MAKEPROFILES(1) User Commands MAKEPROFILES(1) NAME MakeProfiles - make standard 2D profiles on an image SYNOPSIS astmkprof [OPTION...] [Options] [Catalog] DESCRIPTION MakeProfiles is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.24. MakeProfiles will create a FITS image containing any number of mock astronomical profiles based on an input catalog. All the profiles will be built from the center outwards. First by Monte Carlo integration, then using the central pixel position. The tolerance level specifies when the switch will occur. For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particu- lar the second contains a very comprehensive explanation of MakeProfiles's invocation: expected input(s), output(s), and a full description of all the options. All options and their values: $ astmkprof -P Inputs/Outputs and options: $ info astmkprof Full section in manual/book: $ info MakeProfiles Full Gnuastro manual/book: $ info gnuastro If you couldn't find your answer in the manual, you can get direct help from experienced Gnuastro users and developers. For more information, please run: $ info help-gnuastro MakeProfiles options: Input: -B, --backhdu=INT/STR HDU of background image. --customimg=FITS Image file for 'custom-img' profile. --customimghdu=INT/STR HDU of image given to '--customimg'. --customtable=FITS/TXT File for 'custom-prof' profile. --customtablehdu=INT/STR HDU of table given to '--customtable'. -C, --clearcanvas All pixels in background image read as zero. -E, --kernel=STR Parameters to only build one kernel. -h, --hdu=STR/INT Input catalog HDU name or number (if FITS). -I, --ignorecase Ignore case in matching/searching columns. -k, --background=FITS A background image to make the profiles on. --searchin=STR Select column(s): 'name', 'unit', 'comment'. --stdintimeout=INT Micro-seconds to wait for standard input. Output: -D, --dontdelete Don't delete output if it exists. -i, --individual Build all profiles separately. -K, --keepinputdir Keep input directory for automatic output. -m, --nomerged Do not create a merged image of all profiles. --outfitsnocommit No Git commit in 0-th HDU of output FITS. --outfitsnoconfig No metadata in 0-th HDU of output FITS. --outfitsnodate No 'DATE' in 0-th HDU of output FITS. --outfitsnoversions No versions in 0-th HDU of output FITS. -o, --output=STR Output file name. --psfinimg PSF profiles made with all in output image. -s, --oversample=INT Scale of oversampling (>0 and odd). -T, --type=STR Type of output: e.g., int16, float32, etc... --wcslinearmatrix=STR WCS linear matrix of output ('pc' or 'cd'). -x, --mergedsize=INT[,INT,...] Merged image size along each dimension. Profiles: -c, --prepforconv Shift and expand based on first catalog PSF. -e, --envseed Use GSL_RNG_SEED environment variable for seed. -f, --mforflatpix mcol is flat pixel value (when fcol is 5 or 6) --magatpeak Magnitude is for peak pixel, not full profile. --mcolissum mcol is total sum, not magnitude. --mcolnocustimg Ignore value of mcol in 'custom-img'. --mcolnocustprof Ignore value of mcol in 'custom-prof'. --mode=STR Mode of '--ccol': 'img' or 'wcs'. -p, --tunitinp Truncation is in units of pixels, not radius. -r, --numrandom=INT No. of random points in Monte Carlo integ. -R, --replace Replace overlapping profile pixels, don't add. -t, --tolerance=FLT Tolerance to switch to less accurate method. -w, --circumwidth=FLT Width of circumference (inward) profiles -X, --shift=INT[, ...] Shift profile centers in output image. -z, --zeropoint=FLT Magnitude zero point. Columns, by info (see '--searchin'), or number (starting from 1): --ccol=STR/INT Coordinate columns (one call for each dim.). --fcol=STR/INT sersic (1), moffat (2), gaussian (3), point (4), flat (5), circum- ference (6), distance (7), custom-prof (8), azimuth (9), custom-img (10). --mcol=STR/INT Magnitude. --ncol=STR/INT Sersic index or Moffat beta. --p2col=STR/INT Second Euler angle (X-Z-X order). --p3col=STR/INT Third Euler angle (X-Z-X order). --pcol=STR/INT Position angle (3D: first X-Z-X Euler angle). --q2col=STR/INT Axis ratio (major/dim3 in 3D). --qcol=STR/INT Axis ratio (major/dim2 in 3D). --rcol=STR/INT Effective radius or FWHM in pixels. --tcol=STR/INT Truncation in units of --rcol. WCS parameters: --cdelt=FLT[, ...] Resolution in each dimension. --crpix=FLT[, ...] Pixel coordinates of reference point. --crval=FLT[, ...] WCS coordinates of reference point. --ctype=STR[, ... ] One of FITS standard WCS types. --cunit=STR[, ... ] Units of the WCS coordinates (e.g., 'deg'). --pc=FLT[, ...] WCS rotation matrix (all elements). Operating modes: -?, --help give this help list --checkconfig List all config files and variables read. --cite BibTeX citation for this program. --config=STR Read configuration file STR immediately. --config-prefix=STR Custom prefix of option names config files. --lastconfig Do not parse any more configuration files. --log Information about output(s) in a log file. --minmapsize=INT Min. bytes to avoid RAM automatically. -N, --numthreads=INT Number of CPU threads to use. --onlyversion=STR Only run if the program version is STR. -P, --printparams Print parameter values to be used and abort. --quietmmap Don't print mmap'd file's name and size. -q, --quiet Only report errors, remain quiet about steps. -S, --setdirconf Set default values for this directory and abort. --usage give a short usage message -U, --setusrconf Set default values for this user and abort. -V, --version print program version Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or op- tional for any corresponding short options.
