+.TH FV "1" "July 2009" "Heasoft" "User Commands"
+.SH NAME
+fv \- a tool for viewing and editing FITS format files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B fv
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+fv is a FITS file viewer and editor developed at the High Energy Astrophysics
+Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) at NASA / GSFC.
+.PP
+To start up fv on Unix workstations, enter `fv' in a command window. You can
+optionally append the name of a FITS file, or multiple files, to be
+opened. For example, `fv ngc1316o.fit' opens a single file, and `fv ngc*'
+opens all the FITS files in the current directory whose name matches the
+string. On Windows PCs you can start fv either by double clicking on the fv
+desktop icon, or by dragging a FITS file from, say, Windows Explorer onto the
+fv icon. It is also possible to set up your Windows or Unix environment so
+that you can just double click (in the File Manager or on an e-mail
+attachment) on a FITS file that has a standard extension like `.fit' or
+`.fits' and then have fv automatically start up and open that file. 
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+.TP
+\fB\-cmap \fIm
+Set the colormap.
+.IP
+\fBm=0\fR
+Default behavior.  I.e. choose the "best" colormap.
+.IP
+\fBm=1\fR
+Force POW to setup a new private pseudocolor colormap (very safe)
+.IP
+\fBm=2\fR
+Force POW to use truecolor mode (very safe, but looks bad on low color
+displays and runs slower than pseudocolor).  Note: this will cause
+powSetupColormap to look for a truecolor visual; if it can't find one, it will
+allow the main Tk code to pick a visual, but POW will still use "truecolor
+mode" (i.e. the Tk photo widget) to display images. 
+.IP
+\fBm=3\fR
+Force use of the screen default colormap. This should be reasonably safe now,
+but often won't be what you want. 
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The environment variable FVTMP defines what directory fv will use to create
+temporary files.
+.SH AUTHOR
+Text copied from heasoft's web page at 
+http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/software/lheasoft/ftools/fv/doc/startFv.html
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+The program is documented fully by the online help that can be accessed from
+the built-in help viewer.
