3D Render

In addition to display 3D datasets one slice at a time, ds9 can also render data cubes in 3D.

Data

ArLac, OBS_ID 13182

download_chandra_obsid 13182 evt2
dmcopy "hrcf13182N002_evt2.fits[sky=circle(16404,16499,40)][bin chipx=7370:7857:1,chipy=7590:8080:1,time=::#100]" ar_lac.cube

Here we have filtered the HRC event file on sky coordinates, but then binned the image into a 3D cube in chip coordinates vs. time.
