Synopsis

This is a diagnositc routine intended to allow one to make plots of rows and columns in regions of images that show breaks in the apparent flux

Command Line Usage

usage: MakeXcut.py  -filt N662 -exptime 400 -size 200 -ymin 30 -ymax 100 xdir ra dec

where

-xfilt designates a fileter to use
-exptime designates and expousre time to chose
-size indicates the size in pixels of the xcuts
-ymin and -ymax set the min and maxim y leve

and
xdir is the directory in which to look for fits files
ra and dec are the ra and dec of a position to inspect

Module Contents

xMakeXcut.do_xcut_plot(ztab_name, ra=10, dec=-70, xfilt='N662', exptime=400.0, size=100, ymin=30, ymax=100)

xMakeXcut.doit(ra='01:02:38.6', dec='-71:59:08.23', xdir='.', xfilt='N662', exptime=400, size=200, ymin=30, ymax=100): Run the script

xMakeXcut.get_pixel_scale(filename): Return the pixel scale from and image that is presumed to be in extension 1

xMakeXcut.make_xcut_tab(xdir)

xMakeXcut.radec2deg(ra, dec): Convert coordiantes to degrees if necessary

xMakeXcut.radec2pix(x, ra=15.0, dec=-71)

Open a file and see if the position is inside the image. If so incdicate the location and flux nearby. Also collect some other information about the object

If the position is not in the image, then -99, -99 is returned for the pixel position

xMakeXcut.round2integer(arr)

xMakeXcut.steer(argv): MakeXcut.py -filt N662 -exptime 400 -size 200 -ymin 30 -ymax 100 xdir ra dec
