mode, baseline_group1, baseline_group2, ...
Select baselines to be displayed by specplot.

EXAMPLE
-------

1. To see what baselines are currently selected, omit all arguments.

   0>specbase
   Specplot will plot baselines of *
   0>    

2. To request that all baselines be plotted separately.

   0>specbase split,*
   Specplot will plot baselines of *
   0>

3. To request that all baselines be combined to construct a single
   spectrum:

   0>specbase group,*
   Specplot will plot baseline groups:
    *
   0>

3. Specify multiple groups of baselines to plot, each consisting of
   all baselines of a different telescope from sub-array 2.

   0>specbase group, 2:br, 2:fd, 2:hn, 2:kp
   Specplot baseline selections:
    2:BR
    2:FD
    2:HN
    2:KP
   0>

4. To request two spectra, one from all baselines of the BONN telescope
   except those of the OVRO telescope, and a second comprised from all
   baselines of the OVRO telescope except those of the BONN telescope:

   0>specbase group, bonn ! ovro, ovro !bonn
   Specplot will plot baseline groups:
    1:BONN ! 1:OVRO
    1:OVRO ! 1:BONN
   0>

5. To display one spectrum for each baseline of antenna AN2 from
   sub-array 2:

   0>specbase split, 2:an2
   Specplot will plot baselines of 2:AN2
   0>
   
ARGUMENTS
---------
mode                -   This tells specplot how to interpret the
                        baseline group arguments. It takes two values:

                         split  -  Split the first group into its
                                   component baselines and plot one
                                   spectrum per baseline.

                         group  -  Plot one spectrum per group of
                                   baselines.

baseline-group,...  -   One or more groups of baseline specifications.
                        Type 'help antenna_names' for legal baseline
                        specifications, and see below to determine how
                        to combine them.

To see the current selection, type the specbase command with no
arguments.

CONTEXT
-------
The specplot command plots scalar and vector averaged visibility
spectra. Visibilities are selected by polarization, time range, UV
radius range, and baseline selections. The specbase command is
responsible for supplying baseline selections, either as groups of
baselines or as single baselines taken from a single group.

Where more than one baseline selection is given, spectra can be
plotted for each of them separately. The 'specorder' command can be
used to direct when to change from one baseline selection to the
next while plotting spectra.

BASELINE GROUPS
--------------
Each argument of the 'specbase' command is a group of baseline
specifications, each specification describing one or more baselines to
be included or excluded. Each specification is preceded by either '+'
or '!'. Those preceded by '+' add to the group of baselines to be
averaged, whereas those preceded by '!' subtract from the group of
baselines established by earlier specifications. For example a group
consisting of:

 "ovro + bonn ! ovro-bonn"

means include all baselines of OVRO and all baselines of BONN except
baseline OVRO-BONN. Note that the order in which specifications are
listed is important. If the above were re-ordered to:

 "ovro ! ovro-bonn + bonn"

The !ovro-bonn component would have no effect because the +bonn
component would re-introduce the baseline that was just removed.

The first specification is implicitly preceded by '+' to make it
additive, however if the first specification is explicitly preceded by
'!' then this is interpretted as being equivalent to "* !". For
example:

 "!2"

means included all baselines of all sub-arrays except those of
sub-array 2.

Other examples are given in the EXAMPLE section at the beginning of
this help file.
