New user, question about documentation

[fildefer]

Hello,
my name is Vincent, I'm french and I'm a new user of this wonderful software.

As I understand, to have the documentation about pixinsight I have to download some pidoc files and use the script documentation compiler to make the documentation files.
But I don't find where I can download this pidocs files can you help ma please?

An another question, I like new technologies but I also like the paper, so is there a printable version of pixinsight documentation?

Thank you in advance
And excuse me if this questions have been already asked but I don't find it with the search tool.

Hi Vincent,

AFAIK the most of the Processes are explained with built in documentation that can also be printed. For the moment there is no "complete" printable version that explains from A to Z.
Searching the forum you will also find a lot of nice tutorials; especially the ones Harry Page (http://www.harrysastroshed.com/pixinsighthome.html) has created are really useful to new and experimented users!
In my screenshot you can see where to "activate" the nice documentation

Hi Lex,
thank you very much for your help.
I begin to look at the video tutorial and with this documentation it will be useful for me.

thank again

If you prefer your favorite browser, try http://pixinsight.com/doc/ . It has the same contents as the documentation installed with PI. This one is old, but also useful sometimes http://blog.deepskycolors.com/PixInsight/PI-OURG_Index.html. Also try the links you find on http://pixinsight.com/ under Resources.

Vincent, welcome to the group! I think you will really love PixInsight.

When the PI guys do documentation, they really DO IT right. Take a look at this full documentation of the very important ImageIntegration process: http://pixinsight.com/doc/tools/ImageIntegration/ImageIntegration.html

Harry's excellent videos are the place that a lot of us first got our bearings. I'd also highly recommend Vicent (without the first 'n'!) Peris' workflow tutorial (in 2 parts) on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL67AB2FC8F37C35B1&feature=plcp

Those videos really helped me see the logic in the processing steps and made me a much better processor.

Hello,
thank georg and jlake, that will help me a lot.  ^-^Now I have to read all of that documentation and try what I learn on my images.
I probably come again soon to ask you some newbie questions.
Thank you again

Salut Vincent 

heu... non rien...
la doc arrive au compte goutte mais il y a pas mal de tutos et de sites qui expliquent certaines fonctions.

Bon, viens au stage fin mai, tu sauras TOUT sur Pixi. Plus besoin de doc après ça

Salut Philippe
j'aurais adoré pouvoir venir au stage fin mai mais  malheureusement c'est pas possible à cause du boulot sauf si les choses changent puis d'ailleurs je crois que les inscriptions sont terminées non?
En tous les cas c'est super d'organiser ce stage et puis j'espère que vous ferez tout plein de videos et que vous les mettrais sur le site de l'AIP.
En attendant je vais jeter un oeil à tes tutos.

Cordialement
vincent
