+NAME
+ccdgroups -- Group CCD images into image lists
+.ih
+USAGE
+ccdgroups images output
+.ih
+PARAMETERS
+.ls images
+List of CCD images to be grouped.
+.le
+.ls output
+Output root group filename. The image group lists will be put in files
+with this root name followed by a number.
+.le
+.ls group = "ccdtype"
+Group type. There are currently four grouping types:
+.ls ccdtype
+Group by CCD image type.
+.le
+.ls subset
+Group by subset parameter.
+.le
+.ls position
+Group by position in right ascension (in hours) and declination (in degrees).
+The groups are defined by a radius parameter (in arc seconds).
+.le
+.ls title
+Group by identical titles.
+.le
+.ls date
+Group by identical dates.
+.le
+.le
+.ls radius = 60.
+Grouping radius when grouping by positions. This is given in arc seconds.
+.le
+.ls ccdtype = ""
+CCD image types to select from the input image list. If null ("") then
+all image types are used.

+DESCRIPTION
+The input images, possible restricted to a particular CCD image type,
+are grouped into image lists. The "ccdtype" or "subset" groups
+produce output image lists with the given root name and the CCD type
+or subset as an extension (without a period). For the other group
+types the
+image lists have file names given by
+the root output name and a numeric extension (without a period).
+If the package parameter \fIccdred.verbose\fR is yes then the
+image name and output group list is printed for each image. The image lists can
+be used with the @ list feature for processing separate groups of observations.
+Note that grouping by CCD image type and subset is often not necessary since
+the \fBccdred\fR tasks automatically use this information (see
+\fBccdtypes\fR and \fBsubsets\fR).
+
+Besides CCD image type and subsets there are currently three ways to
+group images. These are by position in the sky, by title, and by
+date. Further groups may be added as suggested. The title grouping is
+useful if consistent titles are used when taking data. The date
+grouping is useful if multiple nights of observations are not organized
+by directories (it is recommended that data from separate nights be
+kept in separate directories). The position grouping finds
+observations within a given radius on the sky of the first member of
+the group (this is not a clustering algorithm). The right ascension
+and declination coordinates must be in standard units, hours and
+degrees respectively. The grouping radius is in arc seconds. This
+grouping type is useful for making sets of data in which separate
+calibration images are taken at each position.
+
+The date, title, and coordinates are accessed through the instrument
+translation file. The standard names used are "date-obs", "title", "ra",
+and "dec".
+.ih
+EXAMPLES
+1. For each object 5 exposures were taken to be combined in order to remove
+cosmic rays. If the titles are the same then (with ccdred.verbose=yes):
+
+.nf
+ cl> ccdgroups *.imh group group=title ccdtype=object
+ ccd005.imh --> group1
+ ccd006.imh --> group1
+ ccd007.imh --> group1
+ ccd008.imh --> group1
+ ccd009.imh --> group1
+ ccd012.imh --> group2
+ ccd013.imh --> group2
+ ccd014.imh --> group2
+ ccd015.imh --> group2
+ ccd016.imh --> group2
+ [... etc ...]
+ cl> combine @group1 obj1 proc+
+ cl> combine @group2 obj2 proc+
+ [... etc ...]
+.fi
+
+Note the numeric suffixes to the output root name "group".
+
+2. CCD observations were made in groups with a flat field, the object, and
+a comparison spectrum at each position. To group and process this data:
+
+.nf
+ cl> ccdgroups *.imh obs group=position >> logfile
+ cl> ccdproc @obs1
+ cl> ccdproc @obs2
+ cl> ccdproc @obs3
+.fi
+
+Since no flat field is specified for the parameter \fIccdproc.flat\fR
+the flat field is taken from the input image list.
+
+3. If for some reason you want to group by date and position it is possible
+to use two steps.
+
+.nf
+ cl> ccdgroups *.imh date group=date
+ cl> ccdgroups @data1 pos1
+ cl> ccdgroups @data2 pos2
+.fi
+
+4. To get groups by CCD image type:
+
+.nf
+ cl> ccdgroups *.imh "" group=ccdtype
+ ccd005.imh --> zero
+ ccd006.imh --> zero
+ ccd007.imh --> zero
+ ccd008.imh --> dark
+ ccd009.imh --> flat
+ ccd012.imh --> flat
+ ccd013.imh --> object
+ ccd014.imh --> object
+ ccd015.imh --> object
+ ccd016.imh --> object
+ [... etc ...]
+.fi
+
+Note the use of a null root name and the extension is the standard
+CCDRED types (not necessarily those used in the image header).
+
+5. To get groups by subset:
+
+.nf
+ cl> ccdgroups *.imh filt group=subset
+ ccd005.imh --> filt
+ ccd006.imh --> filtB
+ ccd007.imh --> filtB
+ ccd008.imh --> filtB
+ ccd009.imh --> filtV
+ ccd012.imh --> filtV
+ ccd013.imh --> filtV
+ ccd014.imh --> filtB
+ ccd015.imh --> filtB
+ ccd016.imh --> filtB
+ [... etc ...]
+.fi
