Folks:
Is there a Mathcad dll for reading .fits files? If you know of such a capability please let me know.
Gene
Hi,
With what program associated this format of files (".fits")?
Its an image format (FITS = Flexible Image Transport System). Quite common at but not restricted to Astronomy.
Can be open by programs like Gimp, Irfanview, Photoshop, but also Mathematica. I'm not sure about Matlab.
Thanks, Werner. This file format also supports by MATLAB, LabView, Mathematica, a complete list of programs that open FITS file format can be found here: http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_libraries.html
FITS image viewers and format converters: http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_viewer.html
Bad luck for the original poster, Eugene, as Mathcad can't read FITS out of the box and it doesn't seem that somebody had already written a DLL for doing so (if thats possible at all):
