Add support for 3D-data. #42

Third dimension could be interpreted either as time and then demonstrated as movie, or as spectral coordinate and then demonstrated with alternative colormap.

For hyperspectral datasets (integral field spectroscopic - IFS -data), I would recommend to have a look at qFitsview. I use this tool daily when exploring IFS data from the MUSE instrument at ESOs VLT.

Hi @Knusper

Could you please advise where we can get IFS files for testing?

Knusper commented 5 years ago

For ESOs VLT MUSE instrument I recommend the datasets here: http://muse-vlt.eu/science/data-releases/ - for smaller cubes (e.g. the 16x16 cubes produced by the PMAS IFU at Calar Alto) you can look at my dataset here: http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/587/A78

The recent SDSS extension project MANGA also released lots of datacubes: https://www.sdss.org/dr15/manga/

Also there is the CALIFA survey (again, PMAS, but different setup): http://califa.caha.es/

Thank you @Knusper. I think we should steal great features from qFitsview: average and mean images, spectrum view widget, etc.
