Hello, pywcsgrid2 is my personal project to display astronomical fits images using matplotlib. While there are other tools, my approach is to extend the capability of the matplolib, rather than building something new on top of the matplotlib. It provides a custom Axes class (derived from the matplotlib's original Axes) whose main functionality improvement is to draw ticks, ticklabels, and grids in an appropriate sky coordinate.
**NOTE** This is a more like a development release. It currently requires the "svn" version of the matplotlib as it is heavily based on the axes_grid toolkit. It also requires the kapteyn package (http://www.astro.rug.nl/software/kapteyn/). And it is only supported in linux and mac os X. Home page : http://leejjoon.github.com/pywcsgrid2/ Overview doc. : http://leejjoon.github.com/pywcsgrid2/users/overview.html Unfortunately, the code is documented rather sparsely (with poor english), but I hope the above overview gives enough idea on how to start. pywcsgrid2 is still in development, and there will be bug fixes and improvements. While a downloadable tar file is available, it is recommended to use the git repository. For questions, bug reports or feature suggestions, please email me or use the issue tracker in the github.
