A library of ANSI C routines for reading and writing FITS format data files. #Fits library #Write fits data #Read fits data #Fits #Write #Read
CFITSIO is a free and open source library of C and Fortran subroutines for reading and writing data files in FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) data format.
CFITSIO provides simple high-level routines for reading and writing FITS files that insulate the programmer from the internal complexities of the FITS format.
CFITSIO also provides many advanced features for manipulating and filtering the information in FITS files.
A set of Fortran-callable wrapper routines are also included for the convenience of Fortran programmers.
CFITSIO will probably run on most other Unix platforms without modification. Cray supercomputers and IBM mainframe computers are currently not supported.
What's new in CFITSIO 3.370:
- added configure options to support reading bzip2 compressed FITS files.This depends on having the bzlib library installed on the local machine.Patch submitted by Dustin Lang.
- replaced the random Gaussian and Poissonian distribution functions withnew code written by Craig Markwardt derived from public domain C++ functions written by John D Cook.
- patched fitsio2.h to support CFITSIO on AArch64 (64-bit ARM)architecture (both big and little endian). Supplied byMarcin Juszkiewicz and Sergio Pascual Ramirez, with further updateby Michel Normand.
- fixed bug in fpackutil.c that caused fpack to exit prematurely ifthe FZALGOR directive keyword was present in the HDU header.
