Main features:
Make plots interactively or using scripts
Show grayscale, colorscale, and 3-color RGB images of FITS files
Generate co-aligned FITS cubes to make 3-color RGB images
Make plots from FITS files with arbitrary WCS (e.g. position-velocity)
Slice multi-dimensional FITS cubes
Overlay any number of contour sets
Overlay markers with fully customizable symbols
Plot customizable shapes like circles, ellipses, and rectangles
Overlay ds9 region files
Overlay coordinate grids
Show colorbars, scalebars, and beams
Customize the appearance of labels and ticks
Hide, show, and remove different contour and marker layers
Pan, zoom, and save any view as a full publication-quality plot
