Name

ccdplot - display program for 2D image maps (contour and/or gray-scale)

Synopsis

ccdplot in=snapshot [parameter=value]

Description

ccdplot is a quick and dirty way to plot a contour representation of a 2D image map. It can also superimpose a grayscale represention (not all yapp devices support this though), or optionally leave out the contour values.

3D images cannot be plotted, but data files that contain multiple 2D images are plotted in succession.

Parameters

The following parameters are recognized in order; they may be given in any order if the keyword is also given. Use --help to confirm this man page is up to date.
in=in-file
input file, must be in Image(5) format. [no default]
contour=values
A list of contour values to be plotted. If the keyword is not used a grayscale-map is produced between displaylevels mmin and mmax (see below). For mmin < mmax this will be a ’negative’ image (lowest values are white, which is also the default). For mmin > mmax this will be a ’positive’ image. [default: no contour levels plotted, grayscale is plotted]
gray=true|false
Should the grayscale map be used/superimposed? [default depends on usage of contour keyword].
mmin=mmin
Minimum mapvalue to be plotted. [default: auto-scaled].
mmax=mmax
Maximum mapvalue to be plotted [default: auto-scaled].
power=value
Power of the transfer function for a grayscale display, also known as the gamma factor. Only values between mmin and mmax are plotted. A power greater than one will enhance the higher intensities, smaller than 1 the lower intensities. Another possibility is to apply a mathematical transformation using ccdmath(1NEMO) before this program. [default: 1, i.e. a linear transfer function].
xrange=values
Range in x to plot, e.g. -2:2 [default: whole matrix, sizes are obtained from mapheader]. Warning: BUG, don’t used
yrange=values
Range in y to plot. See xrange. Warning: BUG, don’t used
headline=
optional header above plot [Default: not used]
tab=
Output table of contour segments. Default not used.
format=
Format for above table [Default: %g]
cmode=
Contour mode (0=orginal 1=pgplot) [Default: 0]
blankval=
if used, use this as blankval. Default not used.
ltype=
width and type for contour. Default: 1,1
xlab=
(override) Label along X-axis
ylab=
(override) Label along Y-axis
xscale=
Scale all X values by this
yscale=
Scale all Y values by this
relative=f|t
Use contour levels a fraction of the peak in the image [f]
abs=f|t
Use absolute WCS coordinates? (vs. relative)

Examples


ccdplot foo.dat contour=1:10:0.5    contour map only
ccdplot foo.dat                  gray scale map only, with default min/max
ccdplot foo.dat contour=1:10:2 gray=true    contour + gray scale map overlayed
Future EnhancementsA color bar at the bottom, or so. Extensive encoding
of contour-levels etc. around plot-frame 
Sorting contour values must be done
(sort of a bug really) 
See Alsoimage(5NEMO), ccddisplay(1NEMO), uns_2dplot(1NEMO)
BugsNot always greyscale map produced, you may need an old version of my
yapp_ps. We haven’t decided on a proper way to call/define pl_matrix(3NEMO)
I guess. Clipping absent, produces awkward pictures when not whole area
to be  displayed. 
Plotting subregions doesn’t work
