| − | Make a mask image from rectangular boxes
| |
| − | | |
| − | The mask image must be consistent with a particular visibility file and source
| |
| − | selection; hence the need to specify the imaging parameters and source
| |
| − | selection.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If the source image has already been made, then a mask image can be made by:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Load the image into the viewer
| |
| − | click on tools (top just left of center)
| |
| − | click on Region Manager
| |
| − | make rectangular and/or polygon areas as needed
| |
| − | save as region file
| |
| − | This region file can substitute as a mask in most application.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can also use taskname='clean' with interactive = T to make a mask when the
| |
| − | dirty image is produced.

| − | Keyword arguments:
| |
| − | cleanbox -- Cleaning region:
| |
| − | default: [] defaults to inner quarter of image
| |
| − | Two specification types:
| |
| − | Explicit pixel ranges
| |
| − | example: cleanbox=[[110,110,150,145],[180,70,190,80]]
| |
| − | cleans two regions defined by the pixel ranges
| |
| − | Filename with pixel values with ascii format:
| |
| − | <fieldid blc-x blc-y trc-x trc-y> on each line
| |
| − | ----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| − | vis -- Name of input visibility file
| |
| − | default: none; example: vis='ngc5921.ms'
| |
| − | imagename -- Name of output mask image
| |
| − | default: none; example: imagename='ngc5921.mask'
| |
| − | mode -- Type of selection
| |
| − | default: 'mfs'; example: mode='channel';
| |
| − | Options: 'mfs', channel'
| |
| − | nchan -- Number of channels to select
| |
| − | default: -1 (all); example: nchan=45
| |
| − | start -- Start channel
| |
| − | default=0; example: start=5
| |
| − | width -- Channel width (value > 1 indicates channel averaging)
| |
| − | default=1; example: width=5
| |
| − | step -- Step in channel number
| |
| − | default=1; example: step=2
| |
| − | imsize -- Image size in spatial pixels (x,y)
| |
| − | default = [256,256]; example: imsize=[512,512]
| |
| − | cell -- Cell size in arcseconds (x,y)
| |
| − | default=[0,0] = none; example: cell=[0.5,0.5]
| |
| − | phasecenter -- direction measure or fieldid for the mosaic center
| |
| − | default: '' (imply field=0 as center); example: phasecenter=6
| |
| − | or phasecenter='J2000 19h30m00 -40d00m00'
| |
| − | stokes -- Stokes parameters to image
| |
| − | default='I'; example: stokes='IQUV';
| |
| − | Options: 'I','IV','IQU','IQUV'
| |
| − | field -- Select field using field id(s) or field name(s).
| |
| − | [run listobs to obtain the list id's or names]
| |
| − | default: ''=all fields
| |
| − | If field string is a non-negative integer, it is assumed a field index
| |
| − | otherwise, it is assumed a field name
| |
| − | field='0~2'; field ids 0,1,2
| |
| − | field='0,4,5~7'; field ids 0,4,5,6,7
| |
| − | field='3C286,3C295'; field named 3C286 adn 3C295
| |
| − | field = '3,4C*'; field id 3, all names starting with 4C
| |
| − | spw -- Select spectral window/channels
| |
| − | default: ''=all spectral windows and channels
| |
| − | spw='0~2,4'; spectral windows 0,1,2,4 (all channels)
| |
| − | spw='<2'; spectral windows less than 2 (i.e. 0,1)
| |
| − | spw='0:5~61'; spw 0, channels 5 to 61
| |
| − | spw='0,10,3:3~45'; spw 0,10 all channels, spw 3, channels 3 to 45.

| − | spw='0~2:2~6'; spw 0,1,2 with channels 2 through 6 in each.
| |
| − | spw='0:0~10;15~60'; spectral window 0 with channels 0-10,15-60
| |
| − | spw='0:0~10,1:20~30,2:1;2;3'; spw 0, channels 0-10,
| |
| − | spw 1, channels 20-30, and spw 2, channels, 1,2 and 3
