NAME:
findobj
PURPOSE:
Locate image changes with 3-plane color overlays
DESCRIPTION:
CATEGORY:
Astronomy
CALLING SEQUENCE:
findobj,root,image1,image2,image3,NOCLEAN=noclean
-or-
findobj,image1,image2[,image3]
INPUTS:
First input format:
root - String containing the root of the file name (no path).
image1 - Image number (integer) to load into the red image plane.
image2 - Image number to load into the green image plane.
image3 - Image number to load into the blue image plane (default=image2)
Second input format:
image1 - File name of image to load into red image plane.
image2 - File name of image to load into green image plane.
image3 - File name of image to load into blue image plane (default=image2).
OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS:
KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS:
BINFAC - binning factor for image display, default=1
EXTEN - Extension number of subimage to read (default=0, primary)
NOCLEAN - Flag, if set will suppress the automatic removal of cosmic rays.
Note: this step can take a very long time if you don't have
a fast machine. On an Ultra 1/170 I find I will occasionally
supress cleaning.
NOSCALE - Flag, if set suppressing the scaling operation when reading the FITS file
PATH - Path where data is to be found, default = current directory
QUEUE - Printer queue for hardcopy, default is chani for color and
office for b/w
SAVECLEAN - Flag, if set will cause the cleaned image to be saved alongside
the original image. The new file will have 'c' appended to the
root of the file name.
OUTPUTS:
No explicit outputs but you are prompted for a final hardcopy in either
color or black and white.
KEYWORD OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
CCUBE - If provided, this keyword returns a three dimensional byte array
of the final stacked color cube displayed in window 3.
COMMON BLOCKS:
SIDE EFFECTS:
RESTRICTIONS:
You must have a 24-bit color display to use this program.
