Figaro applications can inter-operate with applications in various other packages. Running Figaro from the IRAF CL (see the previous section) allows Figaro to inter-operate with IRAF applications.
Figaro applications can also inter-operate with the applications in most other Starlink packages. The most widely useful are probably those in the general purpose image processing package KAPPA (see SUN/95). To start both Figaro and KAPPA from the Unix shell simply type:
% figaro % kappa
In both cases the start-up messages have been omitted for brevity. The order of the two commands is not important. The applications in both Figaro and KAPPA are now available and to a large extent they inter-operate.
The procedures to run the packages from ICL or to inter-operate with other Starlink packages are similar.
