FITSio: FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) Utilities
Utilities to read and write files in the FITS (Flexible
Image Transport System) format, a standard format in astronomy (see
e.g. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FITS> for more information).
Present low-level routines allow: reading, parsing, and modifying
FITS headers; reading FITS images (multi-dimensional arrays);
reading FITS binary and ASCII tables; and writing FITS images
(multi-dimensional arrays). Higher-level functions allow: reading
files composed of one or more headers and a single (perhaps
multidimensional) image or single table; reading tables into
data frames; generating vectors for image array axes; scaling and
writing images as 16-bit integers. Known incompletenesses are
reading random group extensions, as well as
complex and array descriptor data types in binary tables.
