NAME
mkimsets -- create an image set file from the observations for input
to MKNOBSFILE OR OBSFILE
.ih
USAGE
mkimsets imlist idfilters imsets 
.ih
PARAMETERS
.ls imlist
The file(s) containing all the image names and filter ids associated with
the observations.
\fIImlist\fR is a list of APPHOT/DAOPHOT databases if \fIinput\fR =
"photfiles", a list of images if \fIinput\fR = "images", or the name
of a user text file if \fIinput\fR = "user".
The default input is a list of APPHOT/DAOPHOT databases.
.le
.ls idfilters
The ids of the filters, separated by whitespace or
commas, which define a complete observation.
The order in which the filter ids are listed in the string \fIidfilters\fR
determines the order in which the image names associated with each observation
are written in \fIimsets\fR.
.le
.ls imsets
The name of the output image set file which lists each observation of
each star field, assigns a name
to each observation, and specifies which images belong to the same
observation of that star field.
.le
.ls imobsparams = ""
The name of the output image list file containing the image name,
the filter id,
and the quantities specified by \fIfields\fR, for each
unique image referenced in \fIimlist\fR.
\fIImobsparams\fR includes changes made by the user if \fIedit\fR is
"yes". If \fIimobsparams\fR is "" the output image list
is not saved.
.le
.ls input = photfiles
The source of the information used to create the image set file.
The options are:
.ls photfiles
Extract the image list from the APPHOT/DAOPHOT 
databases containing
the photometry. This option uses the PTOOLS task DUMP to extract
the image name, the filter id, the exposure time, the airmass,  the
time of observation, and
other user selected fields \fIfields\fR from the database files.
.le
.ls images
Extract the image list from the headers of the images containing
the objects measured
with APPHOT or DAOPHOT. This option uses the IMAGES task HSELECT to extract
the image name, the filter id \fIfilter\fR, and other user selected
fields \fIfields\fR from the image headers. Useful additional fields
might be the image title and the time of the observation.
.le
.ls user
Extract the image list from a user created file which has the
image name in the first column, the filter id in the column
\fIfilter\fR, and 
other useful information in the columns specified by \fIfields\fR.
.le
.le
.ls filter
The filter id keyword.
\fIFilter\fR is always the APPHOT/DAOPHOT database keyword "IFILTER"
if \fIinput\fR is "photfiles",
the image header keyword which defines the filter id if \fIinput\fR is
"images", or the number of the column
containing the filter id, if \fIinput\fR is "user".
.le
.ls fields = ""
The list of additional fields, besides the image name and filter id,
to be extracted from \fIimlist\fR, separated by whitespace or commas.
If \fIinput\fR is "photfiles" \fIfields\fR is a list of APPHOT/DAOPHOT
keywords including "itime,xairmass"; if \fIinput\fR is "images"
\fIfields\fR is a list of image
header keywords; if \fIinput\fR is "user" \fIfields\fR is a list of the
column numbers defining the fields to be extracted from the user file.
\fIFields\fR may include any quantities, for example airmass, image title, or
the time of the observation, which aid the user in the interactive
image name grouping process.
.le
.ls sort = ""
Sort the extracted image list in order of the value of the quantity \fIsort\fR.
\fISort\fR must be one of the fields
\fI"image"\fR, \fIfilter\fR, or \fIfields\fR if \fIinput\fR
is "images" or "photfiles", or the column number in the user file of the
field to be sorted on if \fIinput\fR is "user".
\fISort\fR is used to reorder the image list 
before entering the editor.
.le
.ls edit = yes
Edit the extracted image name list interactively, checking that the images
belonging to a single observation are adjacent to one another in the list,
and that the filter ids are present and match those in \fIidfilters\fR.
For each observation there must be an image name for every filter
in \fIidfilters\fR.
Missing set members must be assigned the image name "INDEF" for undefined
and the filter id of the missing observation.
.le
.ls rename = yes
Enter new names for each observation of each field interactively.
If \fIrename\fR is "no", default names
of the form "OBS1", "OBS2", ..., "OBSN" are assigned. If \fIrename\fR is "yes",
MKIMSETS prints each image set
on the terminal and prompts the user for the new name.
Images sets containing a single standard star observation should be assigned
the name of the standard star in the standard star catalog.
.le
.ls review = yes
Review and edit \fIimsets\fR to check that the image set names are correct
and that the images names have been properly grouped into sets.
.le
.ih
DESCRIPTION
MKIMSETS is a script task which takes as input a list of
the image names and filter ids, \fIimlist\fR, associated
with objects whose magnitudes have been measured with APPHOT, DAOPHOT,
or a user program, and produces the image set file \fIimsets\fR 
required as input by the preprocessor tasks MKNOBSFILE or OBSFILE.
MKIMSETS is used in conjunction with MKNOBSFILE OR OBSFILE to combine many
individual digital photometry measurements, for example standard star
measurements,
into a single observations file. The source of the input image list is
a list of IRAF images if \fIinput\fR is "images",
a list of APPHOT or DAOPHOT database files if \fIinput\fR is "photfiles",
or a user supplied text file if \fIinput\fR is "user".

The output image set file \fIimsets\fR lists each observation of
each star field, assigns a name supplied by the user
to each observation, and specifies which images belong to the same
observation of that star field.
In the case of image sets which contain a single standard star measurement,
the image set name should
match the name of the standard star in the standard star catalog.

The optional output image observing parameters file \fIimobsparams\fR
lists each unique image in \fIimlist\fR, its
filter id \fIfilter\fR, and other user specified fields \fIfields\fR.
\fIImobsparams\fR may be edited by
the user, and used by the preprocessor tasks MKNOBSFILE or OBSFILE
to correct erroneous or undefined values of
filter id, exposure time, airmass and time of observation in the input
databases.  By default \fIimobsparams\fR is not written.

After task initialization, MKIMSETS extracts each unique image name,
the corresponding filter id stored in column \fIfilter\fR,
and the corresponding values of the user defined fields \fIfields\fR,
from the input list \fIimlist\fR, and writes the resulting image list
in tabular form to a temporary file.
The temporary image list file contains the image name in column 1,
the value of \fIfilter\fR in column 2, and the values of
any additional fields in succeeding columns in the order they were
specified in \fIfields\fR.

If \fIsort\fR is one of the extracted
fields "image", \fIfilter\fR, or \fIfields\fR, MKIMSETS sorts the image
list based on the values of \fIsort\fR, before writing the results to the
the temporary image list file.

If \fIedit\fR is "yes", the user enters the text editor and edits the
temporary image list interactively.
The image list must be arranged so that members of each image set are
adjacent to each other in the image list.
Missing images may be represented by
an INDEF in column 1, the appropriate filter id in column 2, and
INDEF in any other columns.
The edit step is necessary if the image names are not in any logical
order in \fIimlist\fR for \fIinput\fR = "images",
do not occur in any logical order in the APPHOT/DAOPHOT 
databases for \fIinput\fR = "photfiles", or are not listed logically
in \fIimlist\fR for \fIinput\fR = "user".
At this point MKIMSETS saves the temporary image list in the text file
\fIimobsparams\fR, if \fIimobsparams\fR is defined.

After the initial edit, MKIMSETS groups the images in the temporary image list,
by using the filter ids in \fIidfilters\fR, and assuming that the image
names are in logical order.
If \fIrename\fR is "yes", MKIMSETS prompts the user for the name of each 
image set. Otherwise the default names OBS1, OBS2, ..., OBSN are
assigned.
If \fIreview\fR is "yes", MKIMSETS enters the editor, permitting the user
to review \fIimsets\fR and interactively
correct any mistakes.
Image sets are written to \fIimsets\fR, 1 set
per line with the image set name in column 1, a colon in column 2,
followed by, in filter order and separated by whitespace, the names of the
images of that field, for that  observation.

EXAMPLES

1. Create an image set file from a list of APPHOT databases which
contain UBV observations of 5 standard stars. The UBV filters are
identified in the APPHOT databases by the filters ids "1","2", "3" 
respectively. There is one database file
for each star measured. Since data for each of the stars was taken
sequentially and the images were read sequentially off tape, the user
requests MKIMSETS to sort the extracted data by image name. Note that
the time of observation field was undefined in the input data sets.

.nf

	   ... the user notices that standard 4 is missing a B
	       observation and that the observations of standard 3
	       are out of order and edits the file as follows

2. Create the image set file from the list of IRAF images associated with
the APPHOT databases in example 1.  The images contain the image
header keyword "f1pos" which specifies the filter id and which may assume
the values "1,2,3" where "1,2,3" stand for "U,B,V". 
Since the data for the individual stars was taken sequentially the user
requests MKIMSETS to print out value of the sidereal time stored in the
image header keyword "ST", and to sort on that
parameter. The image title is also printed out as an image grouping
aid to the user. It is placed last in the fields parameter because  any
internal blanks in the title would otherwise confuse the sorting routine.

.nf
	ph> mkimsets *.imh "1,2,3" jan10.stdim input="images" \
	    filter="f1pos" fields="ST,i_title" sort="ST"

	   ... MKIMSETS constructs the image list and sorts on
	       the column containing the sidereal time

	   ... MKIMSETS enters the editor and lists the first
	       few lines of the temporary image list file, the sidereal
	       time is in column 3 and the image title containing
	       some blanks is in column 4
