Coordinate Grids
DS9 can create and display coordinate grids as an overlay
on an
image. The Dispaly
Coordinate Grid Menu is used to display grids. A coordinate grid
is composed of Grid Lines, Axes, Border, and Title. Axes include
tickmarks, title, and
numbers. The appearance of the coordinate grid is specified by
parameters. These parameters may be configured via the Coordinate Grid
Parameters dialog box. In addition to the axes titles and the grid
title, the following menus are available.
