Imviz

Imviz is a tool for visualization and quick-look analysis for 2D astronomical images. Like the rest of Jdaviz, it is written in the Python programming language, and therefore can be run anywhere Python is supported (see Installation). Imviz is built on top of the Glupyter backend, providing a visual, interactive interface to the analysis capabilities in that library.

Quickstart

To load a sample HST/ACS Image into Imviz in the standalone app, run:

jdaviz imviz /path/to/jbqf03gjq_flc.fits

Or to load in a Jupyter notebook, see the ImvizExample notebook.
