Type: Verb
Use: TVSTAR will plot "star" positions from an ST extension
file for an image on the TV. If there is more than one
image (of a map) visible on the TV, the routine will ask
the user to position the cursor on any part of the image
he wishes starred and then to press any button.
Note that the image used to load the TV must have an ST
extension file (produced by STARS) before TVSTAR may be
run.
Adverbs:
INVERS......Version number of ST (star position) file to be
used to plot star positions as plus signs.
0 => highest.
STFACTOR....Scale factor used to multiply star sizes in file
for plotting. > 0 => scale star size
= 0 => 1
< 0 => scale by abs(STFACTOR) and
show any star label
GRCHAN......Graphics channel (1 - 7) to use for line drawing.
0 => 2.
