Name

plotcuts -- overplot cuts from multiple places along a spectrum

Usage

plotcuts image

Parameters

image
Image(s) to plot
y1
First row to plot
y2
Last row to plot
nsum=5
Number of columns to coadd

Description

This task will plot three column cuts along the specified image(s), showing only the regions between rows y1 and y2. The column cuts are taken at the center of the image and near the left and right edges. The plot is scaled to the peak value occurring within the range of rows in the image. Visual inspection of the resulting plot can reveal whether the removal of spatial distortions is adequate.

Examples

  1. Plot three cuts along the spectrum in image 24des0014y, extending from row 520 to 640 and including 5 columns in each sum: 
         plotcuts 24des0014y y1=520 y2=640 nsum=5
    The alignment of peaks in the resulting plot shows that the distortion removal across the spectrum is good.
