- SkyView
- =======
-
- SkyView performs many of the functions of a planetarium.
- It allows you to see the appearance of the sky from any
- specified location on the earth. You can change the date
- and time for which the sky is displayed to see the sky as it
- looked in the past or as it will look in the future.
- SkyView displays the positions of the sun, moon, and all
- naked-eye planets, as well as all the stars down to a
- limiting magnitude you select.
-
- SkyView creates star displays for varying locations and calendars.
-
- Requires NEXTSTEP 3.x.
-
- Release Notes SkyView 1.1 April 1994
-
- Improved date/time panel interface. Now includes increment/decrement
- buttons (and page up/down keys) and uses a circular slider. Also
- handles daylight-savings-time and days-per-month automatically.
-
- Improved defaults handling. Now saves window frame positions.
-
- Tightened parts of the geometry code to speed up screen redraw and
- avoid identical redraws.
-
- Changed defaults owner from CDISkyView to SkyView to be consistent
- with appkit defaults.
