Conversion from Ds9 format

Another way to generate color tables is to convert Ds9 color maps to xcolorcod format with the two auxiliary converter tools sao2xcolorcod/lut2xcolorcod. It is possible to write Ds9 color tables to an output files in either SAOimage (extension .sao) or SAOtng/XImtool (extension .lut) format (please consult the Ds9 documentation for more details on this). sao2xcolorcod/lut2xcolorcod read these data from stdin and take the name of the xcolorcod color table data set to be generated as only argument, e.g.

    sao2xcolorcod rainbow.ds <rainbow.sao
