QuickLook Main Routines ----------------------- This directory holds the bulk of the active routines in the CDS QL Display programs. Reading FITS files Reading FITS files into IDL for use with the QL routines is done with READCDSFITS (or READCALFITS for calibration files): IDL> a = readcdsfits('testdata.fits') In order to specify the directory, the routine CONCAT_DIR may be used, e.g.: IDL> a = readcdsfits(concat_dir('$CDS_NIS','testdata.fits')) Then I would suggest calling DSP_MENU,A to see what's available. Note that in DSPSPEC/DSPEXP you select the function of the mouse cursor by a pulldown menu. Calibration files should be read by READCALFITS instead of READCDSFITS. ================================================================ As of 21-Apr-95 contains the following routines: Directory: /sohos1/cds/soft/sci/data_anal/ql/ql_disp/ CDSLOG - Accumulate messages from other routines, option to save CDSNOTIFY - Display a message to the user. CMOUSE - Controlling the "Mouse button action" selection & display CMOUSE_ACTION - Translate a mouse click accorrding to the CMOUSE status CMTEST - Demonstration of CMOUSE CW_PSELECT - Simplified management of a pulldown selection menu DSP_INFO - Display basic information from a CDS QL Data Structure DSP_MENU - Selection of display modes for CDS QL data. DSPEXP - Display all exposures of selected Spectral Windows. DSPSPEC() - Displays all Spectral Windows from specific exposures. DSPWAV - Display data slices at specific wavelength +line profiles FITS_MENU - Executive menu for QL software GDSPSPEC - Displays all spectral windows from specific exposures. GET_QLDS() - Returns the QLDS that the display routine is working on. LOAD_RED - Load "Red Temperature" with a gamma effect. NDSPSPEC() - Displays all Spectral Windows from specific exposures.
