+.le
+.ls box
+The width of the fitting box in scale units.
+.le
+.ls coords = ""
+The list of text files containing initial coordinates for the objects to

+extension is "coo" and version is the next available version number for the
+file.
+.le
+.ls output = "default"
+The name of the results file or results directory. If output is
+"default", "dir$default", or a directory specification then an output file name
+of the form dir$root.extension.version is constructed, where dir is the
+directory, root is the root image name, extension is "psf" and version is
+the next available version number for the file. The number of output files
+must be zero, one, or equal to the number of image files. In both interactive
+and batch mode full output is written to output. In interactive mode
+an output summary is also written to the standard output.
+.le
+.ls datapars = ""
+The name of the file containing the data dependent parameters.
+The critical parameters \fIfwhmpsf\fR and \fIsigma\fR are located in
+datapars. If datapars is undefined then the default parameter set in
+uparm directory is used.
+.le
+.ls function = "radgauss"
+The function to be fit. The options are:
+.ls radgauss
+A 2D radial Gaussian function is fit. The parameters of the fitting function
+are: x and y center, sigma of the Gaussian, amplitude of the Gaussian and
+the local sky value.
+.le
+.ls elgauss

+function are: x and y center, x and y sigma of the Gaussian, amplitude of
+the Gaussian and the local sky value.
+.le
+.ls moments
+The 0th, 1st and 2nd order moments are computed and used to derive
+estimates of the
+x and y center values, radius of gyration, ellipticity and position
+angle of the object.
+.le
+.le
+.ls maxiter = 50
+The maximum number of iterations that the non-linear fitting routines will
+perform in an attempt to find a satisfactory fit.
+.le
+.ls nreject = 0
+The maximum number of rejection cycles performed after the fit.
+The default is no rejection.
+.le
+.ls kreject = 3.0
+The k-sigma rejection limit in units of sigma.
+.le

+.le
+.ls icommands = ""
+The image cursor or image cursor command file.
+.le
+.ls gcommands = ""
+The graphics cursor or graphics cursor command file.
+.le
+.ls wcsin = ")_.wcsin", wcsout = ")_.wcsout"
+The coordinate system of the input coordinates read from \fIcoords\fR and
+of the output coordinates written to \fIoutput\fR respectively. The image
+header coordinate system is used to transform from the input coordinate
+system to the "logical" pixel coordinate system used internally,
+and from the internal "logical" pixel coordinate system to the output
+coordinate system. The input coordinate system options are "logical", tv",
+"physical", and "world". The output coordinate system options are "logical",
+"tv", and "physical". The image cursor coordinate system is assumed to
+be the "tv" system.
+.ls logical
+Logical coordinates are pixel coordinates relative to the current image.
+The logical coordinate system is the coordinate system used by the image
+input/output routines to access the image data on disk. In the logical
+coordinate system the coordinates of the first pixel of a 2D image, e.g.
+dev$ypix and a 2D image section, e.g. dev$ypix[200:300,200:300] are
+always (1,1).
+.le
+.ls tv
+Tv coordinates are the pixel coordinates used by the display servers. Tv
+coordinates include the effects of any input image section, but do not
+include the effects of previous linear transformations. If the input
+image name does not include an image section, then tv coordinates are
+identical to logical coordinates. If the input image name does include a
+section, and the input image has not been linearly transformed or copied from
+a parent image, tv coordinates are identical to physical coordinates.
+In the tv coordinate system the coordinates of the first pixel of a
+2D image, e.g. dev$ypix and a 2D image section, e.g. dev$ypix[200:300,200:300]
+are (1,1) and (200,200) respectively.
+.le
+.ls physical
+Physical coordinates are pixel coordinates invariant with respect to linear
+transformations of the physical image data. For example, if the current image
+was created by extracting a section of another image, the physical
+coordinates of an object in the current image will be equal to the physical
+coordinates of the same object in the parent image, although the logical
+coordinates will be different. In the physical coordinate system the
+coordinates of the first pixel of a 2D image, e.g. dev$ypix and a 2D
+image section, e.g. dev$ypix[200:300,200:300] are (1,1) and (200,200)
+respectively.
+.le
+.ls world
+World coordinates are image coordinates in any units which are invariant
+with respect to linear transformations of the physical image data. For
+example, the ra and dec of an object will always be the same no matter
+how the image is linearly transformed. The units of input world coordinates
+must be the same as those expected by the image header wcs, e. g.
+degrees and degrees for celestial coordinate systems.
+.le
+The wcsin and wcsout parameters default to the values of the package
+parameters of the same name. The default values of the package parameters
+wcsin and wcsout are "logical" and "logical" respectively.
+.le
+.le
+.ls cache = ")_.cache"
+Cache the image pixels in memory. Cache may be set to the value of the apphot
+package parameter (the default), "yes", or "no". By default cacheing is
+disabled.
+.le
+.ls verify = ")_.verify"
+Verify the critical parameters in non-interactive mode ? Verify may be set to
+the apphot package parameter value (the default), "yes", or "no.
+.le
+.ls update = ")_.update"
+Update the critical parameters in non-interactive mode if verify is set of
+"yes" ? Update may be set to the apphot package parameter value (the default),
+"yes", or "no.
+
+.le
+.ls verbose = ")_.verbose"
+Print messages on the terminal in non-interactive mode ? Verbose may be set
+to the apphot package parameter value (the default), "yes", or "no.
+
+.le
+.ls graphics = ")_.graphics"
+The default graphics device. Graphics may be set to the apphot package
+parameter value (the default), "yes", or "no.
+.le
+.ls display = ")_.display"
+The default display device. Display may be set to the apphot package
+parameter value (the default), "yes", or "no. By default graphics overlay
+is disabled. Setting display to one of "imdr", "imdg", "imdb", or "imdy"
+enables graphics overlay with the IMD graphics kernel. Setting display to
+"stdgraph" enables FITPSF to work interactively from a contour plot.

+DESCRIPTION
+
+FITPSF models the stellar brightness distribution of objects in the IRAF image
+\fIimage\fR using non-linear least squares techniques and writes the
+list of model parameters and associated errors to the file \fIoutput\fR.
+Initial coordinates for the objects are read from the image cursor or
+the text file \fIcoords\fR. Pixels in a subraster of width \fIbox * scale\fR
+are extracted and used in the fit.
+
+The coordinates read from \fIcoords\fR are assumed to be in coordinate
+system defined by \fIwcsin\fR. The options are "logical", "tv", "physical",
+and "world" and the transformation from the input coordinate system to
+the internal "logical" system is defined by the image coordinate system.
+The simplest default is the "logical" pixel system. Users working on with
+image sections but importing pixel coordinate lists generated from the parent
+image must use the "tv" or "physical" input coordinate systems.
+Users importing coordinate lists in world coordinates, e.g. ra and dec,
+must use the "world" coordinate system and may need to convert their
+equatorial coordinate units from hours and degrees to degrees and degrees first.
+
+The coordinates written to \fIoutput\fR are in the coordinate
+system defined by \fIwcsout\fR. The options are "logical", "tv",
+and "physical". The simplest default is the "logical" system. Users
+wishing to correlate the output coordinates of objects measured in
+image sections or mosaic pieces with coordinates in the parent
+image must use the "tv" or "physical" coordinate systems.
+
+If \fIcache\fR is yes and the host machine physical memory and working set size
+are large enough, the input image pixels are cached in memory. If cacheing
+is enabled and FITPSF is run interactively the first measurement will appear
+to take a long time as the entire image must be read in before the measurement
+is actually made. All subsequent measurements will be very fast because FITPSF
+is accessing memory not disk. The point of cacheing is to speed up random
+image access by making the internal image i/o buffers the same size as the
+image itself. However if the input object lists are sorted in row order and
+sparse cacheing may actually worsen not improve the execution time. Also at
+present there is no point in enabling cacheing for images that are less than
+or equal to 524288 bytes, i.e. the size of the test image dev$ypix, as the
+default image i/o buffer is exactly that size. However if the size of dev$ypix
+is doubled by converting it to a real image with the chpixtype task then the
+effect of cacheing in interactive is can be quite noticeable if measurements
+of objects in the top and bottom halfs of the image are alternated.
+
+FITPSF can be run either interactively or in batch mode by setting the
+parameter \fIinteractive\fR. In interactive mode starting x and y positions
+can either be read directly from the image cursor or read from the text
+file specified by \fIcoords\fR. In batch mode the estimated
+positions can be read from the text file \fIcoords\fR or the image cursor
+parameter \fIicommands\fR can be redirected to a text file containing
+a list of cursor commands.

+ALGORITHMS
+
+The fitting parameters are \fIfunction\fR, the functional form of the model
+to be fit, \fImaxiter\fR, the maximum number of iterations per fit,
+\fIkreject\fR, the K-sigma rejection limit and \fInreject\fR, the maximum
+number of rejection cycles. The currently available functions are a 2D
+moments analysis "moments", a 2D radial Gaussian "radgauss", and a
+2D elliptical Gaussian "elgauss".
+
+The weighting of the fit is determined by the parameter \fInoise\fR in the
+\fIdatapars\fR file. The two options are \fIconstant\fR, in which all the
+weights are set to 1 and \fIpoisson\fR in which the weights are equal to
+the inverse of the counts divided by the image gain read from the datapars
+\fIgain\fR or \fIepadu\fR parameters plus the square of the readout noise
+determined from the datapars parameters \fIccdread\fR or \fIreadnoise\fR.
+If \fIfunction\fR is either "radgauss" or "ellgauss" then the datapars
+parameter \fIfwhmpsf\fR is used to determine the initial guess for the
+Gaussian sigma. The datapars parameter \fIthreshold\fR determines the
+intensity threshold above which the moment analysis is performed.
+
+.ih
+OUTPUT

+In interactive mode the following quantities are printed on the
+terminal as shown below, for the radial Gaussian, elliptical Gaussian and
+moments functions respectively.

+
+ image xcenter ycenter rgyrat ellip pa amplitude sky err
+
+.fi
+
+In both interactive and batch mode the full output is written to the
+text file \fIoutput\fR. At the beginning of each file is a header
+listing the values of the parameters when the first stellar
+record was written. These parameters can be subsequently altered.
+For each star measured the following record is written for the radial
+Gaussian, elliptical Gaussian, and moments functions respectively.
+

+.fi
+
+Image and coords are the name of the image and coordinate files respectively.
+Id and lid are the sequence numbers of stars in the output and coordinate
+files respectively and xinit and yinit are the initial positions.
+Xcenter and ycenter are the computed x and y
+positions of the object. Rsigma, xsigma and ysigma are the distance from
+the center of the Gaussian at which the Gaussian is equal to exp (-0.5)
+of its central value. Xsigma and ysigma refer to those values along the major
+and minor axes of the ellipse respectively. The amplitude and sky refer to
+the amplitude of
+the Gaussian function and a constant background value respectively.

+above threshold and sky is the threshold value. Rot and pa are position angles
+of the major axis measured counter-clockwise with respect to the x axis.
+Rgyrat is the radius
+of gyration of the object and ellip its ellipticity.

+fitted parameters.
+
+.ih

+BUGS
+
+In interactive mode the user should not change the type function to be fit
+after the first record is written to the output file. In this case the file
+header and record structure will not match.
+
+It is currently the responsibility of the user to make sure that the
+image displayed in the frame is the same as that specified by the image
+parameter.
+
+Commands which draw to the image display are disabled by default.
+To enable graphics overlay on the image display, set the display
+parameter to "imdr", "imdg", "imdb", or "imdy" to get red, green,
+blue or yellow overlays and set the mkbox switch to"yes".
+It may be necessary to run gflush and to redisplay the image
+to get the overlays position correctly.
