The VOLumes package is a possibly temporary collection of tasks related
to
manipulating and viewing 3d or in some cases 4d "volume" images, and
a few
other things.
IMJOIN joins sets of N-dimensional images together along a specified
axis.
IM3DTRAN performs 3d image transposes; if appropriate [*,-*,*] type
image
sections are given as input, it also accomplishes rotates. Tasks
such as
these may later be integrated into a standard IRAF package.
PVOL projects through volume images, casting rays onto a set of output
2d images distributed along a great circle around the volume image.
When
the output images are displayed or recorded onto video and played back,
the volume image appears to rotate. Various translucency and
opacity
algorithms are employed.
I2SUN is a temporary task for converting IRAF images into Sun rasterfiles,
primarily to take advantage of a Sun-specific MOVIE utility for viewing
digital movies on a workstation screen; it will no longer be necessary
when
the IRAF image display servers can display movies.
