A small GUI program for converting space images.
Current status: not supported. For better samples of my code I recommend to look at the pinned repositories.
Python version 3.9 or higher is required. On Linux, you may need to replace the python
command with python3
.
Step Zero: Clone the repository or download the archive using the GitHub web interface. In the console, go to the project root folder.
- Install the dependencies with
pip install -r requirements.txt
; - Execute
python -u fits2png.py
.
- Create a virtual environment with
python -m venv .venv
; - Install the dependencies with
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
; - Execute
.venv/bin/python -u fits2png.py
.
- To save the output without compression (in TIFF format), release the button
compress to PNG
; - To recognize New Horizon's MVIC image and apply the conversion factor, the appropriate button must be pressed and the file name must begin with
mc0
,mc1
,mc2
ormc3
. This is the default behavior for files from OPUS.
