WWT 2022 Release Notes: Toasty

Toasty is a Python library for processing data into WWT’s formats. It also provides a command-line tool, toasty, supporting common data processing needs.

Installation & Getting Started

See the Creators page for information on installing Toasty and getting started using it.

Completely Rebuilt for WWT 2022

While the Toasty Python library has been around for a while, it has been completely rebuilt for WWT 2022. It is now much more flexible, supporting a variety of image formats such as FITS, OpenEXR, JPEG2000, and more. It now supports all-sky, planetary, and “study” data formats, and adds the toasty command-line tool. It now supports Windows, too.

Pipeline Functionality

The WWT 2022 release of Toasty also adds new “pipeline” functionality for processing large, evolving sets of images. See the Toasty documentation for more information.
