Feature request: Zoom and pan by coordinates #115

Open acsch opened 2 years ago

acsch commented 2 years ago

I want to systematically search Laduma cubes. Since the FOV is too large to search in one go, I need to zoom in and pan. For that I need to keep control on which portion I see in the windows and where to pan to next. The coordinate info and axis labels are, of course, a help, but it is much less controllable to get them right.

So it would be nice to have the possibilities to submit coordinates and zoom scale through a separate window so that the (centre) of the viewable image jumps to that position. Since we work 3D here, a z-component for the pan might be useful, too (to look at a specific source). For example, ds9 has such a feature.

In addition, I prefer to search slices that include the frequency axis (XZ or ZY). I see there are already requests for that (#36 and, in an extended way, #72)

Thanks @kswang1029. @veggiesaurus, you mentioned someone could include a tutorial for you showing @acsch how to do this with the current version with front-end scripting. Is that still an option?

It depends on when the next Laduma cube will be ready (DR1.1) and when such a feature would get implemented. Any idea on the time scale of the latter?
