projection of the enclosed catalogue planes should be “local” (restricted to images in
that folder), or “global” (to project on all images beneath it in the stack).
5.1.2 The view
The viewing panel is the main component of the Aladin interface. The view shows a
display of the data activated in the stack. Most of the time, it is an image onto which
graphical symbols are overdrawn to represent the sources from catalogues. Additional
information is displayed at the borders: scale, size of the field of view on the sky as well
as its angle with respect to the north.
