It contains KarmaLib (the structured library and API) +and a large number of modules and applications to perform many standard +tasks on astronomical data in common formats like FITS. It is a toolkit +for manipulating the Karma network data structure. + +Another major component of KarmaLib is the display support. The display +system both provides an abstract interface to the underlying graphics +system (ie. the X window system), and also provides much higher level +functionality than many graphics libraries. As well as supporting simple +geometric primitives and text display, a powerful and flexible image +display system is included. This allows the direct mapping of +application data structures (ie. 2-D and 3-D arrays) to display +windows (canvases). + +This SlackBuild script builds a Slackware package from the official +binary distributed by CSIRO. |
