UTILITY tasks
The following tasks belong to the category UTILITY:
``General utilities''
In parentheses the name of the source file is given.
- CALC
- Calculate expressions (using variables) and exercise GIPSY
input syntax
(calc.c)
- CBLANK
- Converts datavalues to BLANK and vice versa. CBLANK
also checks whether the data are legal (i.e. it checks
for NaN's etc. and replaces them by BLANKS).
(cblank.shl)
- CODER
- Create C-code for simple programs
(coder.c)
- COLA
- Control language for use with Hermes.
(cola.c)
- CREATE
- Creates a SET (and subsets)
(create.shl)
- CURSOR
- Write positions (GRIDS and PHYSICAL coordinates), pointed
with an interactive graphics cursor in a GIDS overlay, to
screen or ASCII file. Write also (interpolated) image
values.
(cursor.c)
- DELETE
- Delete sets
(delete.c)
- DISK
- DISK lists the contents of the current directory and
lists some properties of GIPSY sets.
(disk.c)
- DSSLOAD
- Loads a Digitized Sky Survey FITS file into a GIPSY set.
(dssload.c)
- EXTEND
- Copy set and extend new set with one or more axes.
Change size of set.
(extend.c)
- EXTRACT-QRC
- Program to extract resources from a QT resource file.
This tool is useful to developpers only
(qrc.src)
- FIT
- Fit a set of data points (Xi,Yi) to a model, that depends
nonlinearly on its parameters, using a Chi-squared
minimization.
(fit.c)
- FITSREAD
- Load FITS images from file or URL into a GIPSY set.
(fitsread.src)
- FIXHED
- Add, change, delete or list item(s) in set header
(fixhed.c)
- FUNPLOT
- Interactive function plotting utility.
(funplot.src)
- GDS2TEXT
- Put GDS image data in ASCII file and vv. Use a format
for the numbers. Add (physical coordinates) to the data
if in 'export' mode.
(gds2text.c)
- GETVAL
- Get image values at given positions in a set
(getval.c)
- HEADER
- Display header information
(header.c)
- HELP
- Display purpose lines or categories or complete
documentation of tasks (subroutines and general
items). Data can be directed to printer also.
(help.c)
- HISTORY

(inidisplay.c)
- lfits
- List FITS files on a tape
(lfits.c)
- MINBOX
- MINBOX calculates the smallest box in a (sub)set,
outside which only blanks exist and creates an output
set with the calculated box size. It stores the box
in physical coordinates in the header of the set.
(minbox.c)
- MPEG
- Record a series of window snapshots and combine these
in an MPEG movie.
(mpeg.src)
- MTCOPY

tape device. Tape device can be a real tape unit or a
directory on disk.

- MTLIST
- Lists files on a tape device.
(mtlist.c)
- NEWS
- Displays the GIPSY news items.
(news.c)
- PLAYER
- PLAYER allows the user to execute a simple script containing
keyword changes, or 'events' for an other task. In this way
it appears as if PLAYER pushes the other task's buttons, etc.
(player.src)
- PLOTSYM
- Plot PGPLOT's marker- and Hershey symbols
(plotsym.c)
- pplot.c
- Plot the intensity along a line through a set.
(pplot.c)

- RECOVER
- Recover a corrupt GDS set
(recover.f)
- REGRID

(regrid.c)
- RENAME
- Renames a GDS set.
(rename.c)

contours per level for different subsets. The contours
can be plotted on a set displayed in GIDS.
