GQAPLOT (Aug93) ftools.asca GQAPLOT (Aug93) NAME gqaplot -- GIS quick analysis ftool. Read a GIS science fits file, and plot GIS image, pha spectrum, light curve, and pha-rise time diagram in a screen. Also, primary information on the science file is output to a text file (or screen). USAGE gqaplot infile outfile device PARAMETERS infile [string] ASCA GIS science file name or the file name in which GIS science file names are written each for one line. If the file name starts with '@', e.g. @file_list, the file file_list is opened and GIS science file names are read from this file. outfile [string] Output file name (STDOUT for the terminal output). (xname [RAWX, DETX, X]) Column name for the image X-axis. (yname [RAWY, DETY, Y]) Column name for the image Y-axis. (phname [PHA, PI]) Column name for the pulse height spectrum. (phalog [yes, no]) Draw the pulse height spectrum with log (yes) or linear (no) scale. (englog [yes, no]) Energy space for the spectrum log (yes) or linear (no) scale. If yes, the unit of the abscissa becomes energy, not channel. (rtname [RISE_TIME, RTI]) Column name of the Rise Time. (contour [yes, no]) Draw the contour map of the image (yes) or not (no). (imagelog [yes, no]) The scale of the contour log (yes) or linear (no). (gray [yes, no]) Draw the gray map of the image(yes) or not(no). (dotmap [yes, no]) Draw the dotmap of the image(yes) or not(no). device [string] PGPLOT device name (e.g., /xw for xwindow, /ps for post script, ? for inquiry). DESCRIPTION Plot GIS image, pha spectrum, light curve, pha-rise time diagram quickly. Remember, image and pha-rise time diagram are not available in the MPC mode. Important information on the science file is output to the output file. Contact Ken Ebisawa (NASA/GSFC) for detail. EXAMPLES Get Quick Plot of ft930320_1109_1109G206070M.fits: gqaplot ft930329_1109_1109G206070M.fits Get GIS science file names from file_list: gqaplot @file_list TIME REQUIREMENTS BUGS When using dotmap for image with /xw or /ps being the plot device, artificial grid structure may appear. It might be due to a bug in the pgplot. SEE ALSO
