display_multiple_ds9_regions
Updated: Jul03,2020

Display a set of images in ds9 along with their associacted ds9 region files. Here we read a list of FITS images and their ds9 region files. Hence, the name combo does not have to be the usual [A.fits,A.reg] format. We may want to display any different region files on top of the same image. This routine enables this.

 

% display_multiple_ds9_regions --help  

% display_multiple_ds9_regions list.1 -v

The various ds9 region files collected by a run of the imgcat0_apmags routine. Here is the input file (list.1):

 
 
%  cat list.1

To run the display code: 
% display_multiple_ds9_regions list.1 -c green -f 14

You can see that in list.1 I have specified that the same image is viewed in every frame. I use a different regions file and comment string for each frame. If we were to attempt to view all of this in a single frame we would create a real mess.
