Using GAIA from the C-shell

To display an image in GAIA use the following command (assuming that you are already initialized to use Starlink software):

% gaia image_name

Alternatively you can use the File menu to load an image.

If you want to display an image in an existing GAIA then use the invocation:

% gaiadisp image_name

You can also write to a specific window using the clone number:

% gaiadisp image_name 2

This displays into the window with title GAIA::SkyCat (2). If this window doesn't exist it will be created.

A list of images can be displayed in GAIA using the command:

% gaiadisp image_name1 image_name2 image_name3 ...

These will be displayed in separate clones. Finally a percentile cut can be applied using the -p option:

% gaiadisp -p 98 image_name1 image_name2 image_name3 ...

(works for the single image case too).
