Questions on AIJ v5

[wqso]

Hi,

I have three questions on AIJ v5,

1. Can I use a combination of Auto radius and variable aperture?

2. After clicking the SIMBAD and SkyMap in the coordinate converter tool, the relevant websites pop up only when AIJ is closed.

3. The problems remains as reported in http://astroimagej.170.s1.nabble.com/Image-Display-Interface-td30.html#a34, as shown attached.

I'm using Fedora 35 linux.

Some quick responses to get started:

1) They should work together, but it might be best to manually choose a larger initial aperture size than the auto-radius would select for photometry. That's because the PSF needs to be fully sampled to get a good estimate. Other than that, are you seeing any specific problems?

2) More on this later, but what is the default browser you are using, or does it happen with multiple browsers?

3)What is screen pixel (or effective pixel) resolution of your screen? Is the image size limited by the vertical the vertical dimension? If you grab the lower-left corner and change the size of the image display, does the problem resolve?

Hi Karen,

I have the same problem with the second information bar (AIJ 5.0.2.01).

My OS is Linux Ubuntu 20.04.04 LTS, screen resolution 1920x1080. The image is not vertically limited and grabbing or maximizing does not change the situation.

Hi Karen,

1) I'm not seeing any specific question. I just want to make a confirmation.

2) The default browser is firefox. After I change the default browser into microsoft edge, the problem remains.

3) The resolution of my screen is 3000x2000, the scale is set to be 200%. Changing the display size does not solve the problem. On an external monitor with 3840x2160 and scale of 175%, the problem remains.

Thank you!

Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the confirmation. Do you see the problems in #2 also?

Karen

[Riccardo Papini]

No, Karen. Both pop up properly bringing the windows to the top of the display. AIJ remains open.

Hi,

it looks like Fedora doesn't include the xdg-utils package (more specifically xdg-open), which AIJ is using to open the default browser.

I'll for an alternative that can be implemented by AIJ.

The display of Multi-Aperture Measurements is also incomplete, as shown attached.

I think maybe you have only 1 image open, so I think the display may be complete, although it does appear to have a duplicate shifted version behind it. We'll look into this along with the other display problems.

After unchecking 'Use astro-window when images are opened' in the 'preferences' of the display window, the next time an image is opened, a 'naked' image window is opened, as shown in the first picture. After a click on it, it is closed and the display window is opened. The information is displayed correctly, as shown in the second picture.



However, this mode cannot be used in DP when doing data reduction in batch mode. There seem to be only one image in the display window and there is no prompt for placing apertures.

We have another Fedora 35 user that reports they can not reproduce this problem. Do you still see the display issues if your scaling is set to 100%. I know this might not be useable for you, but as a test it might be helpful for our debugging.

When you say there is no prompt to place apertures, do you have the M-Ap option enabled in the DP panel? If so, then what you mean is that the Multi-Aperture panel set-up panel never displays after your first image is calibrated?

I checked as you said. After setting the scaling as 100%, I deleted the directory of .astroimagej in the home directory, and opened an image in AIJ, the display was correct. Then I closed the display window, opened the image another time, the display problem showed up again. I set the scaling back as 200%, deleted the directory of .astroimagej, the display was correct the first time an image was opened but was wrong for the next times. It seems the scaling has nothing to do with the display problem.

[wqso]

Yes, I have this option enabled. I mean there is no window popped up to prompt me to place apertures in the display window.

[karenacollins]

Could you experiment to see if any of these options in Image_Display > Preferences cause the problem to appear or go away?

Karen

[wqso]

The problem remains after I uncheck any one, two or all of the three options.
