Workshop aips++ Project

You will use the aips++ toolkit to construct a simple tool of your own using elements from Glish, Graphical User Interfaces, the image tool, image display with the viewer tool, and plotting with the pgplotter tool. Some familiarity with Glish/aips++ would be useful ahead of time. The aips++ documentation is extensive and your institute should have the CDROM holding the latest aips++ release.

Glish Tutorial

Here is a basic Glish tutorial we presented at the aips++ workshop a while back. It consists of a series of simple instructions that you can cut and paste. It covers arrays, records and events. If you have no familiarity with Glish, a quick scan of this would be valuable.

The User Reference Manual is the fundamental description of what each tool does. For example, select the 'Image' tool of the Images' module of the 'General' package to see all the capabilities of the Image tool.
People already familiar with aips++ could look there.
