Ximview has been significantly influenced by
Google Maps,
SAO Image DS9,
Aaron Barth's ATV
(especially the Asinh scaling), and
NRAO's AIPS (for Imstats and Peakfit).
It makes essential use of the HEALPix IDL library, and
NASA's IDL Astrolib,
especially
the World Coordinates System library and several FITS I/O packages.
I would like to thank Tess Jaffe, Sam Leitch, Tony Banday, Stuart Lowe and
Eric Hivon for testing, bug reports, and suggestions.
Thanks also to David Fanning for his
invaluable website on IDL.
