zoom window
on the left,
info panel
in the center and
pan window
right. If the layout is specified as
saoimage
, a layout similar to saoimage is used (
info panel
,
pan window
,
zoom window
). If

-remote
|
boolean
|
If
-remote 1
is specified and a skycat process is already running, the existing skycat process is sent a message and asked to open a new window and the new skycat process exits immediately. This has the advantage of sharing the image colormap and using fewer system resources, however it depends on being able to use the Tcl send mechanism. For security reasons, Tcl send will not work if you are using
xhost
based X security. You need to use
Xauth
security. See the
Tcl/Tk Tools
book from O'Reilly for more on this topic.
