FITS file, visualize an IMAGE_HDU

We are going to play with the x0bq0102t_d0h.fits file coming with a release under the resource directory.

Then start ioda and select the file with :

     Files -> <resource> -> .fits -> x0bq0102t_d0h.fits

Whence selected you should see the list of HDUs, here two :

     1 IMAGE_HDU
     2 ASCII_TBL

Choose the IMAGE_HDU. Then ioda proposes to see the keys or to visualize the image. Choose "keys". You should see :

When doing "back" and choosing "vis", ioda proposes you to choose the "slice". Here there is only one, active Ok. You should have:

which is not so great. You can change the "lut" (look up table) with:

   pick image > popup > edit field > down right arrow > auto_lut -> mean_rms

With the popup menu, you can change also the colormap with

   pick image > popup > edit field > down > colors > <choose a color map>
