ESO IToolA

Version history
Ver 0.9 / 07.11.2008


 
Fixed
#32 Fixed Start up crash
IToolA crashes when starting without fits file - it should just start up "empty".

"empty" start up: See #37
#33 Fixed Range of sliders
The range of the sliders should be restricted according to the currently chosen cut levels.

#34 Fixed "Reset image"-button
When pressing "reset image", both the wavelength range and the cut levels are reset.

Now only the wavelength range will change. The caption changed to "Default range"
#35 Fixed "Reset image"-button
When pressing "reset image", both the wavelength range and the cut levels are reset.

Now only the wavelength range will change. The caption changed to "Default range"
#38 Fixed y-axes flipped

Single slit window y-axes flipped to match axes of the slit select window.
#39 Fixed One image row short

Single slit window was one image row short. Also indexing was a bit wrong: note that in XV_ROI extension Y_START for slit 21 is 1, not 0 (unlike column 'position' in the original slit_location_mxu.fits).
 

New Features
#40 Image info
Image information box in the slit select window.
#41 File name in title/caption
 

Open
#12 Open Position/Residual view

Is this really needed?
#16 Open Removed lines marks
it should be possible to remove lines both from the residuals plot and the spectrum

Check this item after fitting procedure has been implemented.
#22 Open Labeling 2
Some more labeling to explain everything would be useful. For example, on the slit fitting panel, explain the red triangles, green lines, etc.
#31 Open Fit-button
Start the fitting procedure.
#36 Open FPAR1 and FPAR2
FPAR1 and FPAR2 on the parameter pop-up should be given human readable names.

Those names are coming from the new format fits file. Human readable names should be in the file also.
#37 Open "Load file" -button
There should be a "load" button to load a fits file.

This is more complex:
What should happen to windows which are open already (selected slits)?
What does the load mean when the IToolA was started by Reflex? What are those output files?
