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 both the reference manuals of the package tasks and the official download section are accessible from the main http://fitsh.net/ webpage.

The current stable version of FITSH is 0.9.2.

Installation gudelines

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, ...).

Getting started

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!

Examples

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.

Documentation

Currently, documentation about FITSH is available in the following forms:

  • All of the FITSH programs/tasks are capable to provide a shorter and a longer list of command line help options and description that are available via the --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).
  • You can find a more detailed summary about the specific programs/tasks here.
  • See also the ``Examples section of this wiki page.

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!
