The ephemeris data +is used to estimate the radius of the image and the center of the +disk is gotten from the image header. Using this data, an image is +made that is as close to 18 centimeters in diameter as possible. +There are two greyscale lookup tables corresponding to the two types +of image normally used, the magnetogram and the spectroheliogram. +If the wavelength is something other than 8688 or 10830, a linear +greyscale is used. + +The National Solar Observatory (tentative) logo is read from an encoded +text file and put on the plot if requested (default). +.ih +EXAMPLES + +.nf + vt> syndico image1 +.fi + +.ih +SEE ALSO +.endhelp |
