By Laurent Domisse:
this tool queries the source catalog database and produces 2D plots. An example
with 66000 sources can be found at
http://gtix.iap.fr:8080/visu/
Note: this is a monoprocessor machine used for development, and it is not as
fast as our production machines. We currently have a problem with the new
version of the graphics library, which is why clicking on the image does not
generate a Postscript file.
Comments welcome.
Cheers,
Emmanuel.
