Depends: R (>= 2.0.0)
Description: Utilities to read and write files in the FITS (Flexible
Image Transport System) format, a standard format in astronomy.
Present low-level routines allow: * Reading and parsing FITS
headers * Reading FITS images (multi-dimensional arrays) *
Reading FITS binary tables * 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 bintable * Reading
bintables into data frames * Generating vectors for image array
axes * Scaling and writing images as 16-bit integers Known
incompletenesses are reading FITS ASCII table and random group
extensions, as well as bit, complex, and array descriptor data
types in binary tables.

Description: Utilities to read and write files in the FITS (Flexible
Image Transport System) format, a standard format in astronomy.
Present low-level routines allow: reading, parsing, and modifying
FITS headers; reading FITS images (multi-dimensional arrays);
reading FITS binary 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 bintable; reading bintables into
data frames; generating vectors for image array axes; scaling and
