It can view astronomical data such as contained in files based on the FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file format. It is written and is maintained by software engineers at the National Astronomical Observatory ofJapan, the Space Telescope Science Institute, and other contributing entities. The Ginga toolkit centers around an image display class which supports zooming and panning, color and intensity mapping, a choice of several automatic cut levels algorithms and canvases for plotting scalable geometric forms. In addition to this widget, a general purpose “reference” FITS viewer is provided, based on a plugin framework. A fairly complete set of “standard” plugins are provided for features that we expect from a modern FITS viewer: panning and zooming windows, star catalog access, cuts, star pick/FWHM, thumbnails, etc. 3 ginga Documentation, Release 3.2.1.dev14+g754e5b1 4 Part II Copyright and License 5 ginga Documentation, Release 3.2.1.dev14+g754e5b1 Copyright (c) 2011-2021 Ginga Maintainers.

The basic Ginga display class supports the Qt (4 and 5), PySide, Gtk (3), Tk widget sets natively as well as any Matplotlib Figure, and HTML5 canvases in a web browser. The full reference viewer supports Qt and Gtk variants. Ginga can also be used in Jupyter notebooks. 11 ginga Documentation, Release 3.2.1.dev14+g754e5b1 12 Part IV Getting the Source 13 ginga Documentation, Release 3.2.1.dev14+g754e5b1 Clone from Github: git clone https://github.com/ejeschke/ginga.git To get a ZIP file or tarball instead, see the links on About Ginga. 15 ginga Documentation, Release 3.2.1.dev14+g754e5b1 16 Part V Building and Installation 17 ginga Documentation, Release 3.2.1.dev14+g754e5b1 Download and install from pip: pip install ginga Or conda: conda install ginga-c conda-forge The reference viewer can then be run using the command ginga. For detailed instructions, see: 19 ginga Documentation, Release 3.2.1.dev14+g754e5b1 20 CHAPTER ONE INSTALLATION 1.1 Dependencies Ginga is written entirely in Python, and only uses supporting Python packages. There is nothing to compile (unless you need to compile one of the supporting packages). In recent Linux, Mac, and Windows versions, all of the packages are available in binary (installable) form. It should not be necessary to compile anything, but as always, your mileage may vary. 1.1.1 REQUIRED • python (v. 3.7 or higher) • setuptools-scm • numpy (v. 1.14 or higher) • astropy Strongly recommended, because some features will not be available without it: • scipy • pillow • opencv-python (also distributed as opencv or python-opencv, depending on where you get it from) • piexif • beautifulsoup4 • docutils (to display help for plugins) For opening FITS files you will need one of the following packages: • astropy • fitsio For WCS resolution you will need one of the following packages: • astropy • kapteyn • astLib • starlink 21 ginga Documentation, Release 3.2.1.dev14+g754e5b1 1.1.2 BACKENDS (one or more) Ginga can draw its output to a number of different back ends. Depending on which GUI toolkit you prefer (andwhat you want to do), you will need at least one of the following: • QtPy (PyQt4 or PyQt5) • PySide (Qt4/Qt5 alternative) • pygobject (gi) AND pycairo (GTK 3) • tkinter • matplotlib • tornado • aggdraw • Pillow (PIL fork) 1.1.3 RECOMMENDED Certain plugins in the reference viewer (or features of those plugins) will not work without the following packages: • matplotlib (required by: Pick, Cuts, Histogram, LineProfile) • scipy (required by: Pick, some built-in auto cuts algorithms used when you load an image) • astroquery (required by Catalogs) To save a movie: • mencoder (command line tool required by: Cuts) Helpful, but not necessary (may optimize or speed up certain operations): • opencv-python (speeds up rotation, mosaicing and some transformations) • pyopengl + pycairo (for using OpenGL features; very useful for 4K or larger monitors) • filemagic (aids in identifying files when opening them) • Pillow (useful for various RGB file manipulations) 1.2 Notes on Supported Widget Sets In the discussion below, we differentiate between the Ginga viewing widget, such as used inthe examples/\*/ example\*.py programs and the full reference viewer, which includes many plugins (ginga). Note: For the full reference viewer, Mac and Windows users should probably install the Qt version, unless you are the tinkering sort. Linux can use either Qt or GTK fine. 22 Chapter 1. Installation ginga Documentation, Release 3.2.1.dev14+g754e5b1 1.2.1 Qt/PySide Ginga can use either PyQt or PySide, version 4 or 5. It will auto-detect which one is installed, using the qtpy compat- ibility package. There is support for both the basic widget and the full reference viewer. Note: If you have both installed and you want to use a specific one then set the environment variable QT_API to either “pyqt” or “pyside”. This is the same procedure as for Matplotlib. 1.2.2 GTK Ginga can use GTK 3 (with gi). (If you have an older version of pycairo package, you may need to install a newer version from pycairo). 1.2.3 Tk Ginga’s Tk support is limited to the viewing widget itself. For overplotting (graphics) support, you will also need one of: • Pillow • opencv-python • aggdraw 1.2.4 Matplotlib Ginga can render directly into a Matplotlib figure. Support is limited to the viewing widget itself. Any of the backends that Matplotlib supports is usable. Performance is not as good as to one of the “native” backends listed above, but oh, the overplot options! 1.2.5 HTML5 web browser Ginga can render into an HTML5 canvas via a web server. Support is limited to the viewing widget itself. See the notes in examples/pg/example2_pg.py. Tested browsers include Chromium (Chrome), Firefox, and Safari. 1.3 Basic Installation You can download and install via pip by choosing the command that best suits your needs (full selection is defined in setup configuration file): pip install ginga # The most basic installation pip install ginga[recommended,qt5] # Qt5 pip install ginga[recommended,gtk3] # GTK 3 Or via conda: 1.3. Basic Installation 23 ginga Documentation, Release 3.2.1.dev14+g754e5b1 conda install ginga-c conda-forge The reference viewer can then be run using the command ginga. 1.4 Installation from Source 1. Clone from Github: git clone https://github.com/ejeschke/ginga.git Or see links on this page to get a ZIP file or tarball. 2. Unpack, go into the top level directory, and run: pip install-e. 1.5 Platform Specific Instructions 1.5.1 Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) If you are on a relatively recent version of Debian or Ubuntu, something like the following will work: apt install python3-ginga If you are using another distribution of Linux, we recommend to install via Anaconda or Miniconda as described below. 1.5.2 Mac/Windows/Linux (others) Anaconda For Mac/Windows or other Linux users, we recommend installing the Anaconda distribution (or Miniconda). This distribution already includes all of the necessary packages to run Ginga. After installing Anaconda, open the Anaconda Prompt and follow instructions under Basic Installation via conda. 1.6 Running tests 1. Install the following packages: $ pip install -e .[test] 2. Run the tests using pytest: $ pytest 24 Chapter 1. Installation ginga Documentation, Release 3.2.1.dev14+g754e5b1 1.7 Building documentation 1.

    Python Qt tutorial Documentation Release 0.0 Thomas P. Robitaille Jun 11, 2018 Contents 1 Installing 3 2 Part 1 - Hello, World! 5 3 Part 2 - Buttons and events 7 4 Part 3 - Laying out widgets 9 5 Part 4 - Dynamically updating widgets 13 i ii Python Qt tutorial Documentation, Release 0.0 This is a short tutorial on using Qt from Python. There are two main versions of Qt in use (Qt4 and Qt5) and several Python libraries to use Qt from Python (PyQt and PySide), but rather than picking one of these, this tutorial makes use of the QtPy package which provides a way to use whatever Python Qt package is available. This is not meant to be a completely exhaustive tutorial but just a place to start if you’ve never done Qt development before, and it will be expanded over time. Contents 1 Python Qt tutorial Documentation, Release 0.0 2 Contents CHAPTER 1 Installing 1.1 conda If you use conda to manage your Python environment (for example as part of Anaconda or Miniconda), you can easily install Qt, PyQt5, and QtPy (a common interface to all Python Qt bindings) using: conda install pyqt qtpy 1.2 pip If you don’t make use of conda, an easy way to install Qt, PyQt5, and QtPy is to do: pip install pyqt5 qtpy 3 Python Qt tutorial Documentation, Release 0.0 4 Chapter 1. Installing CHAPTER 2 Part 1 - Hello, World! To start off, we need to create a QApplication object, which represents the overall application: from qtpy.QtWidgets import QApplication app= QApplication([]) You will always need to ensure that a QApplication object exists, otherwise your Python script will terminate with an error if you try and use any other Qt objects.

In order to avoid privative software like: Matlab, Visual Basic, Labview. In this laboratory, we are going to use Python and different libraries which are completely free and open source. The advantages of using these kind of technologies are the following ones: you have control over all parts of your system and you don't need to trust in external companies and private design cycles. In this project, you will learn how to integrate a fully functional project from a reconfigurable part to high level programming in Python. The main objective of the project is that the student, at the end, understands how to integrate all the parts to create a final product. Objectives • To design a fully functional GUI (Graphical User Interface) • To create a controller of the GUI • To connect a Zedboard to the GUI • To control a Zedboard from the GUI • To get data and plot from Zedboard Procedure This project has different parts.

Sinkarenko, S. Zanzottera, V. Baggiolini, BE-CO-APS, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Abstract technology choices for GUI, even at the cost of not using Java – our core technology – for GUIs anymore. For more than 15 years, operational GUIs for accelerator controls and some lab applications for equipment experts have been developed in Java, first with Swing and more CRITERIA FOR SELECTING A NEW GUI recently with JavaFX. In March 2018, Oracle announced that Java GUIs were not part of their strategy anymore [1]. TECHNOLOGY They will not ship JavaFX after Java 8 and there are hints In our evaluation of GUI technologies, we considered that they would like to get rid of Swing as well. the following criteria: This was a wakeup call for us. We took the opportunity • Technical match: suitability for Desktop GUI to reconsider all technical options for developing development and good integration with the existing operational GUIs. Our options ranged from sticking with controls environment (Linux, Java, C/C++) and the JavaFX, over using the Qt framework (either using PyQt APIs to the control system; or developing our own Java Bindings to Qt), to using Web • Popularity among our current and future developers: technology both in a browser and in native desktop little (additional) learning effort, attractiveness for new applications.
