List of available survey names and thumbnails #156

Closed astrofrog closed 7 years ago

I'm using the WWT web client via the JS API, and am setting the background/foreground with setBackgroundImageByName and setForegroundImageByName. Is there a way to find out (programmatically or just on a webpage) which surveys are currently available in the web client?

In addition, is there a way to find out the names of the thumbnails accessible by http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/wwtweb/thumbnail.aspx?name=??

Ah I found the following XML: http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/wwtweb/catalog.aspx?W=surveys, so I'll go ahead and close this.
