FitsPHP (or `fits-php`) is a dumb and crappy "library" to somehow interact with the FITS image format used in astronomy.
|
||||
The library tries to implement a reasonable subset of the [FITS standard](https://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_standard.html). Of course, it all depends on the definition of 'reasonable'...
|
||||
|
||||
It should allow for the image to be displayed in a browser or even a terminal (yeah, right...).
|
||||
|
||||
## Why
|
||||
|
||||
Why not? But seriously, this doesn't make any sense, you should never use it in any circumstance whatsoever! The idea for this terrible endeavour came from [a video by Dylan O'Donnell](https://youtube.com).

Read a specific keyword value from the FITS header. In this example, `BITPIX` is read which represents the bit depth (bits per pixel) of the image. The bitpix is also a property of the image blob, represented by a PHP `Enum`. Calling the `type()` method on the property returns a string with the following possible values (assuming the bitpix is valid in the first place):
|
||||
|
||||
|Bitpix value|Type string|Interpretation|
|
||||
-------------|-----------|--------------|
|
||||
| 8 | `int8` |Character or unsigned binary integer|
|
||||
| 16 | `int16` |16 bit two's complement binary integer|
|
||||
| 32 | `int32` |32 bit two's complement binary integer|
|
||||
| 64 | `int64` |64 bit two's complement binary integer|
|
||||
| -32 |`float32`|IEEE single-precision floating point|

use Dumbastro\FitsPhp\FitsHeader;
|
||||
|
||||
$fits = new Fits('bubble_nebula.fit'); // Bit-depth is 32-bit unsigned (for example)
|
||||
$fitsHeader = new FitsHeader($fits->headerBlock);
|
||||
$bitpix = (int) $fitsHeader->keyword('BITPIX')->value;
|
||||
|
||||
// Or, with the image blob
|
||||
$blob = new ImageBlob($header, $fits->imageBlob);
|
||||
echo $blob->bitpix->type(); //int32

|
||||
## TODO
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] Read keywords from the FITS header
|
||||
- [x] Separate the main data table (actual image data) from the header (partly done? Who knows...)
|
||||
- [] Actually display the image in the standard output
|
||||
- [] Save the image to PNG and JPG
|
||||
- [] Manipulate the bits using basic processing algorithms??
