Commands Overview

Commands overview

Data reduction commands used in this Cookbook (and in CSH scrips referred to in the Cookbook).

hdstrace - shows the data structure of an NDF

Kappa

add - adds data pixel-by-pixel
block - smooths data with 1-dim or 2-dim box filter
chanmap - creates channel map by compressing data along one axis
chpix - replaces the values of selected pixels
clinplot - draws a spatial grid of line plots for one axis of an NDF
collapse - reduces the number of axes by compression along one axis
compave - reduces size of an NDF by averaging values in rectangular boxes
copybad - copies bad pixels from one NDF to another
cursor - reports the coordinates of positions selected with cursor
display - displays a 1-dim or 2-dim NDF
ffclean - removes defects from a flat NDF (1 to 3-dim)
fitslist - lists the fits extension of an NDF
flip - reverses the pixels of an NDF along one axis
gausmooth - smooths an NDF using a Gaussian filter
hislist - lists history records of an NDF
histat - computes statistics for pixels of an NDF using a histogram
kaphelp - shows information about Kappa
linplot - draws a line plot along one dimension of an NDF
listshow - reports the positions stored in a positions list
lutcol - loads the standard colour lookup table
manic - changes the dimensionality of (part of) an NDF
maths - evaluates mathematical expressions applied to NDFs
mfittrend - fits independent trends (baselines) to data lines
ndfcopy - copies (part of) NDF to new NDF
ndftrace - shows the attributes of an NDF structure
parget - obtains the value(s) of an application parameter
provshow - displays provenance information for an NDF
rotate - rotates an NDF about its centre through any angle
setaxis - sets values for an axis array component within an NDF
sqorst - squashes or stretches an NDF
stats - computes simple statistics for the pixels of an NDF
sub - subtraces one NDF from another
thresh - edits an NDF to replace pixel values in(out)side limits with a constant value
wcsalign - aligns a group of NDFs using WCS information
wcsattrib - manages attribute values associated with WCS information of an NDF
wcsframe - changes the current coordinate frame of the WCS information of an NDF
wcsmosaic - tiles a group of NDFs using WCS information
