Coordinate Grids
DS9 can create and display coordinate grids as an overlay on an
image. The Dispaly Coordinate
Grid Menu is used to display grids. A coordinate grid is composed of Grid
Lines, Axes, Border, and Title. Axes include tickmarks, title, and numbers.
The appearance of the coordinate grid is specified by parameters. These parameters
may be configured via the Coordinate Grid Parameters
dialog box. In addition to the axes titles and the grid title, the following
