Facilities Available

This section outlines the facilities available in GAIA. The hypertext version of the cookbook contains links to `outline recipes' which summarise how to use these facilities. These outline recipes complement the smaller number of detailed recipes in Part II of the cookbook. The facilities provided by GAIA divide naturally into three areas:

• image display,

• image analysis,

• remote access to catalogues and image databases via the Internet.

The facilities available in each of these three areas are briefly outlined below.
