages. Here you can find a detailed description and a series of examples related to the various tasks of the FITSH package. Please note that the official download section is still accessible from the main http://fitsh.net/ webpage.
The current stable version of FITSH is 0.9.2.
By installing from source, FITSH follows the standard ./configure && make && make install
procedure. See this page for further details. FITSH can also be compiled as a Debian package and can be installed system-wide using a Debian-based package manager (dpkg
, apt-get
, ...).
This page describes you how can one begin to have experiences with FITSH. Basically, first install FITSH itself (and some additional packages which might also be useful in the future) then the tasks are readily be availble for image processing!
Here you can find many fully elaborated examples demonstrating the most important features of the FITSH package. Most of these examples are related to published scientific articles.
Currently, documentation about FITSH is available in the following forms:
--help
and --long-help (or --help-long
) options, respectively. The --help
option simply lists the available options and switches with a minimalistic references of the actual syntax while --long-help
gives a more detailed description (that is also adequate to be converted into a nice UNIX manual page using the help2man utility).
We try to keep this FITSH/wiki page to be as comprehensive as possible. However, there might be features that are mentioned somewhere and does not have a related listed command line option or vice versa. Please provide any information about these issues, such reports are highly welcomed!
Although FITSH is a relatively new public package, it is not without a history. As of now, there are more than 100 papers (from the last 10+ years) in which one or more of the FITSH tasks have successfully been employed at some level.
