User manual

The main menu “Interop” allows you to access all SAMP functions, and notably the SAMP

options. It is also possible to use the contextual menu directly associated to the

“antenna” (right click, or Ctrl click).

Transfer of Data

Once Aladin is connected to another application it is possible to send and receive data

(images, tables, ...) and to create new entries in the stack. To send data, select the

relevant planes in the stack and open the “Interop” menu for indicating the target

applications you wish to send the data to.

Interactions

Generally, when the data are tables or catalogues, the sources selected in one of the

applications are automatically selected in the other application. It is a very practical

method for example, to show the distribution of source selected, say in a colour-colour

diagram in VOPlot, on the sky.
