Sorry I didn't get to this earlier, one of those days.... Mostly OK but:
1. There's a slight problem with ivo://votech.org/sky/pointAtCoords.
If it receives a pointAtCoords message to point at somewhere
far away from the current image, it sometimes (not always)
appears to pan the image off the main viewer. Try
% gaia $KAPPA_DIR/m57.sdf &
% java -classpath /mbt/starjava/java/lib/plastic/plastic.jar \
uk.ac.starlink.plastic.PlasticRequest \
-targetName gaia ivo://votech.org/sky/pointAtCoords 10 -41
Wiggling the scrollbar brings it back. Presumably a sanity check
on the coordinates near line 112 of GaiaPlastic.tcl would sort
this out. I'm happy to investigate and hopefully fix this,
but since it's probably a one-liner you might want to have a go.
2. Help|Help topics index... gives me a mostly empty window with the
message:
couldn't open "/mbt/starauto/bin/gaia/../../help/gaia/index.html
the help/gaia and help/gaia.htx directories are present but empty.
This is almost certainly not a bug it's just because I haven't
done the build/install properly, but I just mention it so you
can check it works for you.
Have a good holiday!
Mark
