68<H3>This IDL facility provides a means to visualise a full sky or half sky orthographic projection
69(projection onto a tangent plane from a point located at infinity) of
70<b>HEALPix</b> and COBE Quad-Cube maps in an IDL environment.
71It also offers the possibility to
72generate GIF, JPEG, PDF, PNG and Postscript color-coded images of the projected map.
73The projected (but not color-coded) data can also be output in FITS files and
74IDL arrays.</H3>

169<blockquote>
170<br><br><FONT COLOR="#CC0000">orthview</FONT> reads in a <b>HEALPix</b> sky map in FITS format and generates
171an orthographic projection of it, that can be visualized on the screen or
172exported in a GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF or Postscript file. <FONT COLOR="#CC0000">orthview</FONT>  allows the selection of
173the coordinate system, map size, color table, color bar inclusion,
174linear, log, hybrid or histogram equalised color scaling,
175maximum and
176minimum range for the plot, plot-title <I>etc</I>. It also allows the representation of the
177polarization field.
