5 The graphical interface in details

Aladin offers a rich graphical interface for achieving in a few clicks most basic functions.

The two main windows are:

 The “main window” for displaying and manipulating the data;

 The “server selector” for locating and accessing the astronomical data, locally or via

Internet.

Several other windows allow various controls, including:

 The pixel range control (contrast);

 The contour generator;

 The catalogue filter editor;

 The catalogue cross matching;

 The catalogue column computing;

 The astrometrical calibration controller;

 The image resampling controller;

 The arithmetic operations on image pixel values;

 The saving controller;

 The user preferences (configuration);

 The console for using the script mode.

Note: It is possible to start Aladin in “students” mode (“undergraduate”) or in simple

display mode (“preview”) in order to adapt the Aladin interface to the user profile. These

two modes will be studied later.

5.1 The main window

Aladin combines in a single window most of the components required for displaying and

manipulating data: a menu bar, a location box, the view panel, the zoom panel, the

stack, and a panel for the measurements.
