... This paper describes our application of the X Public Access ( XPA ) interface to the new version of SAOimage . XPA allows an Xt program to define named public access points through which data and commands can be exchanged with external programs. ... It provides a high-level image display programming interface as well as low-level access to gterm-image widget functions. ... When a new file name is sent to SAOtng , the appropriate header access program is run to gather the overall image dimensions. ...

The attached figures compare the rms fluctuations of the sky background measured in blank regions of the final drizzled images from version 1 and version 2 of the HDF data reduction. ... This is because the image combination process produces correlations between neighboring pixels. The figures show the rms fluctuations divided by sqrt(N) where N is 2 for 2x2 binning, 3 for 3x3 binning, etc. If the noise were uncorrelated there would be no change in the rms with N. 6. ...
