In interactive mode, the user can graphically view the results of the mean calculation. There are two views available. The default view covers just the region of the spectrum that is averaged together. The mean is indicated by a solid line drawn across the graph. The standard deviation is indicated by the vertical error bar around the mean in the center of the graph. If points in this region have been rejected, those points are indicated by small crosses on those points. The second view, invoked by the 'f' command, is the "full" view. Here, the whole spectrum is displayed. Again, the mean and standard deviation are indicated as above. Also, a horizontal error bar, towards the bottom of the graph, indicates the region that is included in the average. No rejected pixels are indicated in this view. The following single key stroke commands are available: : See below ? The help file for the interactive mode of centerflux. I Discontinue interactive mode. The result for the current spectrum is used. If there are any more spectra to be processed, they will be calculated, using whatever modifications were made to the parameters up to this point. There is no way of getting back to interactive mode once left in this manner. c Redefine the center of the pixel region to be averaged to where the graphics cursor is located. Also see the "center" colon command below. f Toggle between the "full" view of the spectrum and the "restricted" view of just the region that is averaged. p Redefine the region over which is averaged. Two define a new region, move the graphics cursor to wherever the region should begin and hit 'p'. To define the end of the region, move the cursor to where the region should end and hit 'p' again. See also the "start" and "end" colon commands below. q Indicate that the current result is fine and continue on to the next spectrum. r Redraw the graph. w Toggle between wavelength and pixel coordinates. By default, the x-axis is plotted using the wavelength information from the wavelength file. Hitting 'w' will switch to a pixel coordinate system and back. The following colon commands available are: center value Display or set the center pixel. If no value is specified, the current center is displayed. If there is a value, it is taken as the pixel which to place the center of the region to be averaged. By default, center is INDEF, indicating to use whatever the center pixel of the current spectrum is. This value is written back to the "center" task parameter when the task is finished. end value Display or set the end pixel of the region. If no value is specified, this displays the current end pixel of the region. Note that both start and end positions must be specified in order for them to take effect. If not, the 'center' and 'size' parameters define the pixel region to be averaged. This value is written back to the "end_pixel" parameter when the task completes. low_reject value Display or set the low_reject sigma. This value is written back to the "low_reject" parameter when the task completes. high_reject value Display or set the high_reject sigma. This value is written back to the "high_reject" parameter when the task completes. iterations value Display or set the number of rejection iterations to perform. This value is written back to the "iterations" parameter when the task completes. size value Display or set the size of the region to average. This value is written back to the "size" parameter when the task completes. start value Display or set the start pixel of the region. If no value is specified, this displays the current start pixel of the region. Note that both start and end positions must be specified in order for them to take effect. If not, the 'center' and 'size' parameters define the pixel region to be averaged. This value is written back to the "start_pixel" parameter when the task completes.
