starting fitsblink from python passing the arguments
Available functions x load image x erase image x set frame x,y,w,h x maximum window x colormap (0|1) x markers (0|1) x (blink) window width| height (resize) x blink (0|1) x delay t (set delay)
Returns the value of pixel with coordinates x, y from the image i. If image with index i does not exist, the function throws IndexError.
Sets the value of pixel with coordinates x, y from the image i to value v. If image with index i does not exist, the function throws IndexError.
Performes a bitwise exclusive-OR between value of pixel with coordinates x, y from the image i and the argument v. The result is stored back to the image. If image with index i does not exist, the function throws IndexError.
Sets x and y offsets of the image i to values of dx and dy. New internal image ready for display is generated. If image i is currently displayed, it is redisplayed with the new offset. If image with index i does not exist, the function throws IndexError.
Detect stars on image i using currently set parameters for this image. If image with indexi i does not exist, the function throws IndexError.
Output s star list to a file. If image with index i does not exist, the function throws IndexError.
Reads a star list from a given file. If image with index i does not exist, the function throws IndexError.
Filter the image by a 33 kernel and redisplay it. If image
with index i does not exist, the function throws
IndexError.
