Mercator	GIPS is set of software tools that assists in creating, manipulating and displaying two-dimensional images within the UNIX environment. All GIPS images are stored as single UNIX files and may be piped from one process to another or between nodes of a network. GIPS commands obey the familiar rules for UNIX command syntax, and image operations of arbitrary complexity may be built up from modular building blocks. Where necessary the commands address specific output devices via a common interface. Developed for Pioneer Venus Radar data analysis at Center for Space Research. SunView and X11/Xview interfaces are supported.	Orthographic
