Note that this plugin requires glue to be installed - see this page for instructions on installing glue.

If you are using pip, you can easily install this plugin and its required dependencies by first cloning the repo with:

git clone https://github.com/glue-viz/glue-solar.git

Then change directory to glue-solar and install with:

pip install -e .

This will auto-register the plugin with glue.

At the moment, this plugin provides a reader for solar data. You can give glue some solar data file (e.g. SJI, rasters) in the FITS format for slit-jaw and spectrograph files. For example, you can start glue by using:

glue mydata.fits

and you can also load files from inside glue.

To run the tests, do:

pytest glue_solar

at the root of the repository. This requires the pytest module to be installed.
