UNIX/IRAF Site Manager's Guide
UNIX/IRAF Site Manager's Guide
IRAF itself is device and window system independent, hence it can be used
with any windowing system such as X11 or SunView, or with hardware graphics
and display devices. Nowadays most people will be running IRAF on a UNIX
workstation under X11. At the time that this is being written, IRAF is most
commonly run under X11 using xterm for graphics and saoimage for
image display. Binaries for these applications are included in the IRAF
distribution if not already provided with the window system software on the
host system. New graphics and image display clients are being developed for
use with IRAF running under X11; contact the IRAF group for further
information on the availability of these products.
