where is mJPEG? #66

Closed kevinmcmanus closed 1 year ago

kevinmcmanus commented 1 year ago

I downloaded and built Montage successfully. Now attemtpting to follow [Pleiades Example] (https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/howto/DSS_pleiades_mosaic.html). Script run successfully but at the very end, it can't find mJPEG and indeed the executable is not in the Montage/bin directory. How do I get this program?

Thanks.

At the end of 2010 we added a bunch of functionality to the viewer, including support for PNG output in addition to JPEG (even at its best, JPEG has trouble properly reproducing sharp transitions, like graphics overlays). Since the name mJPEG was misleading, we started a new tool (mViewer) which has since been greatly extended.

There is a great deal of documentation on mViewer (see: http://montage.ipac.caltech.edu/mViewer/). In the context of the Pleiades example, the syntax is exactly the same and what is shown with mJPEG. We should have updated that page ages ago and will do so immediately.

The URL given for the Pleiades example is a copy of the document at IRSA. In general, the original documentation is at the Montage site, in this case: http://montage.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/pleiades_tutorial.html
