makethumbs (makethumbs-0.8.1) [xmmsas_20230412_1735-21.0.0]


Examples

Here are a few simple examples of the use of this task.

  1. User-specified coordinates
    makethumbs imageset=P0123456789M1S001IMAGE_8000.FIT
      withsrclist=no outfilename=out.gif
      ra=123.45 dec=-67.89
    

  2. User-specified coordinates with catalogue
    makethumbs imageset=P0123456789M1S001IMAGE_8000.FIT
      srcnum=5 cattab='cat2xmm.fits:SRCLIST'
      withsrclist=no outfilename=out.gif
    

  3. Simplest (single source)
    makethumbs imageset=P0123456789M1S001IMAGE_8000.FIT
      srclisttab='P0123456789EPX000OBSMLI0000.FIT:SRCLIST'
      srcnum=5 gifroot='m1image_'
    

  4. Simplest (multiple sources, with the catalogue input)
    makethumbs imageset=P0123456789M1S001IMAGE_8000.FIT
      srclisttab='P0123456789EPX000OBSMLI0000.FIT:SRCLIST'
      cattab='cat2xmm.fits:SRCLIST'
      gifroot='m1image_'
