A small GUI program for converting space images

fits2png

A small GUI program for converting space images.

Current status: not supported. For better samples of my code I recommend to look at the pinned repositories.

Installation

Python version 3.9 or higher is required. On Linux, you may need to replace the python command with python3.

Step Zero: Clone the repository or download the archive using the GitHub web interface. In the console, go to the project root folder.

Simple installation

1. Install the dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt;
2. Execute python -u fits2png.py.

In virtual environment

1. Create a virtual environment with python -m venv .venv;
2. Install the dependencies with .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt;
3. Execute .venv/bin/python -u fits2png.py.

Notes

• To save the output without compression (in TIFF format), release the button compress to PNG;
• To recognize New Horizon's MVIC image and apply the conversion factor, the appropriate button must be pressed and the file name must begin with mc0, mc1, mc2 or mc3. This is the default behavior for files from OPUS.

fits2png's Issues

OOoooooo! So much to like!

that I stopped by your project this morning!

Can you please post a screenshot in your readme? I'm sure visitors would love to see your GUI!

Copy the image from this issue if you want... this code, added to a readme, will embed the image:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/46163555/179396702-5d857a2d-9e59-4017-bf86-d0527c2b9e7a.png)

It's great to see a custom theme!

I would change this line:

fits2png/fits2png.py

Line 19 in 7db284a

sg.ChangeLookAndFeel("MaterialDark")

into the newer theme() function. This will do it:

sg.theme("MaterialDark")

(downloaded your code and changed it to be sure)

I'm not sure what happens next (I can run the program but don't know much more than that - how to use it), but am really pleased at seeing your work. Thanks for the fun!
