FIB2CUBE--Convert Fibre Data to ``Cube''

This converts calibrated long-slit spectra from a fibre array into a 3-d data cube for use by FIBDISP. Data from separate slits should be in different files, prompted for as IMAGE1, IMAGE2, etc. CUBE is the output file. FILE is a file listing the X, Y positions of each fibre in the output array (default type .DAT), probably produced by ENCODE. Note that, although CSCAN can produce plots from a file produced by FIB2CUBE for types ``HEX'' and ``RECT'', these are only correct for type ``RECT''. FIB2CUBE create files with all the structures required by FIBDISP. The emission line is delimited using the same code as used in LONGSLIT. The code only allows for one spectral line per file.

IMAGE1

(file) Input image 1

IMAGE2

(file) Input image 2

IMAGE3

(file) Input image 3

IMAGE4

(file) Input image 4

IMAGE5

(file) Input image 5

CUBE

(file) Output data cube

FILE

(char) Name of file with coordinates for output cube This file must contain the two spatial dimensions of the output cube followed by the number of input images in the first record. After that the X, Y coordinates of the input spectra (a cross-section at a time, starting at 1) in the output cube. After that the contents of the X displacement array (if any). Comments lines start with an exclamation mark.

MAXGAUSS

(int) Maximum number of Gaussians that can be fitted to a profile.
