We are pleased to announce the release of APLpy 0.9.4, which includes
bug fixes, improvements, and new features.
The main change with this release is that APLpy now requires
matplotlib 0.99. More information on the changes in this version is
available in the release notes available at
http://aplpy.sourceforge.net/
Cheers,
Eli Bressert and Thomas Robitaille

We are pleased to announce the first public beta release of ATpy,
a high-level python module providing a way to manipulate tables of
astronomical data in a uniform way. More details are available at
http://atpy.sourceforge.net/
>From the front page you can sign up to the mailing list and/or the
Twitter feed to be kept up-to-date on future releases.
About ATpy
===========
ATpy is a high-level package providing a way to manipulate tables of
astronomical data in a uniform way. A table is defined by any number
of columns of data, each characterized by a column name, unit, null
value, and description (the last three being optional), and can be
supplemented with metadata in the form of keywords or comments. ATpy
can be used to manipulate single tables as well as sets of tables.
ATpy can be used to:
* Seamlessly read and write table data to a number of table
formats (FITS, VO, and IPAC tables, and
SQLite/MySQL/PostgreSQL databases), building on existing
python modules. More formats will be supported in future.
* Remove, add, or rename columns.
* Access and modify individual table cells.
* Create an empty table and populate it.
* Create a new table from a selection of rows.
* Add keywords and comments.
* Read and write sets of tables.
Noting that ATpy is still in beta development, you may encounter
bugs and/or missing features. If this is the case, please let us
know either by emailing us at astropython at gmail.com, or by
leaving a bug report or feature request in the forums at:
http://apps.sourceforge.net/phpbb/atpy
Cheers,
Eli Bressert and Thomas Robitaille

We are pleased to announce the release of APLpy 0.9.3, which includes bug fixes, improvements, and new features. APLpy is a python module that makes it easy to interactively produce publication-quality plots of astronomical images in FITS format. More details are available at http://aplpy.sourceforge.net/ One of the main additions in this release is the ability to produce RGB images starting from FITS files with different projections. More information on the changes in this release is available in the release notes available from the APLpy homepage. Cheers, Eli Bressert and Thomas Robitaille |

We are pleased to announce the release of APLpy 0.9.2.
http://aplpy.sourceforge.net/
This release contains a significant improvement to the initial loading
time of the FITSFigure instances, fixes compatibility issues with the
latest version of matplotlib, and fixes an issue that occured with images
projected in Plate Carrée (-CAR).
Cheers,
Eli Bressert and Thomas Robitaille

========================= APLpy 0.9.1 Release Notes ========================= This update includes new capabilities, minor bug fixes, and removes the SciPy dependency. Highlights ================= SciPy Dependency Dropped ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While SciPy is a great python package, it can be troublesome to build and install from scratch. Thanks to Tom Aldcroft's suggestion and highlighting some of his own code we were able to easily drop the SciPy dependency. New Features ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Users can now pass a pyfits HDU instance instead of filenames for both FITSFigure() and show_contour() if desired. - Users can now specify an existing figure with the figure= argument. - Users with a recent enough version of matplotlib (0.98.6svn) can now use the subplot= argument to place multiple plots in a single figure. - New hide/show_tick_labels() and hide/show_axis_labels() methods. - Show_grayscale and show_colorscale() now accept percentile_lower= and percentile_higher= as arguments. - Show_grayscale and show_colorscale() now print out vmin and vmax if chosen automatically. - New recenter() method to pan and zoom non-interactively. General Fixes and Optimization ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Added HDU keyword for the show_contour() method. - More robust reading in FITS file for the show_contour() method. - Warning if FITS files do not exist for FITSFigure() or show_contour(). News & Discussion ================= The reception and interest in APLpy has been very positive. We have received enthusiastic comments on features to add to APLpy as well as some difficulties in installing APLpy's dependencies. The primary installation issues are when users try to install the NumPy and SciPy packages manually (vs. the Enthought Python Distribution). The features that we'll be adding soon are given below. If you have something in mind, please let us know through the APLpy forums or email ast...@gm.... 1) Return coordinates of mouse pointer in WCS and x,y coordinates. 2) Ability to plot a scale bar to show angular or physical sizes. 3) Ability to plot an elliptical beam, for example for interferometric observations. 4) Ability to plot a compass to show the North and East directions. 5) Ability to plot a gray/colorscale wedge. Cheers, The APLpy team |

About APLpy
===========
APLpy (pronounced 'apple pie') can be used to:
* Interactively or non-interactively produce publication-quality plots;
* Show grayscale, colorscale, and 3-color RGB images;
* Overlay any number of contour and marker sets;
* Dynamically hide, show, and remove contour and marker layers;
* Overlay coordinate grids;
* Customize the appearance of labels and ticks;
* Use LaTeX to typeset labels;
* Pan, zoom, and save any view as a full publication-quality plot;
* Save plots as EPS, PS, PDF, SVG, or PNG files;
