+ATNF CSIRO Karma is a package for signal and image processing
+applications. It contains KarmaLib (the structured library and API)
+and a large number of modules and applications to perform many standard
+tasks on astronomical data in common formats like FITS. It is a toolkit
+for manipulating the Karma network data structure.
+
+Another major component of KarmaLib is the display support. The display
+system both provides an abstract interface to the underlying graphics
+system (ie. the X window system), and also provides much higher level
+functionality than many graphics libraries. As well as supporting simple
+geometric primitives and text display, a powerful and flexible image
+display system is included. This allows the direct mapping of
+application data structures (ie. 2-D and 3-D arrays) to display
+windows (canvases).
+
+This SlackBuild script builds a Slackware package from the official
+binary distributed by CSIRO.
