Description : Starlink Tables Infrastructure Library Tool Set
The STIL Tool Set is a set of command-line tools based on STIL, the
Starlink Tables Infrastructure Library. It deals with the processing
of tabular data; the package has been designed for, but is not
restricted to, astronomical tables such as object catalogues. Some of
the tools are generic and can work with multiple formats (including
FITS, VOTable, CDF, GBIN, CSV, SQL and ASCII), and others are
specific to the VOTable format. In some ways, STILTS forms the
command-line counterpart of the GUI table analysis tool TOPCAT. The
package is robust, fully documented, and designed for efficiency,
especially with very large datasets.
.
This package containes the executable.
The package will be maintained by the Debian Astro team. It is part of
the effort to package the Virtual Observatory Java tools from Starlink.
A git repository will be created at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-astro/packages/starjava-ttools.git
The package depends on the creation of adql, jel, starjava-fits,
starjava-pal, starjava-registry, starjava-table, starjava-task,
starjava-util, starjava-vo, and starjava-votable.
Best regards
Ole
