INTERACTIVE ISOPHOTE FITTING CURSOR OPTIONS ? help a define semi-major Axis length and position angle c Continue fitting in non-interactive mode, disable plotting d Discard current isophote, go to next f re-Fit and plot current isophote, do not write to file yet g Give up: discard current isophote, go inwards h continue fitting and plotting in non-interactive mode i go Inwards, fit next isophote m Mask square pixel area / region under cursor n write current isophote, fit and plot Next isophote o zoom Out (display fresh image, reset zoom) p Plot current isophote q Quit r Roam (re-display with centering) u Un-mask square pixel area / region under cursor x cursor position marks isophote center z Zoom in 2. INTERACTIVE ISOPHOTE FITTING COLON COMMANDS The algorithm parameters are listed or set with the following commands, which may be abbreviated. To list the current value of a parameter type the command alone. :show [file] Show current isophote parameters :maxit [value] Set/show maximum number of iterations :minit [value] Set/show minimum number of iterations :integrmode [value] Set/show the integration mode (bi-linear|mean|median) :minsma [value] Set/show the minimum semi-major axis length to fit :maxsma [value] Set/show the maximum semi-major axis length to fit :step [value] Set/show the semi-major axis grow/shrink step :linear [yes|no] Set/show if semi-major axis length grow/shrink linearly :maxrit [value] Set/show maximum semi-major axis for iterative fit :maxgerr [value] Set/show maximum acceptable gradient relative error :soft [yes|no] Set/show soft stop flag :cpar [value] Set/show convergency sensitivity parameter :sclip [value] Set/show sigma-clip criterion :nclip [value] Set/show number of clipping iterations :fflag [value] Set/show acceptable fraction of flagged sample points :hcenter [yes|no] Hold ellipse center fixed ? :hellip [yes|no] Hold ellipticity fixed ? :hpa [yes|no] Hold position angle fixed ? :x0 [value] Set/show current center X position :y0 [value] Set/show current center Y position :ellip [value] Set/show current ellipticity :pa [value] Set/show current position angle :mask [value] Set/show current pixel mask size :region [yes/no] Rectangular region or square mask ? :color [value] Set/show current graphics color :dispars parameters Set command-line parameters for display/contour tasks
