.help revisions Jun88 noao.nproto .nf ace/t_acedisplay.x The alogr() was being called without an errfcn (7/12/09, MJF) skysep.cl Added an 'enum' to the 'raunit' param to enforce choices (1/12/09, MJF) doc/skysep.hlp Fixed a typo. (1/12/09, MJF) skygroup.cl + skysep.cl + doc/skygroup.hlp + doc/skysep.hlp + nproto.cl nproto.men nproto.hd Added two new script tasks. (2/10/06, Valdes) ace/catio.x An extra argument to tbhgtr() was found by lint. (5/24/04, Valdes) ======= V2.12.2 ======= findgain.cl findthresh.cl Modified to eliminate goto statements (12/28/03, MJF) mkms.cl + doc/mkms.hlp + nproto.cl nproto.hd nproto.men Added a prototype script task to create a multispec format image from 1D spectra including the associated arrays. (1/7/03, Valdes) ace/skyfit.x If a complete line is exceptionally deviant from the true sky it will bias the sky surface. As a quick fix for the possibly common case that the first or last lines are high due to charge transfer effects, the lines to use was changed to start and end a half step from the ends. This is only a quick fix and a more sophisticated solutions is needed. (10/17/02, Valdes) ace/skyblock.x There was another bug in interp2. (10/17/02, Valdes) ace/skyblock.x There was a bug in interp2. (9/30/02, Valdes) ace/convolve.x Fixed error when reference image does not overlap target image on the right. (9/23/02, Valdes) ace/detect.x The flux comparison in difference detection used sigma normalized fluxes. This was changed to unnormalized fluxes which is done by using the same sigmas for the target and reference images. (9/23/02, Valdes) ace/t_acedetect.x ace/pars.x ace/diffdetect.pars Made changes for diffdetect. (9/23/02, Valdes) ace/t_acedetect.x Switched over to the xtools version of xt_pmmap. (9/10/02, Valdes) ace/t_acedetect.x ace/skyblock.x ace/omwrite.x If DATASEC is present then it is automatically applied to the image. It is also deleted from the output sky and mask since they will be the size of the data section. (9/10/02, Valdes) ace/skyfit.x The sigma is fit by a constant to avoid potential negative sigmas. (8/6/02, Valdes) ace/skyfit.x The sigma is fit by a constant to avoid potential negative sigmas. (8/6/02, Valdes) ======= V2.12.1 ======= ace/skyfit.x ace/skyblock.x Fixed a type mismatch in a min() function. (6/13/02, Valdes) ===== ===== V2.12 ===== noao$nproto/ace/xtmaskname.x Added check for optional environment variable "masktype" to force pl files if the value is "pl". (3/1/02, Valdes) noao$nproto/ace/xtpmmap.x Needed to add a new error code to catch. (2/27/02, Valdes) noao$nproto/ace + noao$nproto/x_nproto.x noao$nproto/mkpkg noao$nproto/nproto.cl noao$nproto/nproto.men noao$nproto/nproto.hd Added a prototype version of ACE with the only task being OBJMASKS. (1/25/02, Valdes) noao$nproto/nproto.cl noao$nproto/nproto.men noao$nproto/nproto.hd Removed FINDGAIN since a new version is in OBSUTIL. The source and help are still in the directory for now. (11/14/01, Valdes) noao$nproto/t_irmosaic.x Modified the irmosaic task to avoid a potential divide by zero error in the range decoding software. This error was actually due to an interface change to the xtools$ranges.x code, which has since been changed back, but the potential for error was there. (8/22/97, Davis) noao$nproto/linpol Added the PROTO package task LINPOL to NPROTO. (1/31/92, Davis) noao$nproto/ndprep.cl --> onedspec$ noao$nproto/ndprep.hlp --> onedspec$ noao$nproto/nproto.cl noao$nproto/nproto.hd noao$nproto/nproto.men Moved the NDPREP task to ONEDSPEC. (1/31/92, Valdes) noao$nproto/findgain, findthresh 1. The findgain and findthresh tasks in the kpno local package were added to the nproto package. (1/31/92, Davis) noao$nproto/ 1. The proto directory was renamed to nproto and all reference to proto were replaced by nproto. 2. The IMEDIT, IMEXAMINE, and TVMARK tasks from NOAO.PROTO have been moved to the IMAGES.TV package. 3. The IMTITLE, MKHISTOGRAM, and RADPLT tasks in NOAO.PROTO have been moved to the OBSOLETE package. They are superseded by the HEDIT, PHISTOGRAM, and PRADPROF tasks respectively. 4. The BINFIL, BSCALE, EPIX, FIELDS, FIXPIX, IMALIGN, IMCENTROID, IMCNTR, IMFUNCTION, IMREPLACE, IMSCALE, INTERP, IRAFIL, and JOIN tasks were moved to the new core package PROTO. (1/23/92, Davis Valdes) ====================== Package reorganization ====================== proto$imexamine/ievimexam.x Corrected an error in the column limits computation in the routine ie_get_vector that caused occasional glitches in vectors plotted using the 'v' key. This bug may also explain occasional unrepeatable bus errors which occurred after using the 'v' key. (12/11/91, Davis) proto$imedit/epcolon.x Two calls to pargr changed to pargi. (11/13/91, Valdes) proto$tvmark/t_tvmark.x proto$tvmark/mkcolon.x Removed extra argument to mk_sets() calls. (11/13/91, Davis) proto$tvmark/mkppars.x Changed two clputi calls to clputb calls. (11/13/91, Davis) proto$t_fixpix.x proto$doc/t_fixpix.x Made the order of lower/upper columns/lines unimportant by internally transposing the endpoints if not in increasing order. (10/31/91, Valdes) proto$imfuncs.gx proto$imfuncs.x The reference to the E macro in math.h was replaced with a reference to the new macro BASE_E. (9/17/91 LED) proto$jimexam.par proto$proto.cl proto$mkpkg proto$imexamine/iejimexam.x proto$imexamine/iecolon.x proto$imexamine/t_imexam.x proto$imexamine/iegcur.x proto$imexamine/mkpkg proto$doc/imexamine.hlp noao$lib/scr/imexamine.key Added new options for fitting 1D gaussians to lines and columns. (9/2/91, Valdes) proto$imfunction.par proto$imfunction.x proto$imfuncs.gx proto$imfuncs.x proto$doc/imfunction.hlp A new version of the imfunction task was installed. This new version supports many more functions as well the double precision images. (8/29/91 LED) proto$bscale.par proto$t_bscale.x proto$mkpkg proto$doc/bscale.hlp Installed a new version of the bscale task. The new task takes a list of input images and produces a list of output images like most other images tasks. The input images are overwritten if the output list equals the input list, and the noact parameter was removed since it is no longer required. Two new parameters upper and lower can be used to remove outliers from the statistics computation. The logfile parameter was removed and replaced with the verbose parameter. Finally the code was modified to only use the step parameter for sampling along a particular axis, if no reference is made to that axis in the section parameter. (8/26/91 LED) proto$fixline.gx The call to awsud had an argument type mismatch. (8/13/91, Valdes & Jacoby) proto$imexamine/iemw.x + proto$imexamine/iecimexam.x proto$imexamine/iecolon.x proto$imexamine/iegimage.x proto$imexamine/ielimexam.x proto$imexamine/iepos.x proto$imexamine/ierimexam.x proto$imexamine/imexam.h proto$imexamine/mkpkg proto$imexamine/t_imexam.x proto$imexamine.par proto$doc/imexamine.hlp Modified IMEXAMINE to use WCS information in axis labels and coordinate readback. (8/13/91, Valdes) proto$tvmark/mkonemark.x Moved the two salloc routines to the top of the mk_onemark routine where they cannot be called more than once. (7/22/91, Davis) proto$tvmark.par Modified the description of the pointsize parameter. (7/17/91, Davis) proto$imfit1d.par,linefit.par Removed these defunct .par files from the PROTO package. (10/25/90, Davis) proto$t_imreplace.x Added support for pixel type USHORT to the IMREPLACE task. (10/25/90, Davis) proto$imexamine/iesimexam.x Add code for checking and warning if data is all constant, all above the specified ceiling, or all below the specified floor when making surface plots. (10/3/90, Valdes) proto$imedit/epmask.x Added some protective changes so that if a radius of zero with a circular aperture is used then round off will be less likely to cause missing the pixel. (9/23/90, Valdes) proto$tvmark/tvmark.key proto$tvmark/mkmark.x proto$tvmark/doc/tvmark.hlp At user request changed the 'd' keystroke command which marks an object with a dot to the '.' and the 'u' keystroke command which deletes a point to 'd'. (9/14/90 Davis) proto$mkpkg proto$proto.cl proto$proto.hd proto$proto.men proto$x_proto.x proto$toonedspec.x - proto$toonedspec.par - proto$doc/toonedspec.hlp - Removed TOONEDSPEC. It's replacement is ONEDSPEC.SCOPY. (8/23/90, Valdes) ==== V2.9 ==== noao$proto Davis, June 20, 1990 The prototype tasks IMSLICE and IMSTACK were removed from the PROTO package. Their functionality is duplicated by tasks of the same name in the IMAGES package. noao$proto/imedit/epgcur.x Valdes, June 6, 1990 The fixpix format input was selecting interpolation across the longer dimension instead of the shorter. This meant that complete columns or lines did not work at all. noao$proto/t_fixpix.x Davis, May 29, 1990 Modified fixpix so that it would work on unsigned short images. ==== V2.8 ==== noao$proto/ Davis, April 6, 1990 Two new tasks IMALIGN and IMCENTROID written by Rob Seaman were added to the proto package. IMCENTROID computes a set of relative shifts required to register a set of images. IMALIGN both computes the shifts and aligns the images. noao$proto/imexamine/t_imexam.x Valdes, Mar 29, 1990 Even when use_display=no the task was trying to check the image display for the name. This was fixed by adding a check for this flag in the relevant if statement. noao$proto/imexamine/ievimexam.x Valdes, Mar 22, 1990 The pset was being closed without indicating this in the data structure. The clcpset statement was removed. noao$proto/imedit/epgcur.x Valdes, Mar 15, 1990 The EOF condition was being screwed up for two keystroke commands leading to a possible infinite loop when using a cursor file input. The fix is to change the "nitems=nitems+clgcur" incrementing to simply "nitems=clgcur". noao$proto/imedit/epbackground.x noao$proto/imedit/epgcur.x Valdes, Mar 9, 1990 1. The surfit pointer was incorrectly declared as real in ep_bg causing the 'b' key to do nothing. This appears to be SPARC dependent. 2. Fixed some more problems with cursor strings having missing coordinates causing floating overflow errors. noao$proto/iralign.par,ir/t_iralign.x Davis, Feb 27, 1990 Changed the iralign parameter align to alignment for consistency with the other tasks. noao$proto/imexamine/iecolon.x Valdes, Feb 16, 1990 Fixed a mistake in the the datatype of a parg call. noao$proto/ir/ Davis, Feb 16, 1990 Added a feature to the iralign code that permits the user to rerun the iralign, irmatch1d, and irmatch2d using the first runs output as input. This permits the user to fine tune the intensity adjustments and shifts. noao$proto/proto.cl noao$proto/proto.men noao$proto/mkpkg noao$proto/x_proto.x noao$proto/t_join.x + noao$proto/join.par + noao$proto/join.cl - noao$proto/doc/join.hlp Valdes, Feb 13, 1990 Added compiled version of the join task and updated the documentation. Note that the parameters are now different. noao$proto/imedit.par noao$proto/imedit/epcolon.x noao$proto/imedit/epmask.x Valdes, Jan 17, 1990 1. Fixed typo in prompt string for y background order. 2. Wrong datatype in clput for order parameters resulting in setting the user parameter file value to 0. 3. Bug fix in epmask. The following is the correct line: line 130: call amovi (Memi[line], Memi[ptr2+i*EP_NX(ep)], EP_NX(ep)) noao$proto/imedit/epdisplay.x Valdes, Jan 7, 1990 Added initialization to the zoom state. Without the intialization starting IMEDIT without display and then turning display on followed by a 'r' would cause an error (very obscure but found in a demo). noao$proto/tvmark/t_tvmark.x noao$proto/tvmark/mkmark.x noao$proto/tvmark/tvmark.key noao$proto/doc/tvmark.hlp Valdes, Jan 4, 1990 Added filled rectangle command 'f'. noao$proto/tvmark/t_tvmark.x noao$proto/tvmark/mktools.x noao$proto/tvmark/mkshow.x noao$proto/tvmark/mkcolon.x noao$proto/tvmark/mkfind.x noao$proto/tvmark/mkremove.x Davis, Dec 12, 1989 1. Tvmark has been modified to permit deletion as well as addition of objects to the coordinate file. Objects to be deleted are marked with the cursor and must be within a given tolerance of an object in the coordinate list to be deleted. 2. The help screen no longer comes up in the text window when the task is invoked for the sake of uniformity with all other IRAF tasks. 3. The coordinate file is opened read_only in batch mode. In interactive mode a warning message is issued if the user tries to append or delete objects from a file which does not have write permission and no action is taken. noao$proto/imexamine/t_imexam.x noao$proto/imexamine/iegimage.x Valdes, Nov 30, 1989 The default display frame when not using an input list was changed from 0 to 1. noao$proto/ir/ Davis, Nov 28, 1989 New versions of the proto tasks IRMOSAIC, IRALIGN, IRMATCH1D and IRMATCH2D have been installed in the PROTO package. The routine have been modularised and now share code in preparation for a future database approach to the registration problem. The image i/o has been optimized so that all the tasks, but IRMOSAIC in particular, will run much faster. A bug in the alignment code in which errors of alignment of up to 0.5 pixels can occur has been fixed. There is now an option to trim each section before insertion into the output image. Finally the actions taken by the task can optionally be printed on the terminal. noao$proto/imeidt/epgcur.x Valdes, Oct 30, 1989 1. There was no check against INDEF cursor coordinates. Such coordinates will occur when reading a previous logfile output and cursor input where the shorthand ":command" is used. The actual error occured when attempting to add 0.5 to INDEF. noao$proto/imedit/epstatistics.x noao$proto/imedit/epmove.x noao$proto/imedit/epgsfit.x noao$proto/imedit/epnoise.x noao$proto/imedit/epbackground.x noao$proto/imedit/t_imedit.x Valdes, Aug 17, 1989 1. Added errchk to main cursor loop to try and prevent loss of the user's changes if an error occurs. 2. If no background points are found an error message is now printed instead of aborting. noao$proto/tvmark/mkbmark.x Davis, Aug 4, 1989 Modified tvmark so that drawing to the frame buffer is more efficient in batch mode. This involved removing a number of imflush calls which were unnecessarily flushing the output buffer to disk and recoding the basic routines which draw concentric circles and rectangles. noao$proto/imreplace.par Valdes, July 20, 1989 Changed mode of imaginary component value to hidden. =========== Version 2.8 =========== noao$proto/imexamine/* + noao$proto/imexamine.par + noao$proto/?imexam.par + noao$proto/doc/imexamine.hlp + noao$proto/proto.cl noao$proto/proto.men noao$proto/proto.hd noao$proto/x_proto.x noao$proto/mkpkg noao$lib/scr/imexamine.key Valdes, June 13, 1989 New task IMEXAMINE added to the proto package. noao$proto/tvmark/ Davis, June 6, 1989 Fixed a bug in tvmark wherein circles were not being drawn if they were partially off the image in the x dimension. noao$proto/tvmark/ Davis, June1, 1989 A labeling capability has been added to tvmark. If the label parameter is turned on tvmark will label objects with the string in the third column of the coordinate file. noao$proto/tvmark/ Davis, May 25, 1989 The problem reported by phil wherein TVMARK would go into an infinite loop if it encountered a blank line has been fixed. noao$proto/t_imreplace.x noao$proto/imrep.gx noao$proto/imreplace.par noao$proto/doc/imreplace.hlp Valdes, May 23, 1989 Complex images are supported with the thresholds being the magnitude of the complex values and the replacement value specified as real and imaginary. noao$proto/tvmark Davis, May 22, 1989 The new task TVMARK was added to the proto package. noao$proto/imedit/ Davis, May 22, 1989 The new task IMEDIT was added to the proto package. noao$proto/t_binfil.x Rooke, Apr 28, 1989 After allocating temporary storage for header bytes in IRAFIL, the code was then reading those bytes instead into pixel storage, resulting in a segmentation violation if header > row of pixels (found by Jim Klavetter). noao$proto/epix/epgdata.x Valdes, Mar 20, 1989 Limit checking on the requested data region was wrong. User would get out of bounds message if the line desired was greater than the number of columns. noao$proto/t_bscale.x Davis, Feb 7, 1989 Fixed a memory corruption error in bscale. If a user specified a section using the section parameter, the task was overflowing the data array by trying to read beyond the boundary of the section. Fixed a floating divide by zero problem in the computation of step sizes when a specified section was only one pixel wide in a given dimension. noao$proto/ Davis, Jan 26, 1989 A "pixel out of bounds" error was fixed in the task IRMATCH2D. This would occur if nxsub != nysub and for certain combination of corner and order. This bug has been fixed. noao$proto/ Davis, Nov 8, 1988 The two prototype image intensity matching tasks IRMATCH1D and IRMATCH2D have been added to the proto package. See the help pages for further details. noao$proto/t_irmosaic.x Davis, Jul 23, 1988 The number of columns and rows between adjacent subrasters in the output image produced by IRMOSAIC was incorrect if nxoverlap or nyoverlap were less than -1. noao$proto/t_imslice.x Davis, Jul 8, 1988 A new task imslice has been added to the proto package. IMSLICE reduces an n-dimensional image to a list of (n-1)-dimensional images. noao$proto/mkpkg noao$proto/imfunction.x noao$proto/imfuncs.gx + noao$proto/imdex.gx - noao$proto/imlog.gx - noao$proto/imsqr.gx - Valdes, Apr 8, 1988 Added the absolute value function. Combined the different functions into one procedure. noao$proto/t_mkhistogram.x Davis, Feb 5, 1988 A new task mkhistogram has been added to the proto package. Mkhistogram will task a stream of data and list or plot the histogram of the data. noao$proto/t_irmosaic.x Davis, Feb 3, 1988 1. A new parameter "subtract" has been added to the IRMOSAIC task. If the "median" parameter is yes then IRMOSAIC will subtract the median from each subraster before adding it to the output image mosaic. noao$proto Davis, Dec 8, 1987 1. Two new tasks IRMOSAIC and IRALIGN have been added to the PROTO package. IRMOSAIC takes an ordered list of input images and places them on a grid in an output image. Options exist to order the input list by row, column or in a raster pattern starting at any of the four corners of the output image. Adjacent subrasters may be overlapped or separated by a specified number of columns and rows. Positions of objects which occur in adjacent subrasters can be marked using for example the sun imtool facility and centered using the APPHOT center routine. IRALIGN takes the mosaiced image and the coordinate list and produces an output image where all the individual subrasters have been aligned with respect to some reference subraster. These two tasks are most useful for images which already lie approximately on a grid. noao$proto/t_bscale.x + noao$proto/bscale.par + noao$proto/doc/bscale.hlp + Valdes, October 7, 1988 A new task to compute to scale images by a zero point and scale factor has been added. The zero point and scale factor can be chosen as the mean, median, or mode of the images. noao$proto/doc/replicate.hlp - Valdes, June 4, 1987 1. Deleted this obsolete file. noao$proto/toonedspec.x noao$proto/doc/toonedspec.hlp Valdes, April 27, 1987 1. The output spectra are now of type real regardless of the input pixel type. This change was made to avoid fix point exceptions on AOS/VS IRAF when summing enough lines to overflow the input pixel type. On the other IRAF systems integer overflows only cause erroneous output but no error. noao$proto/fixline.gx Valdes, April 27, 1987 1. The interpolation weights when interpolating across lines were being truncated and producing approximately correct values but not correct interpolation. The weights are now not truncated. noao$proto/join.cl Hammond, March 10, 1987 1. Added script task JOIN, which joins two lists line by line. noao$proto/t_imstack.x Valdes, March 3, 1987 1. The input images being stacked were not being closed after they were added to the output image. noao$proto/imrep.gx Valdes, February 5, 1987 1. There was a problem in AOS iraf because of an attempt to convert a real INDEF to a short value. The routine was modified to attempt the conversion only if the value is not INDEF. noao$proto/t_imstack.x noao$proto/doc/imstack.hlp Valdes, October 8, 1986 1. Modified IMSTACK to use image templates instead of file templates. All image tasks should use the image template package for consistency. 2. Modified the help page. One of the examples was incorrect. noao$proto/imfunction.x Valdes, October 8, 1986 1. Doug Tody added the square root function. I don't know the details of the revision. noao$proto/imfunction.x noao$proto/imfunction.par noao$proto/imlog.gx noao$proto/imdex.gx + noao$proto/funcs.x - noao$proto/doc/imfunction.hlp Valdes, September 9, 1986 1. Added the "dex" function which is the inverse of the existing "log" function. 2. The help page was revised. proto$toonedspec: Valdes, June 16, 1986 1. Added new task TOONEDSPEC to convert columns or lines of 2D spectra to 1D spectra. A manual page was also added. This is a prototype. The task or it's function will eventually move to the TWODSPEC package. ====================== Package reorganization ====================== local$dsttoiraf: Valdes, April 7, 1986 1. The task resides now on NOAO/VMS SKD:[LOCAL.DAOP] local$t_imstack.x: Valdes, April 6, 1986 local$doc/imstack.hlp: Valdes, April 6, 1986 1. Removed warning message about mixed datatypes in IMSTACK. 2. Updated help page for IMSTACK. local$dsttoiraf: Valdes, April 3, 1986 1. Added NOAO foreign task to convert DST (DAO) format images to IRAF images. This task is only available on the NOAO/VMS cluster. Attempting to run this on any other system will fail. local$irafil: Valdes, April 3, 1986 1. George Jacoby added the task IRAFIL to convert integer byte pixel data to an IRAF image. It is an attempt to have a general dataio conversion for foreign format images. =========== Release 2.2 =========== From Valdes Jan. 24, 1986: 1. Removed NOTES tasks which was not useful. ------ August 6, 1985: 1. Imfunction modified to produce only real datatype output images. 2. Revisions script added. .endhelp
