SkyViewer is an OpenGL-based program written by Nicholas Phillips to display HEALPix-based sky maps from FITS format files.The program will display sky maps on a 3D sphere or a 2D Mollweide projection. Real time panning and zooming are supported, as are rotations of the 3D sphere (if you have a fast graphics card).The program was developed and tested in a Red Hat Linux environment, but it should also build under Windows and Max OSX.Here are some key features of "SkyViewer":· 3D sphere or 2D Mollweide display· View Temperature, Polarization or Nobs fields· Real time rotation, zooming, and panning· Retrieve pixel information from the display· Adjustable mapping from pixel value to color· Save screen shots to image file· Pixel texture aligns with HEALPix pixel boundaries· Contextual help· OS agnosticRequirements:· Qt, >= v3.1.2· CFITSIO, A FITS File Subroutine Library, >= v2.440· HEALPix, >= v1.20· libQGLViewer, >= v1.3.8
