getXpaAccessPoint

lsst.display.ds9.getXpaAccessPoint()

Parse XPA_PORT if set and return an identifier to send DS9 commands.

Returns:
xpaAccessPointstr

Either a reference to the local host with the configured port, or the string "ds9".

Notes

If you don’t have XPA_PORT set, the usual xpans tricks will be played when we return "ds9".
