ATV viewer interface.
ATV is a frontend for the IDL tv procedure. Like the Slicer3 GUI discussed previously, ATV is entirely implemented as an IDL procedure so it is simple to add new routines, buttons or menus if additional functionality is needed. The interface, deliberately, resembles SAOimage so that users can quickly start using it. Detailed usage instructions are available online. However, to display an a plane in a data cube you can pass an array directly to atv as follows.
